ABSTRACT: Using spatial autocorrelation analysis method, the
spatial and temporal evolution of the overall development of Guangdong’s
transportation capacity during 2001-2016 is analyzed. There is no large
displacement between high-level and low-level agglomeration areas between
cities, and there is obvious path dependence. According to the development
level of transportation capacity of 21 prefecture-level cities in 2010-2016,
the factors affecting the development level of transportation capacity are
discussed. The results show that: Guangdong’s overall transportation capacity
has increased with time, and transportation resources have been concentrated in
Guangzhou in recent years. Cities in the high-level transportation capacity
segment and cities in the low-level transportation capacity segment are
relatively fixed, and there is path dependence; transportation fixed assets
investment, transportation industry employees, and economic development level
improve the transportation capacity. There is a significant positive impact;
government fiscal expenditure and industrial structure have a significant negative
impact on transportation development, reflecting the ineffectiveness and
mismatch in the process of government fiscal expenditure and the unreasonable
industrial structure; population density has no obvious development of
transportation capacity. As the population density increases, traffic
congestion in the city will not produce a good effect on the improvement of
transportation capacity.
