There is important significance in theory and practice to study the competitive power of the urban agglomeration on the west coast of the strait for promoting sustainable economic development of the urban agglomeration on the west coast of the strait. According to constructing evaluating index system of urban competitive power difference of the urban agglomeration on the west coast of the strait and the Grey Relational Synthetic Evaluation is adopted to evaluate and compare the competitive power of the urban agglomeration on the west coast of the strait. The study finds that the sequence of urban competitive strength of the urban agglomeration on the west coast of the strait is Fuzhou, Xiamen, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Ningde and Putian; And the competitive power shows imbalance difference distribution with ‘four groups’ that is Leading Group, Challenging Group, Catching-up Group and Backward Group, finally suggestions that shortening the non-equilibrium differences of urban competitive power between the four regions are put forward.
The study of urban competitive power of the urban agglomeration on the west side of Taiwan Straits has both theoretical and practical significance. According to constructing index system of evaluating and using grey relational synthetic evaluation, the assessment and comparison are progressed by the urban competitive power of the urban agglomeration on the west side of Taiwan Straits. It is found that during the seven factors which influence urban competitive power of the urban agglomeration on the west side of Taiwan Straits, the influencing effect from strong to weak sorting is Government Power, Science and Education Power, Economic Power, Development Level, Financial Power, City Service and Industrial Structure. Meanwhile, against the existing factors, some suggestions of the competitive power upgrade will be pointed out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
