Advantages evaluation of integrating administrative and functional zones based on Island political location potential theory: A case study of the Zhoushan Archipelago New Area in China
Linhan Shao, Tingting Xu, Kaiyong Wang, Yufan Chen
TL;DR
This paper introduces a new model to evaluate administrative and functional zone integration in island regions, using the Zhoushan Archipelago as a case study.
Contribution
The novel Political Location Potential (PLP) model quantifies administrative efficiency in island regions using production functions.
Findings
The PLP of Zhoushan City increased from 0.007 in 2008 to 0.066 in 2022.
Competitive comparative advantage and land-island connectivity significantly affect PLP with a 3–5 year lag.
The PLP model provides strong explanatory power for administrative and functional zone integration effects.
Abstract
Administrative division adjustment is a new reform method and policy tool designed to align with local economic foundations and revitalize the development potential of administrative districts. However, it lacks systematic and quantifiable theories and methods. In response, we propose the Political Location Potential (PLP) model based on production functions, which is specifically applicable to islands. Using the Zhoushan Archipelago New Area as a case study, we analyze the efficiency and mechanisms behind the establishment of China’s first archipelago new area. The PLP model consists of two key components: horizontal production resource allocation capability and vertical administrative management authority. The PLP of Zhoushan City has increased from 0.007 in 2008 to 0.066 in 2022, with a relative potential energy of 2.853, 3.717 and 1.449 during the critical stages of 2010–2014,…
