ABSTRACT: This
paper chooses the manufacturing added value as the main research indicator, using
gravity analysis method to analyze the spatial evolution of manufacturing
industry in Guangdong province from 2006 to 2015, decomposing the manufacturing
gravity and calculating the grey correlation degree. The results show that: 1) manufacturing gravity is mainly distributed in Dongguan, it is characterized by moving eastward; 2) the labor-intensive manufacturing gravity is in
the southwest and northeast, capital-intensive manufacturing gravity is in the
northwest, while technology-intensive manufacturing gravity is in the
southeast; 3) the whole manufacturing is the most relevant to
the technology-intensive manufacturing, and the least is labor-intensive. The
shift of the technology-intensive manufacturing industry has the greatest
impact on the whole manufacturing; 4) the
effect of manufacturing transfer on the balance of manufacturing in Guangdong
province is not obvious. In order to realize the balanced development of
manufacturing spatial distribution, we should further strengthen the
manufacturing upgrading in the less developed areas and improve the technical
development level of the backward areas.
