Abstract:
Based on the data of industrial enterprises above designated size in China, using spatial statistical methods such as standard deviation ellipse, Ripley′s function analysis and nuclear density estimation, the spatial differentiation patterns of foreign investment enterprises in the Loess Plateau in 2006, 2010 and 2015 were measured.Geographic detector was used to analyze the geographical factors of the spatial distribution of foreign investment enterprises in the Loess Plateau. The results show that the spatial distribution of foreign investment enterprises in the Loess Plateau firstly spreads to the ellipse center and then spreads along the long axis.The distribution center has been moving to the southwest, and the central point has been in the territory of Shaanxi Province. The scope of agglomeration is first increased and then decreased, and the strongest range of agglomeration trend of enterprise points is also a process of increasing from small to large.High-value core areas and higher-value sub-core areas are gradually expanding, forming a “several” word. The spatial distribution pattern of the type, and the adjacent areas in the periphery of the core area, there is a distribution of the sub-core group in the strip. The factors affecting the spatial layout of the foreign investment enterprises in the Loess Plateau have experienced from the single factor of the openness to the multiple factors, such as, the level of industrialization and technology, innovation capability and openness.
