【摘要】 区域发展不平衡的深化是资本“跷跷板”运动驱动下边缘地区“流空间转向”的最直观空间显现。自1978年改革开放以来，以跨国公司为载体的流动资本不断突破空间壁垒，致使越来越多的县域面向区域化、全球化发展，这引发了县域内部的不平衡发展。据此，本文构建了基于流空间、不平衡发展理论的县域聚落体系演化理论框架，通过1984—2019年江阴市外资及其股权关联企业的投资关联建立投资网络，运用Pearson相关性分析与回归分析探讨投资网络与县域聚落体系的关系，尝试厘清县域聚落体系在流空间影响下的不平衡发展机制。研究结果表明：(1)地方空间的“流空间转向”是一个多尺度嵌套过程，流空间是资本运动的地理工具，天然带有不平衡发展特质。(2)研究期间，江阴市县域聚落体系呈现不平衡发展格局，高等级聚落节点集中于“一轴一带”区域。(3)外资及其股权关联企业向“一轴一带”区域集聚，投资网络在资本与权力的共同建构下呈现不平衡发展特征。(4)投资网络与聚落等级结构存在正相关性，其牵动了县域内部资本和人口等要素的结构变化，县域聚落体系的不平衡发展是地方空间向流空间转变的既定结果。更多还原

【Abstract】 The intensification of regional uneven development is the most evident spatial manifestation of the capital “seesaw” effect, driven by the “space of flows” transformation in peripheral areas. Since the inception of the reform and opening-up policy, multinational corporations have progressively overcome spatial constraints in capital flows, resulting in an increasing number of counties experiencing both regionalization and globalization. This has led to uneven development across these counties. The paper develops a research framework for the evolution of the county settlement system grounded in the theory of uneven development and space of flows. This study constructs an investment network by analyzing the investment relationships between foreign-invested enterprises and their equity affiliates in Jiangyin from 1984 to 2019. It employs Pearson correlation analysis and regression analysis to investigate the relationship between the investment network and the county settlement system. The study aims to elucidate the mechanism underlying the uneven development of the county settlement system influenced by the space of flows. The conclusions reveal that:(1) The transition from the space of places to the space of flows is a multi-scalar, nested process. The space of flows serves as a geographical instrument for capital circulation and is inherently marked by uneven development.(2) Over the study period, the settlement system in Jiangyin displayed an uneven development pattern, with high-level settlement nodes predominantly concentrated within the “one axis and one belt” region.(3) Foreign investment and its equity-linked enterprises are predominantly located within the “one axis and one belt” region. The development of these investment networks is characterized by significant unevenness, driven by the interplay of capital and power.(4) There is a positive correlation between the structure of the investment network and the hierarchical structure of the county settlement system. Foreign investment catalyzes structural changes in capital, population, and other factors within the county, resulting in spatial transformation from places to flows, which in turn leads to uneven development within the county settlement system.更多还原
