ABSTRACT

In the past three decades, China has experienced vigorous urbanization. However, the economy-centered urbanization caused social issues and is being replaced by the new-type people-centered urbanization. Technology innovation plays a key role in urbanization. Previous studies examine the relationship between technology innovation and the traditional economy-centered urbanization. But the relationship between technology innovation and the new-type people-centered urbanization remains unknown. As such, this paper develops a comprehensive evaluation index system for technology innovation and the new-type urbanization based on the data from Shaanxi province between 2000 and 2014. A variation coefficient method is applied to determine the weight of each index. Then a model is proposed and tested. At the end, conclusions are reached based on the results of the tests on the model. Recommendations for dealing with technology innovation and the new-type urbanization are provided.

Conclusions

The unprecedented rate of urbanization requires smarter ways to manage the accompanying challenges in urban areas (Nam and Pardo, 2011b). Technology innovation is approached to solve tangled and wicked problems inherited in the rapid urbanization. In the past three decades, market reform and globalization drove a massive rural-urban migration in China (Lin and Yi, 2011). China has experienced vigorous urbanization since 1978 (Chen et al., 2016). This economy-centered was thought as a means of GDP growth rather than a natural historical process of aggregation of resources in China. The misunderstanding of urbanization and the extensive development of urbanization caused social issues in the past, such as high housing prices, land finance, housing demolition contradiction. Accordingly, the coordinated development between technology innovation and new-type urbanization must be achieved. Sustainable development is the correct approach to promote population urbanization, economy urbanization, and society urbanization (Hu and Wang, 2012). To explore the relationship between technology innovation and the new-type urbanization, this paper develops a comprehensive evaluation index system. Data from Shaanxi province between 2000 and 2014 are loaded into this index system. Then a variation coefficient method is applied to calculate the comprehensive level of technology innovation and the new-type urbanization. Based on the result of calculation, this paper proposes a model to describe the relationship between technology innovation and the new-type urbanization. Tests are performed to examine the proposed model. The following conclusions can be reached based on the test. (1) From 2000 to 2014, the level of technology innovation and new-type urbanization in Shaanxi province grew rapidly. (2) There is a positive correlation between technology innovation and new-type urbanization. Technology innovation significantly impacts on new-type urbanization. There is a long-term stable equilibrium relationship between them. (3) There are significant positive correlations between technology innovation and the indices of population urbanization, economy urbanization, and society urbanization on the whole.
