Abstract:On the basis of defining the concept of urbanization quality, an evaluation index system for urbanization quality and scale was constructed. The quality and scale of urbanization about 17 cities in Shandong Province from 2009 to 2015 were measured by mean-squared deviation weight method.Then the spatial statistical model and the coupled coordination model were introduced to calculate the space-time differentiation and coupling coordination degree of the quality and scale of urbanization. The results show as follows.1) Driven by the two core cities of Qingdao and Jinan, the quality of urbanization and the scale development in Shandong Province are generally on the rise.2) The quality and scale of urbanization show an uncoordinated spatial pattern of interregionalization. Urban agglomeration is better than quality, and urbanization in Shandong Peninsula is highly concentrated.3)The overall coordination of urbanization quality and scale in Shandong Province is relatively high.It gradually increases over time and shows a trend of decreasing from the coast to the inland.
