Evaluation and Analysis of Regional Capacity for Industrial Undertaking in Guangdong Province Under the Context of Industrial Transfer

Abstract

Industrial transfer and undertaking are unavoidable consequences of the free allocation of enterprises and resources in space, and reasonable transfer and undertaking in the region will have an impact on the region’s future coordinated growth. This paper examines industrial transfer in Guangdong Province through a perspective of industrial undertaking place, primarily using the push-pull model of industrial transfer as a theoretical foundation. It measures and analyses 21 cities in Guangdong Province across four dimensions: regional infrastructure capacity, industrial scale advantage, market volume and potential, and regional brand effect. The three components of industrial scale effect gravity, regional infrastructure gravity, and regional industrial structure gravity are extracted by factors to interpret the undertaking capacity of each region, sort out the gradient and orderly transfer scheme from the Pearl River Delta（PRD）region to the east-northwest of Guangdong Province, and make some recommendations.
