Abstract

Based on a brief comment on the status quo of domestic and foreign shrinking cities research, this paper highlights the significance of analyzing urban shrinkage in Jilin Province. By collecting and analyzing county-level demographic data from the 2000 and 2010 censuses, we identified 26 shrinking cities in a total of 48 administrative units in Jilin and summarized the development process and spatial distribution characteristics of depopulation. Then, we classified the factors influencing urban shrinkage from both external and internal perspectives and analyzed the comprehensive mechanism in depth. This paper expects to provide a reference for future planning of shrinking cities in Jilin Province.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The ‘hu ji’ population refers to the population with administrative residence registration. The ‘de facto’ population means the actual population living in an administrative area. The urban population refers to the population living in cities and towns and that is mainly engaged in non-agricultural industries. The employed population refers to the population aged 16 or above that is engaged in certain social work or business activities and obtains remuneration or business income.

  2. 2.

    The Shixia district is the core component of urban districts and the center of regional development, where urbanization and population density are generally high.

  3. 3.

    ‘Renhufenli’ means that a person’s administrative residence registration is different from where he/she lives.

  4. 4.

    ‘Guan Nei’ districts refer to the area south of Shanhaiguan. ‘Guan Wai’ districts refer to the area north of Shanhaiguan, essentially equivalent to the Northeast region.

  5. 5.

    The ‘Hada axis’ refers to the urban development zone along traffic corridor from Harbin to Dalia. The ‘Changhun axis’ is the urban development zone along the traffic corridor from Changchun to Hunchun.

  6. 6.

    ‘Big pot’ is a metaphor for the egalitarian phenomenon.
