Abstract:

The oasis urbanization characteristics were studied by using a comprehensive index evaluation system,which included "water penetration", "over-exploitation of water resources", and some basic index. The quality and scale of urbanization of oasis cities was evaluated by entropy method. The couplings between the quality and scale of urbanization of 14 states in Xinjiang were considered through the coupling coordination degree model.The results showed that: 1)the urbanization comprehensive level was rising in the past years with quality of urbanization lagged behind the scale of urbanization in oasis cities; and 2)the coupling coordination degrees of the quality and scale of urbanization were obviously spatially different in oasis cities. Therefore, some measures were put forward to coordinate the quality and scale of urbanization in oasis.

Key words: quality of urbanization, scale of urbanization, interactive coordination, Xinjiang, oasis
