Abstract: By using the integrated variation coefficients of industrial production space and the industrial structure adjustment index,we analyzed the changes in industrial production space and industrial structure during the transformation period in Pearl River Delta (PRD) and evaluated their coupling coordination degree by using the coupling model.The main results obtained in this study are given as follows.1) The industrial production space has an expanding trend from core area to periphery in PRD,and the change degree in periphery is larger than in core area.2) The industrial structure of PRD has been constantly optimized during the transformation period,but cities which are in different stages of industrialization development have different adjustment directions.The cities at higher industrialization level tend to evolve toward higher industrial structures and pay much attention to the development quality and environmental protection.However,the cities at lower industrialization level mainly develop the resource-based industry and high pollution industry.3) The coupling coordination degree between industrial production space change and industrial structure adjustment in periphery of PRD is higher than in core area,but the coupling coordination level and development quality in the periphery of PRD are very low.During the economic transformation period,we should not only show concern for the increase of the "quantity",but also pay more attention to the promotion of the "quality" of the industrial production space and industrial structure.
