Abstract:

Spatial connection intensity is an important indicator for the development stage, situation, and function position of urban agglomeration. With the wide use of mobile terminals and networking platform, population mobility among different regions can be traced and expressed more accurately by using big data analysis technique. Based on the database of microblog, a new measurement method for spatial connection intensity is proposed in this study. The new method makes up for the traditional disadvantages resulting from the lack of commuting data. Therefore, it provides guidance for accurate identification of urban agglomeration.

Key words: micro blogging, spatial connection intensity, Zhongyuan urban agglomeration, radiation scope
