Abstract

Stepping into the new stage of trade openness, shipping city initiatives have attracted increasing attention. An integrated five-dimension system is constructed to investigate the construction level of shipping city. The entropy-weighted TOPSIS method is applied to assess typical shipping cities in China from 2006 to 2021. And the center radiation-driving force is measured by the gravitational model. Furthermore, the distribution dynamics and regional differences are examined to reveal the spatial structure behind urban transition. The results highlighted that (1) center radiation-driving force had excellent performance compared with other indicators. (2) As for the ranking of cities, Shanghai and Ningbo had a relatively high evaluation values thanks to their radiation-driving power. (3) Through the reginal analysis, the degree of comprehensive benefits took the following in order: eastern region > northern region > southern region. Based on the empirical results, the government should formulate suitable policies to form an exemplary and leading effect of shipping city ultimately.

基于 Entropy-Weighted TOPSIS 方法的新型航运城市多维评价框架和时空分析

步入贸易开放的新阶段，航运城市的倡议日益受到关注。本文构建了一个综合的五维度体系来考察航运城市的建设水平。采用熵权 TOPSIS 法对 2006-2021 年中国典型航运城市进行评估。并通过引力模型测算了中心辐射驱动力。此外，还研究了城市的分布动态和区域差异，揭示了城市转型背后的空间结构。结果表明：（1）与其他指标相比，中心辐射带动力表现优异。(2）在城市排名方面，上海和宁波凭借其辐射带动力获得了相对较高的评价值。(3）通过区域分析，综合效益程度依次为：东部地区；北部地区；南部地区。根据实证结果，政府应制定相应的政策，最终形成航运城市的示范引领效应。

期刊介绍： In the context of rapid globalization and technological capacity, the world’s economies today are driven increasingly by knowledge—the expertise, skills, experience, education, understanding, awareness, perception, and other qualities required to communicate, interpret, and analyze information. New wealth is created by the application of knowledge to improve productivity—and to create new products, services, systems, and process (i.e., to innovate). The Journal of the Knowledge Economy focuses on the dynamics of the knowledge-based economy, with an emphasis on the role of knowledge creation, diffusion, and application across three economic levels: (1) the systemic ''meta'' or ''macro''-level, (2) the organizational ''meso''-level, and (3) the individual ''micro''-level. The journal incorporates insights from the fields of economics, management, law, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and political science to shed new light on the evolving role of knowledge, with a particular emphasis on how innovation can be leveraged to provide solutions to complex problems and issues, including global crises in environmental sustainability, education, and economic development. Articles emphasize empirical studies, underscoring a comparative approach, and, to a lesser extent, case studies and theoretical articles. The journal balances practice/application and theory/concepts.
