湖南小城镇发展研究

自改革开放以来，小城镇发展对湖南城市化的贡献逐步加大。１９９８年，湖南建制镇冲数已达１００１个，建制镇非农业 省非农业人口比重已上升到４５．０４％，但湖南小城镇有存在家庭不清、规划滞后、规模小、设施水平低、缺乏特色、体制落后突出问题。应确立小城镇发展在全省农村剩余劳动力转移中的优先地位，进一步提高小城镇湖南城市化的贡献；应尽快开展全省小城镇普查，制定科学的小城镇发展与建设规划，应因地制宜地选择１１

DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL TOWNS IN HUNAN PROVINCE

Since the introduction of the reform and open-door policy in China, the development of small towns in Hunan Province has contributed increasingly to the regional urbanization. In 1998, the number of towns in the province was 1001, with non-agricultural population accounting for more than 45% of the total provincial non-agricultural population. However, due to the shortage of the resource information, many existing problems may cause the delay of further development of these small towns, among which the lack of facilities and of the development plan, and the unidentified local role and non-obvious features as different from each other are of the most concern. We should therefore 1) establish the precedent status of small towns' development in the transformation of rural surplus labor force in Hunan; 2) raise the contributions of small towns in the urbanization of Hunan, 3) carry out surveys of Hunan's small towns; 4) work out scientific plans for small town's development and construction; 5) choose various development patterns for small towns in the light of local conditions, 6) develop distinctive industries which can suit different kinds of towns. Meanwhile, we should strengthen the construction of small towns' eco - environment, strengthen the construction of county towns and key central towns, promote small town's systems innovation and make demonstration engineering of the whole province's small towns construction.
