- Abstract
Based on demographic data in Jiangsu Province from 2004 to 2009 the characteristic and law of spatial population distribution in Jiangsu Province was analyzed with population density analysis, spatial auto-correlation, spatial construction index analysis and gravity center analysis. The results show that: 1 the population density is obviously distinct in spatial, which appears dense in the center of city and gradually reduces in the country around downtown area; the most areas appears dense lie in the Southern Jiangsu and Central Jiangsu; 2 population distribution in Jiangsu Province significantly shows spatial clustering pattern on the whole, where in the part shows well spatial construction and form the southeast – northwest patterns; 3 the gravity center of population moved to the northwest which migrated along with economic center; 4 population distribution in Jiangsu Province appears imbalance; though the end of populations distribution shows concentration the amplitude of changes slows down.
