The Spatial Distribution and Utilization Characteristics and Its Driving Mechanism of Urban Office Building in Ningbo City

With the development of urban modern service industry and information economy growing stronger, the development and layout of office industry has gradually become one important symbol of urban economic service and urban functional structure. Objective: In order to analyze the spatial distribution and utilization characteristics in Ningbo and their drive mechanism, to provide scientific guidance for the urban spatial function and structure in Ningbo. Research Methods: On the basis of project team field data, making use of spatial kernel density analysis, local Moran index and location entropy analysis. Findings: (i) spatial distribution of multi-center multi-circle shape began to form in Sanjiangkou, along rivers and transportation to shaft-like spill is evident; (ii) the second level block is in small-scale, the third level block in lags behind as a whole; developed block also has a higher overall service capabilities, while developing block has a single function, uncoordinated with the entire development of the city; (iii) positive correlation exist between the type and level of utilization of office and the space of commercial center, river, main roads; (iv) political, economic and corporate microscopic principal, physical geography, history, culture and other factors are interweave through the combined effect to regulate and guidance the office industry and producer services on the agglomeration and dispersion dynamic evolution in time and space; Conclusions: Offices industrial development should be coupled with the coordinated development of urban services, the fundamental purpose is to create a better life, to meet the diverse needs of the creative community is the city office industry’s core value.
