Abstract

Abstract:

The Seto Inland Sea region is a typical region for the development of modern Japanese manufacturing industry and the transformation of industrial structure. Based on the output value data of various industries in the Seto Inland Sea region from 1980 to 2019, this study uses industrial structure entropy and spatial dispersion index to explore the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of the structure of the manufacturing industry in the Seto Inland Sea region, and analyzes the factors affecting its development. The study found that: ① The economic structure of the Seto Inland Sea region is complex and diversified, and the division of labor in the manufacturing industry is generally balanced, with differences between different prefectures; ② Nearly half of the industries in the manufacturing industry in the Seto Inland Sea region have significant industrial transfer phenomena, among which labor-intensive industries are mainly concentrated in coastal areas, and the overall structure shows a trend of spreading from coastal areas to surrounding areas. Capital-intensive industries are small in scale and more concentrated than labor-intensive industries. They are distributed in coastal prefectures. The concentration of technology-intensive industries is increasing, showing a trend of spreading from the eastern coastal areas of the Seto Inland Sea to the western areas; ③ From 1980 to 2019, the transportation machinery and equipment manufacturing, precision machinery and equipment manufacturing, general machinery and equipment manufacturing, food, beverage, feed and tobacco manufacturing industries in the Seto Inland Sea region of Japan showed a spatial diffusion trend, while the steel industry, textile industry, wood and wood products, ceramics and stone products, electrical equipment and machinery manufacturing and other industries showed a spatial agglomeration trend; ④ Natural resource endowments, technological innovation and talents, market demand, government policies, international environment and other factors have a promoting effect on the industrial layout of the manufacturing industry in the Seto Inland Sea region of Japan.

Key words: Japan, Seto Inland Sea region, manufacturing, industrial structure, spatial layout

摘要：

制造业是工业中最核心、最基础的产业之一，濑户内海地区是现代日本制造业发展和产业结构转型的典型区域。本研究基于1980—2019年濑户内海地区制造业各行业产值数据，运用产业结构熵、空间分散度指数等方法，探索濑户内海地区制造业产业结构的时空演化特征，并分析影响其发展的因素，旨在为我国制造业发展提供一定的启示。研究发现：①濑户内海地区经济结构复杂且多元化，制造业产业分工总体均衡，但不同府县间存在差异；②濑户内海地区制造业中有近一半的行业存在显著的产业转移现象，其中，劳动密集型产业主要集中在沿岸地区，其整体结构呈现出从沿岸地区向周边扩散的态势，资本密集型产业发展规模较小，相较于劳动密集型产业更为集中，主要分布于沿岸府县，技术密集型产业的集中程度日趋增强，呈现出由濑户内海沿岸东部地区向西部地区扩散的趋势；③1980—2019年间，日本濑户内海地区运输机械设备制造、精密机械设备制造、一般机械设备制造、食品饮料饲料和烟草制造行业在空间上呈现扩散态势，而钢铁业、纺织工业、木材和木制品、陶瓷和石材制品、电气设备机械制造等行业在空间上呈现集聚态势；④自然资源禀赋、技术创新与人才、市场需求、政府政策、国际环境等因素对日本濑户内海地区的制造业产业布局具有促进作用。
