Data Category | Data Source | Time Range | Data Applications |
---|---|---|---|
Urban construction land | GAUD dataset [26] | 1985–2015 | These data reflect the extent of urban construction land in the past years, and this study extracts industrial land parcels based on these construction land data |
Road network | Open Street Map (OSM) dataset | 2020 | These data reflect the distribution and rank of urban and rural roads. By overlaying with remote sensing images, these data can truly reflect the distribution of roads in the study area. This study uses OSM road network data to clip and split the urban land to extract industrial land blocks from it |
Enterprise big data | Tianyancha platform | 1985–2020 | These data reflect the registration time, operating status, spatial location, industrial category, business scope, and investment and financing connections among enterprises and factories [27] |
Socioeconomic panel data | China City Yearbook | 2001–2020 | These data are based on prefecture-level municipalities and can be used to reflect the socioeconomic development of each region |
Impact Indicators | Specific Indicators | Description of Specific Indicators | |
---|---|---|---|
Resistance ability | 1. Resistance Sensitivity | Resistance Sensitivity Index | Resistance represents the ability of an urban economic system to withstand a range of disruptions caused by risk perturbations; the higher the resistance, the lower the sensitivity, and the greater the resilience |
2. Industrial foundations | Industrial land area | The industrial land within the Lake Tai basin is used to reflect the base of its industrial economy; the larger the industrial land, the more stable it is in the face of economic turmoil | |
3. Regional investment and financing connections | Economic network centrality degree | Cities with strong regional economic connections are more likely to achieve inter-regional cooperation and are also more likely to benefit from the economic impetus of neighboring cities, improving the quality of urban economic development and the degree of regional integration | |
4. Industrial economic structure | Relative Diversity Index | Relative industrial diversification refers to the richness of a city’s industrial types and numbers. A higher level of diversity can facilitate the formation of highly redundant connection paths between complementary industries, which can reduce the impact of economic risk perturbations and quickly restore system functions in the face of shocks | |
Relative Specialization Index | Relative industrial specialization refers to the process of clustering production sectors with internal and external linkages based on a city’s labor, industrial, and natural endowments. Adequate industrial specialization can lead to an orderly regional distribution of labor and avoid homogeneous competition. In addition, industry specialization helps to gather superior resources in the industry, improve the overall power of discourse and adapt to changes in market demand. | ||
Recovery ability | 1. Recovery Sensitivity | Recovery Sensitivity Index | Recovery represents a city’s ability to adapt and recover from risk perturbations; the higher the resilience, the lower the sensitivity, and the more resilient |
2. Independent innovation ability | Average Industry technology complexity | Industries with higher technological complexity are more non-substitutable in the industrial chain and supply chain and have an advantage in the recovery and evolution phase and are therefore considered positive factors |
Economic Resilience | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th |
