甘肃省主要城市农业科技竞争力综合评价研究

农业科技是推动传统农业向现代农业转变的强大动力。近年来,中共中央对推进农业科技创新、提升农业科技竞争力表现出极大的关注。而位于西北地区的甘肃省也在积极贯彻并落实关于发展现代农业、加强农村科技创新能力、提高农业科技成果转化的战略任务当中。以甘肃省12个地级市和2个自治州共14个主要城市2013年农业科技数据为依据,构建农业科技竞争力的评价指标体系。采用主成分分析法对甘肃省主要城市的农业科技竞争力进行排序,通过聚类分析法将各城市的农业科技竞争力按相似性分为四类进行评价分析。研究结果表明:甘肃省各市农业科技竞争力水平的高低与该地区农业经济、综合经济发展水平呈现正相关关系,且各地区间农业科技发展水平差距较大,但提升空间和发展势头不可小觑。并提出提高甘肃省农业科技竞争力的政策建议,为研究西部地区其他省市农业科技竞争力水平做出典型示范的作用。

Comprehensive Evaluation and Research of Agricultural Science and Technology Competitiveness of the Major Cities in Gansu Province

Agricultural science and technology is a powerful driving force to promote transformation of traditional agriculture to modern agriculture. In recent years, the Chinese leaders have shown great concern on the innovation of agricultural science and technology and the upgrading of competitiveness in agricultural science and technology. Gansu Province located in the northwest region of China is actively carrying out the strategic task of developing modern agriculture, strengthening scientific and technological innovation capacity in rural areas, and improving the transformation rate of achievements gained in agricultural science and technology. According to the data of 12 prefecture-level cities and 2 autonomous prefectures in Gansu Province in agricultural science and technology in 2013, this paper established a comprehensive indicator system to evaluate the agricultural science and technology competitiveness. And through clustering analysis the paper divided these cities into 4 categories according to their similarities in competitiveness. The results showed that the level of agricultural science and technology competitiveness was positively correlated with the development level of total economy and agricultural economy in the region. There were gaps in the levels of agricultural science and technology development among those 4 groups. But there were also rooms for further development, which should not be overlooked. The paper provided policy suggestions for improving the competitiveness in agricultural science and technology in Gansu Province. All these would play a demonstration role for other provinces and cities in western regions of China to upgrade competitiveness in agricultural science and technology.
