云南省与内地省份城市规模体系发展的差异＊--基于云南省与河南省的数据比较

作为边疆省份的云南省和内地省份的河南省，它们在城市规模体系的发展方面存在着显著差异，表现为前者的高城市指数与后者的低城市指数，前者的Zipf指数小于1，后者的Zipf指数常大于1。引起这种差距的原因主要基于经济一体化程度的不同及区域地理环境的差异。而随着经济社会的发展，二省区的城市规模体系也日趋合理化。

Developmental Differences of City Scale Systems Between Yunnan and Inland Provinces---Based on the Data Comparison of Yunnan Province and Henan Province

There are significant differences between the frontier province of Yunnan and the inland province of Henan in the development of city scale system, showing as the higher city index of the former and lower city index of the latter, the Zipf index of the former is less than 1 and the Zipf index of the latter is more than 1. The causes of this gap are mainly the differences of economic integration level and regional geographical environment. But with the development of economy and society, the city scale systems of the two provinces will be reasonable.
