ABSTRACT
Evaluating the effect of the construction of agricultural science and technology parks (hereinafter referred to as the park) based on the growth pole theory is of great significance for optimizing the layout of the parks and promoting the high-quality development of regional agriculture. Using parameter estimation, cluster analysis, and other statistical methods, we constructed a multi-dimensional evaluation system of the construction effect of the parks (agglomeration effect, diffusion effect, and comprehensive effect of agglomeration-diffusion), examined the relationship between the geographic layout of the parks and the growth pole effect from the viewpoint of spatial analysis, estimated the degree of the growth pole effect, and evaluated the construction effectiveness of the seven national parks in Shandong Province. The results show that: (1) Shandong Province parks have all played a certain degree of agglomeration effect, and the most obvious agglomeration effect is the Jimo Park, which has a significant role in the agglomeration of factors. (2) The diffusion effect of Shandong Province parks varies significantly, and the diffusion effect of the two parks in Yantai and Jining is significant, and their radiation-driven role is prominent. (3) Shandong Province parks have formed a total of 28 combinations, with 20 combinations exhibiting the agglomeration-diffusion effect, among which 16 combinations function at a distance. It can be observed that the process of forming growth poles in the parks follows an intrinsic occurrence law. This process is characterized by the gradual breakthrough of spatial and geographic limitations and serves as a platform spanning across regions. This research helps to enrich and improve the theory of the layout of parks and also has reference value for the formulation of relevant policies and layout optimization of the parks in Shandong Province and even in China.
