本文在分析城市经济区的概念与性质的基础上，借鉴前人研究理论、方法与成果，采用新的数学方法将新疆划分为七个城市经济区，并进而提出各城市经济区的主导产业造反及区域开发宏观战略。全文可分为两大部分。第一部分包括一、二、三、章，侧重理论分析。其中，第一章分析了经济区的定义、特性及其形成的客观基础，以及城市经济区的内涵和构成。第二章总结了经济区划的一般原则，前人划分城市经济影响区和城市经济区的理论与方法。第三章总结了前人对于新疆区内二级经济区的划分方案。第二部分包括四五章，侧重实际应用研究。第四部分是本文的核心，首先运用因子分析法（Factors Analysis Method）对全疆19个市及68个城关镇进行了综合实力指数评价及等级层次划分。在此基础上，以7条国道为主，69条省道为辅，模拟城市之间的经济联系网络，计算出中心城市外部效应场划分指数，得出新疆各中心城市的经济影响区范围。最后，根据经济影响区界限，参照现实情况及发展动态，将新划分为七个城市经济区。第五章是第四章的继续和扩展，在前一章划分方案的基础上，分析了新疆各城市经济区产业结构的优化配置，提出该地区未来地域开发的宏观战略构想。本文的主要创新之处在于第一次从城市经济的全新视角，运用定量分析的方法，对新疆经济区划这一理论和实践上都具有重大意义的问题进行了新的客观、科学的问答，从而克服了传统划分方法的主观性和局限性。Based on the analysis of concept and attribute of urban economic region, Xinjiang is divided into seven urban economic regions with new mathematical method absorbing the theory、method and accomplishment of former researcher in this field. Then the leading industry and development strategy of each urban economic region is put forward This dissertation can be divided into two parts: The first part includes the first three chapters. The definition and characteristics of economic region as well as the notion and structure of urban economic region are analyzed in the first chapter. The general principle of economic region division as well as the former theory and method of dividing urban economic impact region and urban economic region is summarized in the second chapter. At last, the former division scheme of economic region in Xinjiang is stated in the third chapter. The second part includes the forth and the fifth chapter, which puts special emphasis on the study of practical use. The forth chapter is the core of this dissertation in which the Factors Analysis Method is used to assess the comprehensive strenth index of 19 cities and 68 towns. All this cities and towns are devided into four levels. We can caculate the division index for the outer effection field of each center city, figure out the economic impact region of each ceter city by simulating economical connection network among the cities. At last, in the light of the limit of economic impact region. Xinjiang is divided into seven urban economic region. The fifth chapter is the extension of the forth chapter, in which the optimum allocation of industry structure in each urban economic region is analyzed and region development strategy is put forward. The originality of this dissertation is that for the first time, from the new prospect of urban economy and using the quantitative method, the author answer scientifically and objectively the question of how to divide economic region in Xinjiang. In this process, the author overcome the subjectivity and limitations. of the traditional division method
