本文建立了一个以居民的福利为基础的对中心地各体系的最优性进行测量的系统,以此分析当中地系统从一种变成另一种,或中地系统的组织原则改变时,系统总的得失,为城镇体系的优化提供依据;讨论了中心地各系统在经济和社会各个发展阶段的适用性;作者还用中地论及本文建立的测量系统透视了“点轴”系统,认为它更适合于发展中经济。

Based on the resident’s welfare, the author creates a system which can be used to measure the optimum of each central place system and to analyze the total gain and loss when its subsys-tem changes from one form into another. In the welfare system,k=3 system means less average transport distance and time, therefore higher welfare level; k=4 and k=7 system improve resident’s welfare level by deducing transport cost rate and administration cost, respectively.Through the system created, the relationship between central-place system and economic-development is observed. The results demonstrate that from autarky to developed economy, the central-place system will evolve successively as follows; k=7; complex systems of k=7 and k=4; k= 4; complex systems of k= 4 and k= 3; k= 3.At the end, with the central place theory and the system above, the author manages to give the point-axle system a perspective. The conclusion is that the point-axle system is suitable for the developing economy, and market principle (or k= 3 system) is more suitable in relatively de-veloped regions.
