Abstract

Louw E., van der Krabben E. and van Amsterdam H. The spatial productivity of industrial land, Regional Studies. This paper presents a theoretical approach to analysing the concept of spatial productivity and the meaning of land as a production factor in regional science. It presents the results of an empirical study that aims to determine and explain regional differences in the spatial productivity of industrial estates in the Netherlands. It shows that spatial productivity is influenced by urbanization rates, the share of manufacturing employment on industrial estates and land development policy.

Louw E., van der Krabben E. and van Amsterdam H. 产业用地的空间生产力,区域研究。 本文用理论方法分析区域科学中空间生产力的概念以及土地作为生产要素的意义。本文是一个相关经验研究的结果,该研究旨在明确并解释荷兰产业园区空间生产力的区域差异。结果表明,空间生产力受到城市化率、产业园中制造业就业率以及土地发展政策的影响。

Louw E., van der Krabben E. et van Amsterdam H. La productivité géographique du terrain industriel, Regional Studies. Cet article présente une approche théorique d'analyser la notion de productivité géographique et la raison d'être du terrain en tant que facteur de production dans la science régionale. On présente les résultats d'une étude empirique qui cherche à déterminer et à expliquer les écarts régionaux de la productivité géographique des zones industrielles aux Pays-Bas. Il montre que la productivité géographique est influée par le taux d'urbanisation, par la part de l'emploi industriel aux zones industrielles, et par la politique en faveur de l'occupation du sol.

Louw E., van der Krabben E. und van Amsterdam H. Die räumliche Produktivität von Industriegrundstücken, Regional Studies. In diesem Beitrag wird ein theoretischer Ansatz zur Analyse des Konzepts der räumlichen Produktivität und der Bedeutung von Grundstücken als Produktionsfaktor in der Regionalwissenschaft vorgestellt. Wir stellen die Ergebnisse einer empirischen Studie vor, mit der die regionalen Unterschiede bei der räumlichen Produktivität von Industriegebieten in den Niederlanden ermittelt und erläutert werden sollen. Wir zeigen, dass die räumliche Produktivität durch die Urbanisationsraten, den Anteil der produzierenden Erwerbstätigen in den Industriegebieten und die Politik zur Landerschließung beeinflusst wird.

Louw E., van der Krabben E. y van Amsterdam H. La productividad espacial del suelo industrial, Regional Studies. En este artículo presentamos un enfoque teórico para analizar el concepto de la productividad espacial y el significado del suelo como un factor de producción en la ciencia regional. Mostramos los resultados de un estudio empírico cuyo objetivo es determinar y explicar las diferencias regionales en la productividad espacial de los polígonos industriales de los Países Bajos. Demostramos que la productividad espacial está influenciada por tasas de urbanización, la cuota de empleo en el sector manufacturero de polígonos industriales y la política de urbanización del suelo.

Notes

Employment densities on industrial estates correlate highly with spatial productivity (Pearson correlation for 1995 = 0.958; for 1999 = 0.968; and for 2003 = 0.966) because these densities are implicitly used in the calculation of spatial productivity. Using the employment densities on industrial estates to explain regional differences in spatial productivity yields high R Footnote2-values: for 1995 = 0.807; for 1999 = 0.891; and for 2004 = 0.891). The unexplained variance is then due to regional differences in labour productivity.

This can also be derived from research by Dunse et al. Citation(2005), who found that rent gradients for industrial property were very shallow near central business districts or short-distance gradients near motorway junctions.
