TI  - The Development Evaluation of Economic Zones in China.

AB  - After the Chinese reform and opening up, the construction of economic zones, such 
      as Special Economic Zones, Hi-tech Zones and Bonded Zones, has played an 
      irreplaceable role in China's economic development. Currently, against the 
      background of Chinese economic transition, research on development evaluation of 
      economic zones has become popular and necessary. Similar research usually focuses 
      on one specific field, and the methods that are used to evaluate it are simple. 
      This research aims to analyse the development evaluation of zones by synthesis. A 
      new hybrid multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) model that combines the 
      DEMATEL technique and the DANP method is proposed. After establishing the 
      evaluation criterion system and acquiring data, the influential weights of 
      dimensions and criteria can be calculated, which will be a guide for forming 
      measures of development. Shandong Peninsula Blue Economic Zone is used in the 
      empirical case analysis. The results show that Transportation Conditions, 
      Industrial Structure and Business Climate are the main influencing criteria and 
      measures based on these criteria are proposed.
