According to the lack of spatial variability analysis of population urbanization under the driving force,an evaluation index system was established in this paper.Based on the socio-economic and environment data,this evaluation index system includes four types of driving forces:economy,society,environment and land,which are using cities as basic units.Combining with ESDA and GWR methods,spatial patterns,driving factors and the spatial heterogeneity of population urbanization quantitatively were analyzed.The results indicated that the differences between cities' population urbanization were significant,the spatial agglomeration was very obvious and a spatial patterns were discovered,which were concentrated layers,East-West dichotomy,center linkage,evident gradient.Meanwhile,the results presented significant spatial heterogeneity of the effect of driving factors,and environment and economic factors were the main driving factors for the urbanization development of the Yangtze River economic belt.Moreover,the impact's degree and trends of the driving factors could objectively reflect the spatial impacts of economic,social,environment and land development on urbanization.
