Abstract: Since Jilin Province serves as the most convenient link between Liaoning and Heilongjiang Province, its enhancement of regional spatial linkage holds the prospects of Haerbin-Changchun urban agglomeration in China. The research aims to seek a sustainable urbanisation path by analysing the characters of interlink of Jilin Province with the help of GIS-based space syntax methodology, by using transit network data with higher resolution, broader coverage and finer representation. The results show that (1) the spatial accessibility among Dunhua, Fusong and Hunchun cities should be prioritised to narrow down the spatial inequality among leading cities. (2) The regional connectivity of Shuangliao-Ji'an belt should be given more attention compared to other belts. (3) As the topological forms and national boundaries have direct influence upon city clusters, the southern cluster strengthens its outward connection with Liaoning Province, while the eastern one should include Antu-Yanji, Tumen and Antu cities to enhance its inward connection with cities along north-south direction.

Keywords: big data; regional spatial linkage; GIS-based space syntax method; urbanisation development.
