With the accelerating urbanization process, the urbanization rate is increasing year by year. Taking Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan City Cluster as an example, the evaluation index system of new urbanization in Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan City Cluster is constructed from three dimensions: production space, living space and ecological space. The entropy method, mathematical statistics analysis and exploratory spatial data analysis are adopted, and the time from 2008 to 2020 is taken as the research time node. This paper analyzes the development level of new urbanization in Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan City Cluster from two aspects of time series dynamics and spatial pattern. Through data analysis, it is found that there is a high correlation between new urbanization and population urbanization rate in Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan City Cluster. The growth trend of “quality” and “number” of new urbanization is consistent, and the comprehensive level of new urbanization in Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan City Cluster is constantly improving. At the same time, there are some problems in the new urbanization of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan City Cluster, such as unreasonable industrial structure, backward public transport infrastructure, serious structural unemployment, serious air pollution and large gap between urban and rural areas. Finally, the paper puts forward relevant policy suggestions.

The objective of this study is to analyze the spatial cluster of crime cases in Peninsular Malaysia by using the exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA). In order to identify and measure the spatial autocorrelation (cluster), Moran’s I index were measured. Based on the cluster analyses, the hot spot of the violent crime occurrence was mapped. Maps were constructed by overlaying hot spot of violent crime rate for the year 2001, 2005 and 2009. As a result, the hypothesis of spatial randomness was rejected indicating cluster effect existed in the study area. The findings reveal that crime was distributed nonrandomly, suggestive of positive spatial autocorrelation. The findings of this study can be used by the goverment, policy makers or responsible agencies to take any related action in term of crime prevention, human resource allocation and law enforcemant in order to overcome this important issue in the future.
