摘要 The inter-city linkage heat data provided by Baidu Migration is employed as a characterization
of inter-city linkages in order to facilitate the study of the network linkage characteristics and hierarchical
structure of urban agglomeration in the Greater Bay Area through the use of social network analysis
method. This is the inaugural application of big data based on location services in the study of urban
agglomeration network structure, which represents a novel research perspective on this topic. The study
reveals that the density of network linkages in the Greater Bay Area urban agglomeration has reached
100%, indicating a mature network-like spatial structure. This structure has given rise to three distinct
communities: Shenzhen-Dongguan-Huizhou, Guangzhou-Foshan-Zhaoqing, and Zhuhai-Zhongshan-
Jiangmen. Additionally, cities within the Greater Bay Area urban agglomeration play different roles,
suggesting that varying development strategies may be necessary to achieve staggered development. The
study demonstrates that large datasets represented by LBS can offer novel insights and methodologies for
the examination of urban agglomeration network structures, contingent on the appropriate mining and
processing of the data.
