Balanced regional development affects high-quality and sustainable development. Previous studies have shown that regional talent allocation, technology business incubators, industrial ecology, cross-regional cooperation, and balanced investment in higher education have positive effects on sustained regional development. Therefore, discussing more influencing factors that promote regionally balanced development is necessary. As far as China is concerned, with the spread of the migrant population to the central and western regions, it is of certain significance to explore the factors affecting the development of the western region from the perspective of migrant entrepreneurs' flow. Urban public services, as an important way for the government to attract talent, directly affect the residence intentions of migrant entrepreneurs in the future. This paper uses the matching data of the 2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey and 289 prefecture-level city data from the China City Statistical Yearbook to study the impact of urban public services in the western region on the residence intention of migrant entrepreneurs and further examines the heterogeneous impact of urban public services in the western region on the residence intention of migrant entrepreneurs. We find that urban public services in the western region significantly affect the residence intention of migrant entrepreneurs; that is, the higher the level of urban public services, the stronger the residence intention of migrant entrepreneurs. According to the heterogeneity analysis of household registration differences, generational differences, family structure differences, employment identity differences, and industry and flow range differences, this paper finds that public services have a positive impact on the residence intention of non-urban migrant entrepreneurs, the older generation of migrant entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs with small family structures, migrant entrepreneurs in low-tech industries, self-employed entrepreneurs, cross-province migration, and intra-province migrant entrepreneurs. Further analysis indicates that the level of education, culture, medical care, and transportation services in cities significantly enhances the permanent residence intentions of migrant entrepreneurs. The research conclusion not only provides reference and inspiration for China to achieve common prosperity through entrepreneurship and poverty reduction practices, but it can also, to some extent, alleviate population aggregation in large cities and promote the formation of a scientific and reasonable urbanization pattern. In addition, this paper explores the attractiveness of public services to migrant entrepreneurs in the western region of China from the perspective of entrepreneurs' mobility and complements the relevant research on promoting regional balanced development.

The proper management of urban public services (UPS) ensures that a territory functions efficiently, since it guarantees optimal waste disposal, water supply, and the maintenance of communication infrastructure, among other things. In areas of high urban density located close to metropolitan cities, UPS are usually provided properly and efficiently. However, in less populated territories, lying in the periphery, significant problems and deficiencies are often encountered, being most evident in rural areas located on the administrative limits of a state or region. This paper seeks to analyze the management of UPS in the internal border area between two Spanish regions, Aragon and Catalonia. A total of 72 stakeholders (mayors and town clerks) from 49 river municipalities were involved in this study that employs a quantitative methodology (questionnaire). The perception that there are deficiencies to correct and a clear will to reach agreements and establish cooperation mechanisms is detected in many of the municipalities in the border area. A clear need to cooperate is also apparent in a series of priority UPS, including the promotion of river tourism, town access roads, urban collective passenger transport, and environmental protection.

After the Industrial Revolution, the systems of(rural and urban) human settlements have been greatly affected by socio- economic developments, especially by technological advances. This has brought about an increasing in the ratio of urban population to rural and has posed in an unbridled and unplanned atmosphere, to some extent, due to massive and unplanned emigration of rural people, not only all manner of problems for the urban management to provide public services but has also changed in an age of globalization, an effective and efficient management into a passive and circumstantial one. According to rcent studies ,the newly –founded city, Zahedan has had a rate of population growth of more than 3% in the last fifty years, and its population has increased from 17495 people in 1956 to 567449 in 2006. This has created an imbalance in the rate of the provision of public services, and has called condition and social justice, as well urban stability, into question. An optimal method for the provision of public services is to divide a city as a system into different zones, then provide each zone with urban services proportional to its population characteristics.The purpose of this paper is to study the nature of the population of Zahedan urban zones and the nature of its relation to urban services. The method used in this study is descriptive-analytic, and Willamson Model and the Entropy Index have been used to analyze the data. The results of the study indicate that only through a mechanism of equal distribution of services, proportional to the population needs, can achieve a balance in Zahedan

Current digital technologies and particularly the association of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) with Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDSS) have been able to generate important possibilities in the spatial treatment of information. This article discusses the advances made with respect to Location-Allocation models in the study field known as Geography of Services. It presents theoretical aspects of the analyzed problem, standardized methodological matters for its resolution with GIS+SDSS, and an application case related to the locational analysis of primary care service centers (PCSC) in the city of Luján, Argentina.

The issue of equity hi the delivery of public services is complicated both by conceptual conflicts and competing methodologies. In spite of the considerable interest in, and practical and theoretical importance of, public service equity assessment, relatively few studies have evaluated the geographic distribution of subsidies, especially at the metropolitan level where the central city-suburb distinction dominates. This study clarifies a number of conceptual and methodological questions related to public service equity by analyzing the geographic flow of fiscal subsidies for mass transit operations using King County (Seattle), WA as a case study. The analysis focuses on three issues. First, cross- subsidies (subsidies between users) are considered for users defined by their social groups and residential locations. Second, the distribution of non-farebox (tax) revenues is determined for income groups and geographic areas. Third, the total net subsidy, considering costs, fares, and non-farebox revenues, is determined for individual census tracts, using a method that assumes that tax revenues generated in an area are allocated first to transit riders whose homes are in that area. Flows of subsidy between the central city and suburbs are also established. Results indicate that user subsidies are much higher in suburban areas but that nonrider tax revenues in suburbs produce a net flow of subsidy from suburbs to the center city. Relative to average income values, the tax burden supporting mass transit is higher for residents in the central city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
