clustered into three categories. The first category is
Harbin, the second category is Qiqihar, Jiamusi,
Daqing, Suihua, and the third category is Mudanjiang,
Yichun, Qitaihe, Jixi, Heihe, Shuangyashan and
Hegang. It can be seen that the results obtained by the
two clustering methods are consistent.
2.3 Factor Analysis Was Conducted
Base on SPSS Software
Factor analysis method in SPSS software was used to
process the data of fourteen indicators of urban
construction in twelve prefecture-level cities of
Heilongjiang Province in 2020, and the characteristic
value, contribution rate and cumulative contribution
rate of the principal factors were obtained. See Table
6:
Table 6: The main factor characteristic value, contribution
rate and cumulative contribution rate of economic
development level of twelve prefecture-level cities in
Heilongjiang Province (%).
Principal factor 1 2
Value of characteristic 10.733 1.543
Contribution rate 76.667 11.024
Cumulative contribution rate 76.667 87.691
It can be seen from Table 6 that the eigenvalue of
the variable correlation coefficient matrix is greater
than the two main factors of one (Tang, 2007), and
the cumulative contribution rate reaches 87.961%,
which together explains 87.961% of the total variance
of the original variable. Obviously, the information
represented by the two principal factors can fully
explain and provide the information expressed by the
original data, and only 12.039% of the information is
lost. Thus, the score of the two principal factors on
each original variable is obtained Y

(See Table
7),At the same time, to obtain a comprehensive index
that can reflect the economic development level of
prefecture-level cities(∑Y),Taking the contribution
of two main factors as the weight, the comprehensive
construction scores of twelve prefecture-level cities
in Heilongjiang Province are defined as follows:
∑Y=0.87429Y

Generally speaking, the higher the comprehensive
score, the better the regional economic development
level; If the score is greater than zero, it means that
the development level of this region is above the
provincial average development level; otherwise, it is
below the provincial average development level.
Therefore, it is necessary to actively adjust the
development ideas to promote the rapid and
coordinated development of regional construction
(Zhang, 2011).
From the comprehensive score, the economic
development level of Harbin is obviously above the
average level of provincial economic development
(∑Y>0); Qiqihar, Daqing, Suihua, Jiamusi close to
the province's average level of economic
development; Mudanjiang, Yichun, Qitaihe, Jixi,
Heihe, Shuangyashan and Hegang are significantly
lower than the average level of economic
development of the whole province.
