Construction of recycling and sustainable developing economy is the inevitable method to enhance the global competitiveness of the urban agglomeration.In this article,with reference to mass existing system of evaluation on urban recycling economy, the authors established a new evaluating system,which focuses on the social economy development,resource reducing，recycling and quality of environment in 18 representative indices.Under this system,after adopting the data of China Urban Statistics Yearbook(2006),applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to measure the weight of each index,the authors concluded a comprehensive index of comprehensive indices of recycling economy of urban agglomeration in the Yangtze River Delta.Then,the spatial structure of recycling economy and influential factors was deeply analyzed.The result of the research suggests that: ①The difference of recycling economic level among various cities is remarkable;②The recycling economical level appears to be a trend of gradually diminishing from the center to the periphery; ③Along with the per capita gross area product rising,the recycling economic level assumes irregular “W” mode.The significant influencing factors are the recycling economy's policy,the industrial structure,the level of economical development and the township enterprise's scale and amount.Finally,some strategic suggestions on the development of recycling economy of Urban Agglomeration in the Yangtze River Delta have been put forword.
