China's Development Policies for Surveying Service Industries: From the Perspective of Textual and Quantitative Analysis

Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] The purpose of this study is to analyze topographic mapping industry's policies of seven main areas of China and to recognize the development obstacles. [Method/Process] Methods of textual analysis were employed to quantify and study the policies from seven dimensions such as attention to the whole industry, basic infrastructure and industry supervision. [Results/Conclusions] Based on the analysis of keywords, we draw the conclusion: 1) the policy attention and policy effect differ greatly because of resource distribution, economic foundation, technologies and talented people; 2) The eastern areas take a significant advantage over the western areas in both policy attention and policy effect. Based on the findings, a set of strategic suggestions are proposed for the government: management system, market system, basic infrastructure, human resources training, and achievements management for the industry's healthy development.
