Abstract Based on the characteristics of Multi-polar network spatial organization, this paper constructs a multi-polar network spatial organization identification method from the aspects of the development of spatial economic network, the coexistence of multiple growth poles, and the symbiotic relationship between growth poles and spatial economic network. In addition to using the existing spatial economic network and growth pole analysis methods for reference, this paper establishes a measure index which can comprehensively reflect the economic attribute and relation attribute of the growth pole, and selects the alternative growth poles according to the Rank-Size Rule so as to construct a multi-growth pole coexistence identification method. And by introducing the symbiotic thought and theory of ecology, this paper analyzes the symbiotic relationship between multi-growth poles and spatial economic network for the first time. The paper also use this method to reveal the phenomenon of multi-polar network spatial organization in Guangdong province. First, the scale and connectivity of Guangdong spatial economic network continue to increase, and the network density shows a trend of first decline and then rise, but the overall development level is far from the ideal state, and it is spatially concentrated in the Pearl River Delta. Second, a pattern of coexistence of Shenzhen and Guangzhou growth pole has been formed, and Foshan and Dongguan have the potential to develop into growth poles. Third, there is an asymmetric and mutually beneficial symbiosis relationship between the growth pole and the spatial economic network. All these show that the method of establishing Multi-polar network spatial organization identification is effective and can be used as a reference for similar research.
