[ABSTRACT]The resource-based cities are the cities which are driven by the exploitation of mineral, forests and other natural resources, and the leading industry is based on the processing of those resources. The resource-based cities have been providing a lot of energy for the development of China, but around 2000, the economic depression of resource-based cities began to arouse people's attention. Regarding to restore resource-based cities to growth, after the implementation of a series of related stimulus plans in past decade, finally, Chinese government enacted the Sustainable development plan of resource-based cities in 2013. According to my research, there is a similar experience in Japan. Given that the transformation of industrial structure and energy structure in 1960s, the coal mining areas in Japan entered the period of economic stagnation. And then, Japanese government passed Act on Temporary Measures concerning the Vitalization of the coal mining areas in 1961. Based on the policy, a series of economic revitalization policies was in force. Now, the transformation of economic structure in some coal mining areas has succeeded. In this paper, the differences of economic revitalization policy between China and Japan will be compared from the spatial viewpoint. Based on comparative study, the importance of spatial viewpoint applied in regional economic policy making will be reconsidered, and the problems of policies in China will also be concluded. As a case study, the development of automobile industry in North Kyushu will be provided.
