The upgrading of port function produces a profound and lasting effect on the progress of a port city's spatial structure. To analyze the port city spatial structure evolution mechanism, this paper addresses the process of urban spatial structure evolution under the influence of port function upgrading. Dalian is the study object, and the study uses the technology of remote sensing analysis and geographic information systems to extract geographic information about urban land utilization, combined with the theory of fractal and spatial gravity center, and thus analyzes the law of port city spatial evolution. On the foundation of the law proposed, the port city spatial structure evolution mechanism model is established with overall consideration of both mechanism factors from industry and society implicated during the port function upgrading process. Results show that the mechanism study could reveal internal agents of port city spatial structure evolution and provide theoretical basis and decision-making support for the improvement of the port city spatial structure evolution's rationality, so as to achieve port cities' sustainable development.
