Then, grey incidence degree method is used to determine the decision-making power of each decision-making objective. Finally, multi-attribute weighted intelligent grey target decision-making evaluation model is used to measure the comprehensive effect of the objective system of leading industries in Kashgar urban agglomerations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>It can be seen that the multi-attribute weighted intelligent grey target decision-making evaluation model is more convenient to be used in selecting regional leading industries, and the results are accurate and feasible. Based on the calculation results and the actual economic development requirements of Kashgar urban agglomeration, the leading industries of Kashgar urban agglomeration can be determined as: wood processing, furniture, paper making and printing; wholesale and retail; construction; equipment manufacturing; transportation, storage and postal services.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>First, it is a new method in selecting regional leading industry by using the multi-attribute weighted intelligent grey target decision-making evaluation model. Second, since there is relatively little research on Kashgar urban agglomeration, especially on leading industries in Kashgar urban agglomeration. The research in this paper can not only enrich the research on selecting leading industries in urban agglomeration but also provide scientific reference for relevant government agencies to formulate economic development plans.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/gs-11-2019-0050","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,19]],"date-time":"2020-09-19T08:02:53Z","timestamp":1600502573000},"page":"418-433","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Research on the regional leading industry selection of \u201cKashgar urban agglomerations\u201d based on multi-attribute weighted intelligent grey target decision-making evaluation model"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5226-5068","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiao","family":"Bai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Sifeng","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,18]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"key2021061713555556000_ref001","first-page":"211","article-title":"A study on the selection of leading categories in manufacturing industry","volume":"20","year":"2004","journal-title":"Journal of the Architectural Institute of Korea Planning and Design"},{"issue":"6","key":"key2021061713555556000_ref002","first-page":"251","article-title":"Method of multi - level decision - making on governance of water bloom based on entropy and gray correlation degree","volume":"31","year":"2014","journal-title":"Computer Simulation"},{"issue":"34","key":"key2021061713555556000_ref003","first-page":"1","article-title":"Study on industry selection of comparative advantages of towns in kashgar urban agglomeration under the background of Silk Road economic belt","year":"2019","journal-title":"Global Market"},{"issue":"8","key":"key2021061713555556000_ref004","first-page":"67","article-title":"Research on the geographical location and industrial development of kashgar urban agglomeration based on the Silk Road economic belt","year":"2019","journal-title":"Economic and Trade Practice"},{"issue":"5","key":"key2021061713555556000_ref005","first-page":"1","article-title":"Research on fixed assets investment and industrial development in Kashgar region under the background of Silk Road economic belt","year":"2019","journal-title":"Global Market"},{"key":"key2021061713555556000_ref006","first-page":"253","article-title":"Measurement and analysis of industrial structure order in kashgar city circle based on order model of industrial structure","year":"2020"},{"key":"key2021061713555556000_ref007","first-page":"228","article-title":"Measurement and analysis of industrial isomorphism of kashgar urban agglomeration based on degree of grey incidence model","year":"2020"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2021061713555556000_ref008","first-page":"110","article-title":"Research on countermeasures for industrial transformation and development of \u2018kashgar urban agglomeration\u2019 based on Silk Road economic belt background","year":"2020","journal-title":"Consumption Guide"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2021061713555556000_ref009","first-page":"122","article-title":"Zhou cheng.
