Abstract：In this article, the theory of niche is applied to the location choice of industrial development in coastal zones, a concept of industry cluster niche and three assumptions are proposed:1) every county in coastal zone is the spatial vector of industrial cluster; 2) the areas with high niche are the destination of location choice for industry; 3) the long-term development of industry cluster is mainly determined by resource constraints. We outline two characteristics of industrialy cluster niche:multidimensional and dynamic. The article constructs index system and evaluation model, and finally gives an empirical analysis on Guangdong province. Through suitability evaluation, the areas with high degree (Ⅱlevel) of suitability are mainly distributed in western Guangdong coastal areas, the lowers (Ⅳ level) are mainly in the Pearl River Delta region, the rest is in the middle level (Ⅲ level). On the basis of suitability evaluation and dominance evaluation, the article makes a comprehensive evaluation, and the results show that apart from Mazhang in Zhanjiang City, the areas with Ⅲ level (middle) are in the Pearl River Delta region, and ultimately note the development conditions of industry in the Pearl River Delta are superior to other regions. Overall, in the current conditions of the natural environment and socio-economic conditions, Mazhang in western Guangdong and the Pearl River Delta Area are in relatively mature time of developing industry. Finally, in order to classify the results of the evaluation, we conduct a cluster analysis, and find out that all types including weak type of dominance as well as general type of dominance and strong type of dominance, have a common characteristics that the values of B1 (suitability of resources) are very low, indicating that the coastal region of Guangdong is lack of resources, particularly land and water resources, which will be an important reason to restrict large-scale development in future.
