Abstract：Industrial transformation is a hot topic for resource-based cities. Based on the inputoutput table of Tangshan in 2002 and 2012, the whole structural increase of industries in Tangshan and their impact factors are analyzed by the increasing causative matrix and probit model. The results show that, there was not a structural increase in the sector of coal mining and processing and the sector of metal smelting and pressing from 2002 to 2012. Tangshan has been out of the development mode with the high dependency on coal and steel. Some sectors have experienced a structural increase characterized by the high technology, such as special equipment, instrumentation and cultural office machinery manufacturing, as well as information transmission software and information technology services. All of the indications illustrate that Tangshan has shown a trend of industrial transformation. As for the impact factors of industrial structural increase, it is found that the industrial influence coefficient has a negative effect, while the industrial sensitivity coefficient, GDP proportion of industrial value added, and industrial direct value added ratio have positive effects. Finally, it is helpful to improve the ratio of direct value added and linkages with downstream industries for the industrial transformation of the resource-based cities.
