Besides, when industrial cluster of commercial circles formed in local areas, not only do the functions of industrial cluster should have positive impacts, the functions of social network should also be indispensable factors. Using Anping commercial circle as a successful case, this study is here to discuss why Anping can be an international commercial after decades of development; even after it encountered financial tsunami, failed to receive financial subsidies and the constant replacements of shops and stores along the way. How Anping is able to function its sustain development factors? Is it by the functions of industrial clusters? Or are there any other factors? In this study, we use the theory of industrial cluster as the basic theory, and social network theory as the auxiliary theory, to explore whether social network relationship is a crucial factor to the sustainable development of industries or not; furthermore, we also use in-depth interviews to support the research, in order to reveal the real factor of the emergence of industry sustainment. Finally, this study discovers that although industrial cluster has contributed a lot, social network relationship is the key factor to the sustainable development of Anping; if there were no cooperation and mutual assistances between the residents, Anping could not have reach the achievement today.
