Analysis of Coupling Coordination Degree between Permanent Population and Per Capita Disposable Income in Guangzhou Based on GIS

Abstract

Regarding the economic development of the region, the per capita disposable income is closely related to the number of residents. A method of coupling coordination degree with ArcGIS analysis is used in this article for analyzing the degree of match between per capita disposable income and resident population in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China, between 2016 and 2020, using the method of coupling coordination degree and combining ArcGIS analysis. Based on the results, it appears that the majority of the residents of Guangzhou reside in Panyu District, Baiyun District, and Tianhe District, while Nansha District and Conghua District have relatively small populations. Despite the relatively high population income in Tianhe and Yuexiu Districts, Yuexiu Districts have significantly lower coupling coordinations between the per capita disposable income and the permanent population than Tianhe Districts, and Baiyun Districts and Panyu Districts have relatively high coupling coordination degrees. The results show that Panyu District and Baiyun District, which are located at the peripheries of the city center, are becoming the preferred areas for high-income residents. These processes are mutually causal.
