Abstract

Urbanization and resources-environment are two subsystems in the socio-economic development system which interact and affect each other, so it has become an urgent need to coordinate them and identify the coupling laws between them. This paper took Hubei Province as an example, built comprehensive evaluation index systems for the urbanization and resource-environment. Then, utilized the AHP (analytic hierarchy process) to calculate the weights of indexes, and estimated the comprehensive index of urbanization and resources-environment of Hubei Province during 1996-2010. The coupling degree model and coupling coordination degree model were used to calculate the coupling degree and coupling coordination degree of the comprehensive index of urbanization, resources-environment of Hubei Province during 1996-2010. Further analyzed the coupling relationship and coordination extent of these two subsystems, analyzed the timing characteristics and reasons of its coupling coordination, discussed the regularity of the mutual influence and interactions between urbanization and resources-environment in Hubei province. This will provide a theoretical reference for the urban development and management, sustainable development of resources-environment, construction of “two-oriented” society in Hubei Province.
