Abstract
The process by which the resource environment interacts with the socioeconomic environment is one complex system composed of society, economy, resource and environment. In this process, the resource environment-socioeconomic environment system, as a whole, is a grey system. Based on the analysis of the developmental changes in a specific small town resource environment, and the relationship between the resource environment and the socioeconomic environment, this paper formulates a model of coordinative development within the grey system theory. Taking the Hengdian town-a national sustainable development experimental unit in the Zhejiang province of China as an example, the study concludes that the resource environment and the socioeconomic environment in the Hengdian town showed a trend towards coordinative development between the years 2000 and 2006. This conclusion accords with the actual development status of the Hengdian town, thereby demonstrating the validity of the model.
