Abstract

This paper selected 25 evaluation indexes from the three aspects of marine ecological economy, marine ecological environment and marine ecological society to construct an evaluation index system of the construction of coastal marine ecological civilization, using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and entropy value method to determine evaluation index weights, and measured the construction level of marine ecological civilization in Shandong Province during the period of 2006-2016. The results showed that the construction level of marine ecological civilization in Shandong Province during 2006-2016 as a whole is on the rise. In terms of the increase of the scores of each subsystem, the development of marine ecological society increased the most, followed by the development of marine ecological economy, while the development of marine ecological environment was relatively slow. This paper also analyzed the coordinated development level of the paired subsystems such as the marine ecological economy plus marine ecological environment, marine ecological society plus marine ecological environment and marine ecological economy plus marine ecological society in Shandong Province during the period of 2006-2016 by using the coupling coordination analysis model. The results showed that the level of coordinated development between the three pairs of subsystems has basically gone through the development process from low coordination to moderate coordination, and finally to high coordination.

Highlights

The ocean is rich in energy and abundant in resources, and the marine economy has increasingly become a focus of economic competition among various countries and regions

Summary

Introduction

The ocean is rich in energy and abundant in resources, and the marine economy has increasingly become a focus of economic competition among various countries and regions. Along with the vigorous development of the marine economy, the balance between marine development and marine environmental protection is gradually losing Ecological environment problems such as the sharp decline of marine biodiversity, marine environmental pollution and frequent marine disasters are becoming more and more frequent in recent years. Qin Weishan et al (2016) constructed a level measurement index system for the construction of marine ecological civilization cities around the Bohai Sea from the six aspects of marine ecology, marine resources, marine environment, marine economy, marine culture and marine system. Sun Jianfeng et al (2018) selected 29 specific indexes from the five aspects of marine resource endowment, marine ecological environment, marine economic development, marine culture construction and marine system management, and established an evaluation index system for marine ecological civilization in coastal cities. Research conclusions in the fourth part of the article explore the coordination level of the “economy-environment-society” development in the construction of regional marine ecological civilization
