Abstract
With the rapid development of economy, the scale of the logistics industry is also expanding rapidly, which brings great convenience to economy and trade, and becomes one of the pillar industries of national economy. However, with the development of economy and logistics, the problem of ecological environment is becoming more and more prominent. Through the design of economic development, logistics development, and the ecological environment index system, the economic development, logistics development and eco-environment development level of 30 provinces and cities in China from 2008 to 2017 are analyzed by using the entropy method and coupling coordination degree model, and the spatial characteristics of regional economic development, logistics development, and ecological environment are analyzed by using ArcGIS software. The results show that the coupling coordination of economic development, logistics development and ecological environment in most provinces and cities in China is at the mediate coupling level, and only Shanghai, Anhui, and Fujian in the Eastern region have reached the high-quality coupling level; there are significant temporal and spatial differences in the coupling and coordinated development between economic development, logistics development and ecological environment. The level of coupling coordination in the western region has always been at a low level, while the level of coupling coordination in most of the central and eastern regions is relatively high. There are situations where the level of coupling coordination is not high; the coordinated growth of economic development, logistics development, and ecological environment is mainly driven by economic development and logistics development. However, the level of ecological environment has been lagging behind the level of economic and logistics development. In the future development, it is necessary to give full play to the role of the logistics industry in economic development, weigh the relationship between the development of the logistics industry and ecological environmental protection, actively develop green logistics, and the level of coordinated development among economic development, logistics development and ecological environment.
Highlights
China’s GDP reached 82.08 trillion Yuan in 2017, accounting for about 15% of the world economy, ranking second in the world
Wang, and Zhou [20] and others use the coupling coordination model confirms that with the improvement of economic development level, urbanization has a synergistic effect on the ecological environment, and the ecological environment has a restrictive effect on urbanization
Through the analysis of the coordination degree of the economic development, the logistics development and the ecological environment of the four economic regions in China, it is possible to find the possible causes of the insufficient coordination, and to promote the coordinated development among the three, promoting the high-quality development of the economy
Summary
China’s GDP reached 82.08 trillion Yuan in 2017, accounting for about 15% of the world economy, ranking second in the world. The logistics industry in China is developing well, there are still some problems in the process of its development, mainly reflected in the pollution of ecological environment [2,3,4,5]. Compared with other countries and regions, the problems between China’s economic development, logistics development and ecological environment are more significant, and the synergy between the three is more important. There are few researches on the relationship among economic development, logistics development and ecological environment from the perspective of coupling coordination. This paper mainly focuses on the coupling coordination relationship among economic development, logistics development and ecological environment. The last part of this paper puts forward the research conclusions and suggestions, and illustrates the shortcomings of this study and the future development direction
