Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to measure the high-quality development level of China's marine economy and analyze corresponding spatial and temporal distribution characteristic.Design/methodology/approachDesign and optimize the index system of high-quality development level of marine economy and use entropy and TOPSIS method for comprehensive evaluation.FindingsThe research finds that from 2017 to 2019, the high-quality development tendency of China's marine economy is on the rise, but the overall level is still low. The level of each subsystem has different distribution characteristics in different provinces and cities. Guangdong, Shandong and Shanghai have a high comprehensive level. According to the comprehensive level of high-quality development of marine economy, 11 coastal provinces are divided into three types: leading, general and backward.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper clarifies the temporal and spatial distribution law of high-quality development level of China's marine economy, providing basis for promoting comprehensive and coordinated improvement of coastal provinces and cities.Originality/valueAn indicator system for the high-quality development level of the marine economy has been established, including social development guarantee, marine economic foundation, marine science and technology drive and green marine sustainability.
Highlights
General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out that “the ocean is a strategic place for highquality development”
The contribution rate of marine economy to the growth of the national economy is as high as 6.53%
In 2012, the added value of the marine tertiary industry surpassed that of the marine secondary industry for the first time, and the marine industrial structure realized an important transformation from “second, third and first” to “third, second and first”
Summary
General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out that “the ocean is a strategic place for highquality development”. High-quality development of the marine economy means that while achieving a certain “quantitative” growth, the marine economy constantly improves the comprehensive development level of the marine economy, continues to optimize the marine industry structure, rationally improves marine social welfare distribution, speeds up the balance state of marine ecological environment, steps up efforts to popularize marine culture in a step-by-step manner and effectively enhances the capacity of marine science and technology innovation drive.
