Abstract
Based on the panel data of 41 cities in the Yangtze River Delta region from 2006–2018, this paper constructed an index system of measuring green urban land use efficiency (green land use efficiency), including input-expected output-unexpected output (input-expected output-unexpected output) and used the unexpected output-SBM model to calculate the green land use efficiency of the region. The spatial and temporal evolution characteristics of urban land green use efficiency in this area were studied by the Dagum Gini coefficient, decomposition, and exploratory spatial data analysis. The results show that (1) the temporal evolution characteristics of green land use efficiency in the whole region of the Yangtze River Delta, provinces (municipalities directly under the central government), and cities all show an upward trend of fluctuation. Among them, the green land use efficiency of the whole region is between 0.258 and 0.377, the gap in the green land use efficiency of the provinces (municipalities directly under the central government) is accelerating, and the green land use efficiency of the cities is gradually advancing to the middle and high efficiency areas. (2) Spatial evolution: On the one hand, the spatial difference in the green use efficiency of urban land in this region is gradually expanding. On the other hand, the green use efficiency of urban land in this region has a significant positive spatial correlation, the agglomeration pattern is dominated by high agglomeration and low agglomeration, and the low high agglomeration is supplemented.
Highlights
China’s economy is in the transition period from “high-speed” development to “highquality” development
The so-called green development refers to sustainable development in line with the requirements of ecological protection and environmental friendliness
As one of the most important means of production, land is the material basis of all economic and social elements and the space carrier of economic and social development. It should play an important role in green development
Summary
China’s economy is in the transition period from “high-speed” development to “highquality” development. As one of the most important means of production, land is the material basis of all economic and social elements and the space carrier of economic and social development It should play an important role in green development. This requires the implementation of the concept of harmonious coexistence and sustainable development between man and nature in the process of land use and the realization of the unity of economic and ecological benefits of land use. This process is defined as green land use [1]. It is facing the dilemma of total shortage, disordered utilization planning, high pollution, and low efficiency, which have become the shackles of the comprehensive green transformation of economic society
