Abstract

Urbanization and ecological environment coordinated development is the development direction of contemporary urbanization. In this paper, the coupling degree model is used to analyze the coupling degree and coupling coordination degree of Guizhou, Yunnan, Hunan and Zhejiang Province in 2014. The analysis results showed that, four provinces are highly coupled in the coupling degree. Guizhou province is in the low degree of disorder and the lag of urbanization for the coupling coordination degree; Yunnan province is also in a low degree of disorder and urbanization hysteresis; Zhejiang province is in a good coordination, while its urbanization is slightly lagging behind; Hunan province is in a low degree of imbalance, and there is a coordinated development of urbanization and ecosystem. In this paper, the research results help four provinces above to better realize the coordinated development of urbanization and ecological environment.

Highlights

  • Urbanization refers to the historical transformation process from the primary industry-based agricultural society to the second and third industry-oriented modern urbanization of one country or region during the development of economy

  • Our country decided to take the road of sustainable development, which means, when we focus on the development of economy, we should pay attention to the protection of the ecological environment at the same time

  • Yunnan province is in the level of low coordination and urbanization hysteresis, and the urbanization level in Yunnan is much lower than the ecological environment subsystem

Summary

Introduction

Urbanization refers to the historical transformation process from the primary industry-based agricultural society to the second and third industry-oriented modern urbanization of one country or region during the development of economy. The urbanization rate in western China is 44.8%, while the urbanization rate in Guizhou is only 42%. The development of urbanization will inevitably bring about the destruction of ecological environment. Over the past few years, China has only focused on the develop of economy, while do not pay any attention to the protection of the ecological environment. Our country decided to take the road of sustainable development, which means, when we focus on the development of economy, we should pay attention to the protection of the ecological environment at the same time. The coupling model is used to analyze the relationship between urbanization and ecological environment in order to promote the coordinated development of urbanization and ecological environment
