Abstract
The contradiction between industrial development (ID) and land resource carrying capacity (LRCC) is increasingly intensified with the rapid advancement of urbanization globally. This typical phenomenon exists particularly in these developing countries or regions. This study investigated the matching degree (MD) between ID and LRCC by using a coupling coordination degree model (CCDM) with referring to the main cities of Xinjiang, China. The data used in this study was collected from 16 sample cities in Xinjiang for the period of 2009–2018. The research findings reveal that (1) MD average value between 16 sample cities has been gaining steady growth; (2) although MD value in all sample cities has been increasing, there still exists a big room for improvement towards a well matching state; (3) the differences in MD values among all sample cities are very small; (4) the MD performance in the northern cities in Xinjiang is better than that in southern Xinjiang. This is mainly because of the radiation effect of Urumqi in northern cities. It is therefore suggested developing such a radiation city in southern Xinjiang in order to improve MD performance in southern Xinjiang. These research findings can provide policymakers in Xinjiang and other backward cities globally with valuable references in understanding the status of MD between ID and LRCC in the local cities, thus tailor-made policy instruments can be designated for the mission of sustainable development.
Highlights
“quantity support” and “structural support”, that is, the amount of land is the cornerstone of industrial development (ID), and the change of land use structure will lead to the corresponding adjustment of industrial structure [4]
By applying the research data specified in the previous section to Equations (1)–(5) in the evaluation method part, the performance values of ID and land resource carrying capacity (LRCC) of 16 case cities can be obtained, as shown in Tables 7 and 8, respectively
Altay and Yining experienced a decline in ID performance, and Karamay, Changji, Yining, Kuytun, Bole, and Hetian experienced a decline in LRCC performance
Summary
Land is regarded as the most basic factor of production for supporting industrial development (ID) [1,2,3]. In the process of urbanization, the rapid development of industries and the explosive growth of population has caused excessive consumption of land resources, resulting in serious resource constraints and environmental pollution problems, such as the sharp reduction of arable land, soil pollution, traffic congestion, and so on. These problems limit the economic development of a city and hinder the process of sustainable development of a city
