Abstract
With the world calling for environmental protection, China has to follow an innovation-driven development path in order to achieve its own high-quality and sustainable development. During this period, the problem of inefficient land use resulting from rapid progress in urbanisation is difficult to ignore. This study uses data from 30 provinces in mainland China to analyse the environmental protection effects of land use transition towards innovation-driven development, using spatial econometric models and entropy method. The results show that the innovation-oriented land use transition in four dimensions, human capital, material capital, urban function and government, is conducive to reducing industrial pollution emissions in the region, but this effect does not have a spillover effect. The results of this study provide some insights into the “triple-win” (environmental protection, innovation and land-use optimisation) approach to economic development in China.
Highlights
It seems that human development has inevitably led to environmental pollution. ”London Fog”, “greenhouse effect”, “nuclear leak” and other words related to pollution are familiar
Too many variables will likely lead to multicollinearity problems, and in this study, we will develop a multidimensional, innovation agglomeration-based indicator system that can facilitate land use transition
This paper analyses the relationship between innovation agglomeration, land use transition and industrial pollution, and subtly investigates the question of whether innovationoriented land use transition can reduce industrial pollution emissions
Summary
It seems that human development has inevitably led to environmental pollution. ”London Fog”, “greenhouse effect”, “nuclear leak” and other words related to pollution are familiar. It seems that human development has inevitably led to environmental pollution. Many studies have found that the harm of environmental pollution to human is unexpected and its impact is far-reaching. More and more social organizations and individuals are calling for environmental protection. The Rio Declaration provides the basis for the world’s environmental protection. Industrial pollution, as the largest proportion of a kind of pollution, has a wide range of impacts [6] and can be deadly [7], making it difficult to be ignored. Scholars have shifted their research to innovation and environmental protection [19,20,21]; there is little studies on the role of land use transition in environmental protection
