Synergistic development study of urban-rural integration and ecosystem resilience

Abstract

: In order to analyze the status of the synergistic high-quality development of urban-rural integration and ecological environment in China, the variability of regional coordination levels and the influencing factors, this paper selected panel data of 30 Chinese provinces from 2004-2020 and measured the development levels of urban-rural integration and ecological environment separately using the entropy value method. On this basis, the Dagum Gini coefficient decomposition was used to investigate the regional differences and influencing factors of coordinated development of urban-rural integration and ecological environment in China in depth. It is found that: (1) The overall trend of urban-rural integration and ecosystem resilience level is on the rise, but there are obvious divergent characteristics. (2) The coordinated development level of urban-rural integration and ecosystem resilience is lower in western and northeastern China. (3) At the national level, the relative difference in the coordination level between urban-rural integration and ecosystem resilience is gradually decreasing, but the gap between regions is increasing. Regional differences are still the reason for the difference in the coordination development level. Therefore, the government should increase the implementation of urban-rural integration and green development strategies, increase the implementation of coordinated regional development strategies.
