Abstract

The issue of environmental injustice has received critical attention in sustainable development. Whereas, there is still a lack of research on exploring the complexity of environmental injustice related to the spatial mismatch of ecosystem services (ES) supply–demand. Hence, we firstly built a framework consisting of 10 types of ES supply and 3 types of ES demand to evaluate the ES supply–demand ratio (ESDR) at county scale in three mega cities in China. Then we adopted spatial autocorrelation analysis and MGWR model to explore the spatial heterogeneity and driving mechanisms of the environmental injustice on ESDR. Results showed that most counties in mega cities were suffering from ES shortages clustered in the city centers. Natural and socio-economic factors including temperature, precipitation, NDVI, housing price and vulnerable group were significantly correlated with the spatial heterogeneity of ESDR. Finally, we discuss the possible intervention policies for discision-makers to mitigate server environmental injustice caused by the spatial imbalance of ESDR.

评估中国特大城市生态系统服务空间错配导致环境不公的驱动因素

环境不公正问题在可持续发展中受到了极大关注。然而，对于生态系统服务（ES）供需空间错配所导致的环境不公平的复杂性，目前仍缺乏相关研究。因此，我们首先构建了一个由 10 种生态系统服务供给和 3 种生态系统服务需求组成的框架，以评估中国三个特大城市县域尺度的生态系统服务供需比（ESDR）。然后，采用空间自相关分析和MGWR模型，探讨环境不公平对ESDR的空间异质性和驱动机制。结果表明，大多数特大城市的县域都集中在城市中心地带，遭受着ES短缺的困扰。包括气温、降水、NDVI、房价和弱势群体在内的自然和社会经济因素与 ESDR 的空间异质性显著相关。最后，我们讨论了决策者可能采取的干预政策，以缓解 ESDR 空间失衡造成的服务器环境不公正。

期刊介绍： Urban Ecosystems is an international journal devoted to scientific investigations of urban environments and the relationships between socioeconomic and ecological structures and processes in urban environments. The scope of the journal is broad, including interactions between urban ecosystems and associated suburban and rural environments. Contributions may span a range of specific subject areas as they may apply to urban environments: biodiversity, biogeochemistry, conservation biology, wildlife and fisheries management, ecosystem ecology, ecosystem services, environmental chemistry, hydrology, landscape architecture, meteorology and climate, policy, population biology, social and human ecology, soil science, and urban planning.
