Spatiotemporal patterns and influencing factors of coupling coordination development of ecosystem services and urbanization: a case of western border counties in China
Luyao Liu, Yungui Shi, Qun Meng
TL;DR
This study examines how ecosystem services and urbanization interact in China's western border counties, identifying factors that hinder or support their balanced development.
Contribution
The study introduces a novel analysis of spatiotemporal coupling coordination between ecosystem services and urbanization in underdeveloped border regions.
Findings
From 2000 to 2020, ESV declined while urbanization increased unevenly in western border counties.
Most counties showed mild to severe imbalance in the coupling coordination of ESV and urbanization.
Social security, industrial structure, and ecological regulation are key obstacles, while climate and productivity drive coordination.
Abstract
The spatial distribution of border regions highly overlaps with key ecological function zones and economically underdeveloped areas, making the coordination between urbanization and ecosystem service value (ESV) crucial. Taking China's western border counties as a case study, this study explores the spatiotemporal variation characteristics of ESV, urbanization levels, and their coupling coordination relationship. By applying the Obstacle Degree Model and the geodetector analysis, we identify the factors that obstruct and drive the coordinated development of the ESV-urbanization coupling system from both internal and external perspectives. (1) From 2000 to 2020, ESV in China's western border counties declined gradually, while the urbanization increased with significant spatial imbalances in development. (2) In most border counties, the coupling coordination degree (CCD) of ESV and…
