In the new stage of development where the "dual carbon" strategy and the goal of common prosperity are being advanced in parallel, China's new-type urbanization and rural revitalization strategies are undergoing a paradigm shift from geographic spatial expansion to a multidimensional integration of ecological, social, and economic systems. This study focuses on the key ecological barrier regions of the Yellow River Basin, taking Henan Province located at the core of the Central Plains Economic Zone as a case study. Based on complex system theory, a three-dimensional evaluation system is constructed. Using the Coupling Coordination Degree Model, Kernel Density Estimation, and Spatial Markov Chain Analysis, the coupling coordination degree between new-type urbanization, rural revitalization, and the ecological environment system from 2011 to 2022 is calculated and analyzed. The study explores the evolution characteristics of coupling coordination development from a spatial-temporal perspective. The results indicate that: (1) The coupling coordination level in Henan Province has shown a stable development trend over time. The coupling coordination degree of cities has gradually improved from a near-disequilibrium state to a primary coordination state. Spatially, the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration centered around Zhengzhou exhibits a higher level of coupling coordination, while the southern and eastern parts of Henan Province show relatively lower coupling coordination levels. However, the disparity between regions is gradually narrowing. (2) The coupling coordination types of cities in Henan Province show synergistic effects with those of neighboring regions. The neighborhood effect significantly influences the regional coupling coordination degree, with regions in a low-coordination type showing a significantly higher probability of upward transition. (3) In view of the unbalanced development in Henan Province, it is necessary to strengthen the radiating leading role of core cities, accurately support backward regions, build cross-regional coordination mechanisms, and promote balanced development of all regions. This study innovatively constructs an evaluation framework for the coordinated development of multiple systems, revealing the spatial interaction mechanisms of regional complex system co-evolution. It provides a scientific basis for the implementation of high-quality development strategies in Henan Province.

Cultural and tourism integration is widely viewed as an approach to improving public cultural and tourism services, supporting high-quality economic development, and reinforcing cultural confidence. Given the symbolic significance of the Grand Canal within Chinese culture, this study proposes a comprehensive evaluation framework aligned with the core dimensions of high-quality development. A linear weighted model, a coupling coordination degree model, kernel density estimation, and standard deviational ellipse analysis are employed to measure the level and spatiotemporal evolution of high-quality cultural and tourism integration across eight provinces and municipalities along the Grand Canal Cultural Belt from 2012 to 2023. The geographical detector method is then applied to identify key driving factors. The results indicate the following. (1) From a temporal perspective, the high-quality development of cultural and tourism integration has generally exhibited a fluctuating upward trend. However, inter-provincial disparities have widened, attributable to differences in inherent resource endowments and the combined effect of policy resource allocation and market self-reinforcement mechanisms. (2) From a spatial perspective, the high-quality development of regional cultural and tourism integration demonstrates dual characteristics of gradient differentiation and axial stability. While Beijing and Zhejiang have achieved upward shifts in coordination levels, most areas such as Tianjin, Hebei, and Anhui remain in the initial stage, reflecting imbalances between institutional support and development momentum as well as threshold constraints. (3) Driving mechanism analysis suggests that openness, market supply, and technological innovation form a composite model that is state-led and locally implemented within the multilayered institutional context of China. Infrastructure also serves as a foundational platform that supports this model. The results of this study not only provide a reference for regional planning of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt but also reveal the evolutionary mechanisms and implementation pathways for the deep integration of the cultural and tourism industries within the Chinese context, thus offering insights for achieving high-quality integrated development in similar cultural corridors and regions.

Resource-exhausted cities face the dual pressures of ecological degradation and economic stagnation, making the achievement of synergistic development between high-quality economic growth and ecological resilience a core issue for regional sustainability. To clarify their coordination dynamics and response mechanisms, this study examines typical resource-exhausted cities in China’s Northeast Old Industrial Base, this study adopts an integrated approach combining comprehensive evaluation model, coupling coordination model, and panel vector autoregression (P-VAR) to analyze the spatial differentiation characteristics, synergistic evolution pathways, and interactive response mechanisms of economic development quality and ecological resilience from 2000 to 2020. The results indicate that: (1) Resource-exhausted cities exhibited a three-stage growth pattern of “medium-high-low” in economic development quality, while ecological resilience underwent an evolution from initial suppression to subsequent enhancement. Their coupling coordination level improved from basic dissonance (0.462) to basic coordination (0.631). (2) Resource-exhausted cities exhibited a gradient pattern where economic development quality was led by “dual-core leadership from coastal and border cities, coupled with the collapse of single-resource-dependent cities”, whereas ecological resilience displayed a“high in the south, low in the north, and stronger in comprehensive cities than in industrial-mining cities”structure. The coupling coordination degree exhibited a north-south divergence with a trend toward polarization. (3) A dynamic asymmetric response exists between economic development quality and ecological resilience in resource-depleted cities. Economic shocks exert a significant negative effect on ecological resilience, while ecological resilience shocks only cause a short-term, marginal suppression of economic development quality. (4) A pronounced asymmetric interaction mechanism exists between economic development quality and ecological resilience in resource-depleted cities. Fluctuations in ecological resilience are primarily driven by its own inertia, whereas economic development quality is driven by endogenous factors. In response, solutions and strategies are initially proposed in three areas: addressing gaps in high-quality economic development, strengthening the ecological resilience network, and formulating differentiated policies.

This paper conducts a comparative analysis of the rural revitalization development levels and the degree of coupling and coordinated development across eight counties and cities in the Yanbian area, set against the backdrop of the rural revitalization strategy. The foundational elements for rural revitalization are stronger in the northwest and central regions of Yanbian, followed by the eastern region, while the southern region exhibits a relatively weaker foundation. The types of agglomeration related to rural revitalization and development levels are characterized as high-high and low-high, primarily concentrated in Wangqing and Antu. The level of coupling development for rural revitalization in the Yanbian area is comparatively high, with coordinated development displaying a distribution pattern that is elevated in the north and diminished in the south. Notably, the areas of coupling and coordinated agglomeration are primarily located in Wangqing.

The relationship between innovation and economic development is becoming increasingly important. This study aims to identify the relationship between regional innovation capacity and regional economic development in a different aspect from previous studies. First, the concept of coupling coordination is used by synthesizing the relationship between regional innovation capacity and regional economic development. The second is to analyze the degree of coupling coordination between regional innovation capacity and regional economic development in terms of space. In particular, this study analyzes the factors that affect the degree of coupling coordination between regions through the spatial diffusion effect. The period of analysis is set from 2006 to 2020, and the subject of analysis includes China 30 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions. This study first analyzed the spatial characteristics of the coupling coordination between regional innovation capacity and regional economic development using the global Moran's I and local Moran's I. According to the analysis results of the two Moran indices, it was found that the coupling coordination degree had a strong spatial connection, and especially a high spatial concentration. Based on this, this study analyzed the effect on the coupling coordination between regional innovation capacity and regional economic development through government support, foreign investment, social security, and the express delivery industry using SAR, SEM, and SDM models. According to the analysis results, it was found that government support, foreign investment, and the express delivery industry had a positive (+) relationship with the degree of coupling coordination. Finally, this study analyzed the spatial diffusion effects of government support, foreign investment, social security, and the express delivery industry through spatial direct effects and spatial indirect effects. According to the analysis results, the spatial direct effect was relatively remarkable for government support, foreign investment, and the express delivery industry, and the spatial indirect effect, or spatial spillover effect, was relatively remarkable for social security.

目前, 中国经济已经步入新常态, 经济增长速度转变为由中高速增长。但是经济在高速发 展下出现了很多经济社会问题, 人口老龄化, 环境污染等。改变以往传统的粗放型增长方式 转为依靠创新作为中国经济发展的核心战略, 已成为中国新常态下经济发展的必要措施。创 新不仅是决定区域竞争力的因素之一, 也是区域经济发展的引擎, 在打破中等收入国家的陷 阱方面发挥着重要作用。结合中国现阶段经济发展的特点, 应该尽快实现创新要素与创新驱 动转变的新变革, 促使中国实现长期经济可持续发展。因此, 有必要分析两者的耦合协调发 展现状, 并研究分析两者之间的关系, 对区域经济发展具有重要的参考意义。根据前人研究 的基础上, 本文从创新投入, 创新产出和创新环境三个角度构建了区域创新能力评价体系。 从经济稳定性, 经济效率性, 经济协调性, 经济开放性, 经济共享性和经济绿色性六个维度 构建了经济发展评价体系, 在此基础上, 运用耦合协调度模型, 从2006, 2010, 2015, 2020年 的四个时间点, 分析了中国30个省市自治区的区域创新能力与区域经济发展的耦合协调发展 状况。其结果表明, 从区域创新能力与区域经济发展的综合得分来看, 中国大部分省市自治 区的区域创新能力与区域经济发展水平都低于平均水平。中国整体耦合协调度处于中度协 调, 距离高度协调阶段还有较大差距。处于高度协调和极度协调的省份数量不多, 但都分布 在东部经济发达地区。处于中度协调和低度协调的绝大部分省市自治区都处于创新能力滞 后型。四大区域的耦合协调度呈现出东部地区>中部地区>东北地区>西部地区的特征。

At present, China’s economy has entered a new normal, with the economic growth rate changing from medium to high speed growth. However, many economic and social problems have emerged as a result of this rapid development, such as the ageing of the population and environmental pollution. Changing the traditional sloppy growth approach to one that relies on innovation as the core strategy for China’s economic development has become a necessary measure for China’s economic development under the new normal. Innovation is not only one of the factors determining regional competitiveness, it is also an engine of economic development and plays an important role in breaking the trap of middle-income countries. Combined with the characteristics of China’s current stage of economic development, new changes in innovation factors and innovation-driven transformation should be realized as soon as possible, leading China to achieve long-term sustainable economic development. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the current situation of the coupled and coordinated development of the two and to study and analyze the relationship between them, which has important reference significance for regional economic development. Based on previous research, this paper constructs a regional innovation capacity evaluation system from three perspectives: innovation input, innovation output and innovation environment. The regional economic development evaluation system has been constructed in six dimensions: economic stability, economic efficiency, economic coordination, economic openness, economic sharing, and economic greenness. On this basis, the coupled and coordinated development of regional innovation capacity and regional economic development in 30 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions of China were analyzed from four-time points, 2006, 2010, 2015, and 2020, using the coupled and coordinated degree model. The results show that the quadrant of the composite score of regional innovation capacity and regional economic development shows that most provinces, cities, and autonomous regions in China are below the average level of regional innovation capacity and regional economic development. China’s overall coupling coordination is at a moderate level of coordination and is still far from the high coordination stage. The number of provinces at high and very high levels of coordination is small, but they are all located in the economically developed eastern regions. The vast majority of provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in the medium and low levels of coordination are in the lagging innovation capacity category. The coupling coordination of the four regions shows a characteristic of Eastern regions> Central regions> Northeast regions> Western regions.
