Coupling Coordination Between Urbanization and Ecological Environment in Henan Province and Its Influencing Factors
Downloads
Taking Henan Province as the research subject, this study constructs an evaluation index system for urbanization and ecological environment. Using the entropy method, coupling coordination degree model, and spatial center of gravity–ellipse model, the spatio-temporal evolution pattern of the coupling coordination between urbanization and ecological environment in Henan Province from 2011 to 2022 is quantitatively measured. The scissor difference model is employed to calculate the degree of discrepancy between the two systems. Additionally, the GTWR model is applied to analyze the influencing factors of their coupling. The results show that: 1) Both urbanization and ecological environment in Henan Province exhibited an upward trend, with significant spatio-temporal coupling characteristics. 2) The spatial center of gravity shifted only slightly during the study period, moving near the border of Xinzheng. 3) The coupling coordination degree showed a trend of “fluctuation–decline–rise” over the study period. 4) Macro-level government regulation, scientific and technological progress, and informatization exerted positive effects on the coupled system, whereas transportation construction-imposed pressure on the ecological environment, generating negative effects.
