摘要

Rapid urbanization imposes restrictions on the area’s ecological sustainability and offers serious obstacles to the natural environment’s healthy growth. For the purpose of examining how these two systems are connected: framework of coordinated development, this study explores the connection between emerging urbanization and natural ecosystems. A new assessment score system to evaluate urbanization and the natural environment is created using Shaanxi province as an example, which serves as a high-quality core for the development of the economic belt known as the Silk Road and Yellow River basin. The present research employs a combination of the coupling coordination degree model, geographical detector, and geographically weighted regression model to quantify the spatial and temporal patterns, as well as the influencing factors, of the connecting along with coordinated growth of new urbanization and eco-environment in Shaanxi province from 2010 to 2020. The findings indicate that: (1) In the province of Shaanxi, The comprehensive index of new urbanization has increased from 0.105 to 0.922, The comprehensive index of ecological environment increased from 0.449 to 0.675, both of which showed an upward trend. The coupling coordination degree has increased from 0.466 (near imbalance) to 0.888 (good coordination), and the coordination type has shifted from “high coupling, low coordination” to benign development. (2) The spatial order of regional coupling and coordinated development is: Guanzhong Plain > Northern Shaanxi > Southern Shaanxi, The spatial pattern has changed from the “dual core” main director of Xi’an Tongchuan to the “unipolar dominance” of Xi’an. (3) The lagging urbanization is the main limiting factor, while highly urbanized areas (such as Xi’an) face ecological lag problems. Eight factors, including urbanization rate and population density, have the strongest explanatory power for the spatiotemporal differentiation of coupling coordination degree (q value > 0.8), and the effect intensity of each factor has spatial heterogeneity. This study may be used as a resource to help Shaanxi Province’s emerging urbanization and surrounding environment flourish in a coordinated, sustainable manner.
