Theoretical and Methodological Framework for Provincial-Level Coastal Economic Planning with Multi-Scalar Land-Sea Coordination:A Case Study of Fujian Province
Guided by the principles of ecological civilization and the goal of estab-lishing China as a maritime power,the country has identified"blue economy"as a new engine of economic growth.Effective planning and optimal utilization of coastal economic spaces are crucial for balancing the needs of high-quality development and comprehensive protection of marine cities.Adopting a multi-scalar global perspective and setting strategic priorities are keys to enhancing the effectiveness of coastal spa-tial economy planning.Building on national-level objectives of coordinated land-sea planning and addressing practical issues of provincial coastal economic development,this paper introduces a theoretical framework for coordinating multi-scalar and trans-boundary spaces.It incorporates factors such as external environment,internal pat-terns,and resource elements.It proposes following a coordination path of"the re-gion,the province,and bay areas".Following this framework,the paper suggests that Fujian Province should strive to develop a dual-fan-shaped global coastal city cluster encompassing Fujian and Taiwan.It advocates forming a coastal industrial spatial pattern characterized by high density and low impact within the province.Fur-thermore,the paper recommends building distinctive bay units that promote coordi-nated territorial and maritime development as well as integrated city-industrial devel-opment.This research provides theoretical and practical references for high-quality coastal economic development and comprehensive governance of land-sea coordination.
