New urbanization promoting the construction of water ecological civilization:Mechanism of influence and spatial effects
New urbanization is an important carrier of ecological civilization construction.How to promote the construction of water ecological civilization through new urbanization is a major practical problem facing the Huaihe River Eco-economic Belt in the process of modernization in which people and nature live together in harmony.This study empirically examined the mechanism of influence and spatial effects of urbanization on the construction of water ecological civilization using a spatial econometric model based on the urban panel data of the Huaihe River Eco-economic Belt from 2006 to 2020.The results are as follows:1)The impact of comprehensive urbanization and population urbanization on the construction of water ecological civilization in the Huaihe River Eco-economic Belt follows a typical environmental Kuznets curve,exhibiting a"U"-shaped relationship.The urbanization restrains the construction of water ecological civilization in its early stage of development.Once the level of urbanization reaches a certain threshold,this effect will become positive.2)The urbanization of population in each city has reached the inflection point value in 2014,while the comprehensive urbanization level has not yet reached the inflection point,therefore it is necessary to speed up the conversion of the transferred agricultural population into urban residents and effectively promote the new urbanization with people as the core.3)The urbanization of the Huaihe River Eco-economic Belt has a significant inverted"U"-shaped spillover effect on water ecological civilization construction.Meanwhile,water ecological civilization construction in the region exhibits a negative spatial spillover effect.Therefore,the Huaihe River Eco-economic Belt should establish a sound system for the protection of water ecological civilization and strengthen the coordinated construction of urbanization and water ecological civilization in order to enhance the quality of new urbanization development and create an ecological demonstration belt that is harmonious between humans and water.This study offers a new perspective for analyzing the interplay between urbanization and water resource,and provides theoretical reference and empirical evidence for leveraging the new urbanization to promote the construction of water ecological civilization.
