Research on the coupling and coordination relationship between primary healthcare resource allo-cation and economic development in the Yangtze River Economic Belt
Based on the regional perspective,taking the coupling and coordination of primary healthcare allocation and economic development in 11 provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt,this paper discusses the coordination relationship between the healthcare allocation and economic development in areas with large gaps in economic level,geographical location and population size,so as to provide refer-ence for the coordinated development of the two systems.The entropy method is used to determine the in-dex weight of primary healthcare resource and economic development level.The coupling coordination model is used to calculate the degree of coupling coordination between 2017-2021,and the kernel density estimation method is used to analyze the distribution and changes of the coordination relationship between the two.During 2017 and 2021,the relative development degree(R)of each province and city is greater than 1.2,and the overall trend was that the allocation of primary healthcare resource exceeded economic development.The coupling degree(C)is greater than 0.80,which is in the high-level coupling stage.The coupling coordination degree(D)increases year by year,and the coordination type changes from being on the verge of imbalance to primary coordination.The overall level of coupling coordination shows the spa-tial pattern of'low upstream and high downstream'.The kernel density curve of coupling coordination de-gree shows a trend of increasing peak height and decreasing width.From 2017 to 2021,the allocation of primary healthcare resource and economic development are highly correlated,and the coordination state between the two has changed from running-in to coordination.In terms of distribution,the regional gap of coupling coordination degree level is significant,but the gap is narrowing year by year,and the balanced development trend is significant.
