Practice of high quality development in Xinjiang:Construction and measurement of evaluation system
High-quality development is the cornerstone of building a modern socialist country.To advance high-quality development in Xinjiang,China,and accelerate its modernization,there is an urgent need for a scientific and rational evaluation index system to both reflect and guide progress.This study constructs a high-quality devel-opment evaluation index system for Xinjiang,incorporating primary indicators such as economic life,resource en-vironment,innovation and opening up,regional integration and coordination,agricultural and cultural tourism in-dustries,and eight major industrial clusters.Using the entropy method,the high-quality development index of Xinjiang is estimated.The coupling coordination degree model evaluates the degree of coordinated development of high-quality indicators in Xinjiang,while obstacle analysis identifies the factors constraining high-quality de-velopment.The findings reveal the following:(1)Xinjiang's comprehensive high-quality development index in-creased from 0.172 in 2011 to 0.785 in 2022,reflecting a relatively favorable overall development level.The opening to the outside world,financial and insurance industries,economic development,and agricultural,cultur-al,and tourism industries have made increasingly significant contributions to high-quality development.Howev-er,challenges remain in the areas of science and technology input-output efficiency,human capital,the develop-ment gap with the national average,and low-carbon development.(2)The coupling coordination degree of Xinji-ang's high-quality development improved from 0.365 in 2011 to 0.883 in 2022,indicating strong inter-indicator correlation and a virtuous cycle.Between 2011 and 2014,the coupling and coordination degree of first-class indi-cators increased by 0.0715 per year,0.0384 higher than the growth rate observed from 2015 to 2022,signaling a gradual slowdown.The degree of collaborative development between the two primary indicators,namely region-al integration coordination and resource environment,is relatively low.(3)Analysis of indicators with obstacle values exceeding 0.05 over the years identifies forest coverage,natural gas production,added value of the finan-cial industry,daily per capita domestic water consumption in cities,urban sewage treatment capacity,RMB depos-its of financial institutions,registered urban unemployment rates,green coverage of built-up areas,rural electrici-ty consumption,and reductions in chemical fertilizer use as key factors restricting Xinjiang's high-quality devel-opment.To address these constraints,the study proposes optimizing the allocation of scientific and technological resources,enhancing the efficiency of technological investments,leveraging latecomer advantages,accelerating integration into national strategies,deepening supply-side structural reforms,and promoting industrial structural transformation.
