Green development path in resource-based cities from a quadruple helix perspective:A qualitative comparative analysis
Promoting the green development of resource-based cities is a siginificant opportunity to purse high-quality development.By constructing a quadruple helix theoretical model and using the NCA and fsQCA methods,this study investigates the actuation mechanism of multi-actor synergistic linkage on the green development of resource-based cities from a configurational perspective.The research reveals that:1)The green development of resource-based cities is not driven by a single condition but is the result under a variety of criteria making common cause.2)There are two configurations for high-level green development namely the industry rationalization-dominated mechanism and firm-university-research institute-driven mechanism,and there are another four configurations for non-high-level green development,which are asymmetric compared to those of the high green development level.3)The rationalization of industry structure is a pivotal point for promoting the green development of resource-based cities,whereas environmental regulation and industrial upgrading have not yielded desirable results.The results of the study shed light on the interactions among various stakeholders in the process of green development in resource-based cities,which can provide theoretical guidance and offer references for pursing green development in resource-based cities.
