Spatio-temporal pattern and attribution analysis of urban land green use efficiency in the Middle and Lower Reaches of the Yellow River
Urban land green use is an effective approach to achieve ecological civilization construction and the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.Analyzing the urban land green use efficiency and its influencing factors can provide references for the green transformation of urban construction and gov-ernance.This study focuses on 60 cities in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River as the re-search objects.The model of undesirable output super-efficiency SBM is used to calculate the urban land green use efficiency.Furthermore,the gravity model,random forest model,and spatial and tem-poral geographic weighted regression model are employed to analyze its spatio-temporal changes and in-fluencing factors.The results indicate that:1)The urban land green use efficiency in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River has shown a slow growth trend from 2000 to 2020,with a significant increase in high-efficiency cities.2)The gravity center of urban land green use efficiency shows a moving trend of shifting to westward and then eastward.3)Social structure,market environment,and economic development play a crucial role in the urban land green use efficiency,while government in-vestment and natural factors have relatively less significance.4)The influencing factors of urban land green use efficiency exhibit obvious spatial heterogeneity.Therefore,in the process of promoting re-gional coordination and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin,it is necessary to compre-hensively consider factors such as population concentration,openness,government regulations,and in-dustrial structure.Tailored policies should be formulated according to local conditions to facilitate eco-logical protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin.
