A Study on the Coupling of Digital Technology and Urban Resilience:An Empirical Analysis Based on Data of 285 Cities in China
Cities bear the heavy responsibility of economic and social development,and benign urban construction is a necessary condition for high-quality economic development in China.With the deepening application of emerging digital technologies in urban planning,construction,and management governance,using digital technology as an engine to enhance urban resilience is an important way to achieve high-quality urban development.Based on this background,this article first outlines the coupling mechanism between digital technology and urban resilience.Using the coupling coordination degree model,Dagum Gini coefficient,and obstacle degree model,the coupling coordination's development level of digital technology and urban resilience in 285 cities from 2012 to 2021 is comprehensively measured,and the temporal evolution,spatial differences,and influencing factors of coupling coordination are explored.Research has found that the overall development level of digital technology and urban resilience in China is steadily increasing,and the degree of coupling and coordination between the two is also constantly increasing.The spatial difference between the coupling of digital technology and urban resilience in China shows a trend of first decreasing and then rebounding.The coupling and coordinated development of digital technology and urban resilience in central and northern China is more balanced,while the imbalance level is highest in southern China.Meanwhile,digital infrastructure and social resilience are key factors that affect the level of coupling and coordination between digital technology systems and urban resilience systems.To further enhance the interaction between digital technology and urban resilience systems,it is necessary to actively build a data platform that shares data,unifies standards,and integrates interoperability;Promote cross regional flow of resources and talents,and promote coordinated development with surrounding cities,metropolitan areas,and urban agglomerations;Pay attention to the construction of digital infrastructure and the improvement of social security and welfare,promote the overall layout of public service facilities such as healthcare,elderly care services,and assistance for the disabled.
