Spatiotemporal Evolution and Influencing Factors of Green Development in Resource-intensive Areas at the Municipal Level:A Case Study of Shanxi Province
Based on the scientific connotation of green development,this article constructs a comprehensive evaluation index system for the level of urban green development in Shanxi Province from three aspects:green production,green life,and green governance.It uses the methods of the entropy method,the Thiel index,the spatial autocorrelation and the geographic detector to analyze the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics and influencing factors of green development level in 11 municipal-level cities of Shanxi Province from 2010 to 2019.The results show that:1)Since 2010,the overall level of urban green development in Shanxi Province has improved significantly,while the absolute and relative differences of green development level in municipal-level cities show a decreasing trend.From the perspective of regional differences in green development,the overall difference of green development level has decreased in municipal-level cities of Shanxi Province,and there is polarization in green development of municipal-level cities in the northern,central and southern Shanxi,and intra-regional differences are the main source of overall differences.2)The spatial differentiation pattern of urban green development level in Shanxi Province is obvious,forming an obvious"core-edge"spatial structure feature.Taiyuan and Jinzhong have become the core areas of urban green development in Shanxi Province,while Yangquan,Linfen and Yuncheng have become the edge areas of urban green development.The difference in green development level between the core and edge areas is very obvious.The global autocorrelation and local autocorrelation of urban green development level in Shanxi Province are not significant,there is no significant spatial agglomeration of green development,and the spillover effect is not significant.3)The spatial differentiation of urban green development level in Shanxi Province is the result of the interaction of many factors,among which economic development,industrial structure upgrading,population quality,technological innovation,foreign investment and urban ecological environment become the main driving factors affecting urban green development in Shanxi Province through the interaction with other factors.Finally,some countermeasures and suggestions are put forward for promoting green development in Shanxi Province.
