Evaluation,Spatiotemporal Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Collaborative Development Between Digitalization and Greenization at the Provincial Level
This article measures the development level of China's digitalization and greenization from 2012 to 2021,and then examines the temporal and spatial evolution characteristics of the collaborative development between digitalization and greenization and its obstacles with the help of the methods of coupling coordination degree model,Dagum Gini coefficient method,relative development degree model and obstacle degree mode.The study finds that:1)The coordination degree between digitalization and greenization has been rising year by year during the study period,with the overall coordination level raising from primary coordination to good coordination,and substantial progress has been made in the collaborative development of digitalization and greenization.2)With the implementation of regional coordinated development strategy,the level of the collaborative development between digitalization and greenization in China has shown a regional pattern of"the east of China leading and the west of China developing rapidly",and regional coordination has been enhanced.However,the east of China has always been in the absolute lead.The spatial pattern phenomenon has solidified,which is higher in the east of China than that in the west of China.Narrowing the differences between regions is still the key path to promoting regional collaborative development of digitalization and greenization.3)Except for four provincial-level regions,namely Beijing,Guangdong,Shanghai and Jiangsu,the rest of them are digitally lagging behind,and the development synchronization of digitalization and greenization is in urgent need of enhancement.4)Cultivating digital talents,strengthening technological innovation,improving digital efficiency,and reducing energy consumption are the important focuses of the new development stage to promote the synergistic transformation and development of digitization and greening.The obstacles to the enhancement of the collaborative development level of digitalization and greenization are heterogeneous across different provincial-level regions,regional guidance and classified regulation are the key paths to the collaborative development of digitalization and greenization.
