Coupling Coordination and Spatial Correlation between Urbanization and Atmospheric Environment in Shaanxi Province
Based on the panel data of 10 cities in Shaanxi Province from 2011 to 2021,PSR model,coupling coordination model,and spatial correlation characteristics were used to explore the main constraints affecting urbanization and atmospheric environment security and provide scientific suggestions for the common development of urbanization and ecological environment in Shaanxi Province.The result shows that the overall level of urbanization development in various cities in Shaanxi Province is on the rise,and the comprehensive index of atmospheric environmental quality fluctuates greatly,showing a downward trend overall.The overall coordination between urbanization and atmospheric environment development in Shaanxi Province has been on the rise in the past decade.Among them,Xi'an has a high level of coordination in the development of urbanization and atmospheric environment,while coupled coordination in cities such as Shangluo and Hanzhong is relatively low.And it is found that the coupling and coordination between atmospheric environmental quality and urbanization development in various cities have a positive spatial dependence.Therefore,in the process of formulating urban development strategies,Shaanxi Province should consider optimizing industrial structure,energy-saving development,and leveraging the spatial spillover of Xi'an City to achieve harmonious and sustainable development among cities in Shaanxi Province.
