Evaluation of the Ecological and Economic Innovation Capability of Resource——Based Cities:A Case Study of Ordos City
As the national strategy of"ecological civilization construction"continues to advance,resource-based cities,which have traditionally developed dominant industries based on their natural resource endowments,have drawn increasing attention from society and various levels of government regarding whether their ecological technology and eco-economic innovation capabilities can become drivers of sustainable development and core competitiveness.This study employs spatial analysis techniques to extract ecological resource data required for calculations from remote sensing imagery,soil type maps,and digital elevation models.Based on these data,an evaluation system was constructed to assess the innovation and transformation of urban industrial structures in line with the new strategic context.The study conducts a quantitative analysis and evaluation of the economic,resource development,and environmental changes before and after the transition in Ordos,Inner Mongolia,across three dimensions:economic development,resource exploitation,and ecological protection.The analysis reveals that the dominant industry in the study area remains the secondary sector,and there is an imbalance between economic growth and ecological protection,indicating that the effects of the transition are not ideal.The study suggests accelerating the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure,actively exploring alternative industries,and incorporating ecological value into the government's performance evaluation system to scientifically and reasonably design the evaluation framework for the innovative transformation of resource-based cities.
