Abstract:

China is in a phase of high-quality development, where addressing the challenges posed by extensive land use due to rapid urban expansion is crucial for the sustainable growth of cities. While existing research predominantly focuses on the economical and intensive use of urban construction land or the status of high-quality development, the interplay and coordination between these aspects are seldom discussed. This study targets the Ningxia of China, establishing multidimensional index systems to assess the level of economical and intensive use of urban construction land and the status of high-quality development across 22 districts and counties in 2018. Through the analysis of coupling coordination degree, relative development degree, and influence coordination force, the study explores the coupling coordination relationship between these elements. The findings reveal the following: (1) The economical and intensive use level of urban construction land exhibits a pattern of being “low in the central region and high in the northern and southern areas”, whereas the high-quality development level is characterized by a “high in the northwest and low in the southeast” spatial pattern in Ningxia in 2018. (2) The coupling coordination degree of the two systems shows a “low in the central region and high in the northern and southern areas” spatial distribution, with most districts and counties in Ningxia achieving a basic state of coordination, indicating a virtuous cycle in the relationship between the two systems. (3) The innovation and security subsystems tend to negatively impact the coupling coordination of the systems, while the green and coordination subsystems generally contribute positively. These results provide an empirical foundation for promoting the economical and intensive use of construction land within the context of high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin.

Key words: economical and intensive utilization of urban construction land, high-quality development, coupling coordination degree, relative development degree, Ningxia
