As a strategic location with an outstanding ecological status and a representative underdeveloped district in western my country,the sustainable development of Gansu is confronted with the dual dilemma of ecology degradation and feeble economic growth,and there is an obvious conflict that exist between ecological environment and economy.Taking the green economy as guidance,converting the growth model,and making the relationgship of ecological environment and economy turn to harmonized are of great significance for Gansu to eliminate path dependence and achieve high-quality development in the new era.This research aims to make ecological environment assort with economy.The research content mainly focuses on the following aspects.First,make an assay of the existing condition of Gansu’s environment and economy,conclude the main difficulties in the course of development of ecological environment and economy,and proffer a practical support for the subsequent analysis;secondly,establish a compositive maluation index system for the two major ecological and economic systems.And using the entropy method and the coupling harmonious degree model,the harmonized development degree of the ecological environment and the economy of 12 prefecture-level cities in Gansu from 2004 to 2018 was measured,and the harmonized development degree of the two system was analyzed in time series and space;then,Utilizing the panel Tobit model to emprically quest the factors that impact the degree of harmonized development of the two;finally,based on the current circumstances of the ecology and economy,and based on the results of the experimental study,some targeted advices that boost the harmonized development of the ecology and the economy were brought forth.Research indicates:(1)From the perspective of time series changes,from 2004 to 2018,the degree of harmonized development of the two system in Gansu has underwent three phases: rapid volatility growth,sustained rapid growth,and steady and slow growth.The connection between the ecology and economy has gradually changed from imbalance turned into harmony.The relative development style of environment and economy has changed from economy laggard style to environment laggard style by degree,and the growth discrepancy between the two is increasingly dwindling.Currently,the growth of the ecosystem and the economy has retarded,and the harmonized development of the ecology and the economy is facing a bottleneck.(2)From the perspective of spatial distinction,the harmonized development standard of ecology and economy in diverse districts of Gansu shows a law of distribution between east,middle and west,with higher standard in the west and midst,and inferior standard in the east.However,with the passage of time,the gap in the degree of harmony among various districts has progressively narrowed,the law of distribution between east,middle and west has been weakened,and the harmonized degree in the east has progressively changed from a low overall degree to a staggered distribution.(3)In the aspect of the factors impacting the harmonized development of the ecological environment and the economy,many factors commonly make the the the two system change into harmony.There are many aspects that include industrial ecologicalization,industrial structure,technological innovation,environmental regulation,government regulation and opening to the outside world,etc.,they have facilitated the harmonized development of the ecological environment and the economy in various degrees.(4)According to the existing difficulties in the development process of ecology and economy and the results of experimental study,it is pointed out that Gansu should rely on the superiorities of resources and environment to foster ecological industries,start from optimizing industrial structure to cultivate new kinetic energy,strengthening government adjustment and regulation,motivating technological invention,and expanding opening to the outside world,simultaneously applying various measures to motivate the harmonized development of the ecological environment and the economy,and to solve the current growth morass. |
