The Coupling and Coordinated Development of New-type Urbanization and Ecological Resilience in Anhui Province and Influencing Factors

In order to explore the characteristics and influencing factors of the coupling and coordinated development of new urbanization and ecological resilience in 16 cities in Anhui Province from 2012 to 2022, this paper established an index system and conducted research using the coupling and coordination degree model, spatial autocorrelation analysis and geographic detector. The results showed that, the new-type urbanization and ecological resilience of Anhui Province showed a good trend of steady increase during the study period. During the study period, the coupling degree of the two systems was always in the high level coupling stage, and the coupling coordination degree entered the intermediate stage from the barely coordinated development stage. During the study period, the coupling degree of coordination between the two systems varied in spatial patterns, from “mid-high” to “low edge” to “low south” and “low north” . During the study period, the combination of feedbacks from both systems showed a clear positive correlation. The H-H cluster was mainly located in the south, and the L-L cluster was mainly located in the north. The coupling and coordinated development of new-type urbanization and ecological resilience in Anhui province was driven by multiple factors. In the detection of a single impact factor, economic development level, industrial structure adjustment, pollutant treatment capacity and other factors were the main driving factors. In the interaction factor detection, there was a significant interaction enhancement effect among the factors, among which the interaction between economic development and other factors was the strongest.On this basis, strategies and proposals had been developed to improve integration and the level of development compatible between new urbanisation and the state’ s ecological resilience.
