The lower course of the Yellow River is a “hanging river” across hinterland China, and safety its flood control measures/systems closely tied to stability nation. Ensuring high-quality, sustainable development floodplain while maintaining crucial for entire Basin. Previous studies have primarily focused on overall Basin or economic–ecological coupling cities along river, often neglecting floodplain. This study optimizes socio-economic–flood-safety–ecological (SFE) system typical downstream Landong within dynamics model (SDM) can simulate dynamic behavior SFE systems by constructing mathematical models that incorporate feedback loops time delays. primary components include causal loop modules stock-flow modules. Then, coordination degree established using comprehensive subjective objective weighting method, assessing system’s under five scenarios: inertial development, economic environmental protection, safety, development. results historical validity tests indicate SDM effectively system. suggest increases most scenario, indicating should not only focus socio-economic growth, but also consider ecological concerns. In addition, regulation from socio-economic, environment indicators are necessary achieve coordinated has significant implications policy formulation management high-quality in River.

Improving the export quality of forestry products is crucial for development industry in developing countries. This study focuses on China—the largest country and a leading exporter products—and explores how GVCs influence their products, taking into account unique characteristics as resource-based sector. Using China’s trade data from 41 partner countries between 2000 2014, finds that forward GVC participation significantly enhances distinguishing this previous research. The diffusion technology within identified key influencing factor. result highlights that, industry, value chains are typically buyer-driven, with lead firms these chains, which possess advanced technologies, often occupying downstream positions related to marketing brand building. Therefore, when leverage improve they should not only focus backward but also consider potential generated through participation. distinction other production-driven one findings

The relationship between aviation logistics and the regional economy (AL&RE) is mutually reinforcing. This study aims to develop a research framework for evaluating coupling coordination level identifying critical influencing factors in AL&RE by integrating degree model with grey relational analysis. designed guide policy formulation, fostering economic development through coordinated advancement of AL&RE. To validate its effectiveness, an empirical analysis conducted using data from Sichuan Province China period 2013–2023. key findings are as follows: (1) In Province, local government expenditures on civil funds play crucial role supporting logistics, while GDP proportion investment environmental pollution control relative significantly impact economy. (2) remains high, generally improving, although occasional declines occur due internal imbalances caused external factors. (3) influence each indicator varies, cargo turnover, throughput, take-off landing sorties being most significant. (4) Critical differ those affecting their coordination, underscoring nonlinear nature this composite system. theoretically constructs system analyzes mechanism, addressing significant gap. It also integrates green indicators into subsystem, offering novel perspective future research. Practically, provides recommendations enhancing Sichuan.
