Study on the measurement of high-quality development efficiency and influencing factors in the Yellow River Basin, China

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: March 7, 2025

Environmental pollution and resource scarcity characterize the Yellow River Basin. Studying factors of high-quality development efficiency (HQDE) its spatial correlation in Basin is conducive to promoting maximization allocation In this study, Super-EBM Malmquist index were used measure HQDE explore influencing factors. The results show that: (1) higher cities upper reaches than middle lower reaches. Compared with degree technology utilization, growth mainly depends on technological progress. (2) urban decreases has been weakened annually. high-efficiency basin are obviously concentrated, while confluence have both high- low-efficiency located near each other. (3) a negative geographical spillover effect. Regression analysis shows that energy consumption, economic level, factor endowment, public awareness environmental protection, enterprise green level can promote HQDE, foreign investment pollution, education support impacts HQDE.

New Infrastructure Construction and Coordinated Development of the Regional Economy: The Empirical Evidence from the Yangtze River Delta Region in China

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(24), P. 10846 - 10846

This study explores the “gap reduction effect” of new infrastructure on regional economic disparities, investigating both its impact and underlying mechanisms in narrowing these gaps. Focusing 41 prefecture-level cities within Yangtze River Delta, this paper constructs an evaluation index system for quantitatively measures development. The results reveal that while overall level region is relatively advanced, there are notable disparities between cities. benchmark analysis demonstrates a significant positive relationship development promotion coordinated growth. New fosters industrial spatial integration through three primary pathways: enhancing efficiency resource allocation regions, driving upgrades, facilitating diffusion technological innovations. These factors collectively contribute to balanced economies. Further investigation uncovers threshold effect, suggesting digitalization plays crucial role catalyzed by infrastructure.

Measurement and optimization paths of the multidimensional development levels of counties in the Yellow River Basin: based on the sustainable livelihoods framework

Frontiers in Environmental Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: Dec. 18, 2024

The Yellow River Basin (YRB) faces intense man-land conflicts. However, existing studies rarely focus on the comprehensive and multidimensional development levels in YRB, there is a lack of refined county-level studies, making it difficult to fully support implementation ecological protection high-quality strategy YRB. Under Sustainable Livelihoods Framework, spatial distribution, differences, correlation characteristics counties YRB are disclosed. This achieved by comprehensively utilizing geospatial, socio-economic, other multi-source data combination with methods such as entropy weight method, Theil index, analysis. Optimal paths proposed types counties. findings follows: (1) Counties have low overall level, presenting distribution pattern “high east west” overall. In terms each dimension, average value ranking lower reach > middle upper observed dimension; exception financial dimension (with reach). (2) Differences between indices vary across different dimensions. differences (except for natural dimension) mainly attributable within reach. reaches non-significant. (3) their show strong correlation. And significant identified LL-type (clusters areas) HH-type high areas). (4) Depending measurement results advantageous factors county classified into four types: weak type, single-dimension-led potential coordinated type. Based this classification, targeted optimal specific types. research can provide effective scientific
