The bottlenecks in enhancing regional green development are resource shortages, environmental pollution, and ecological degradation. Taking the Dongliao River Basin (DRB) of Jilin Province as an example, this study explored green development from a multidimensional perspective. Based on the dimension evaluation results of REECC (resources, environment, and ecological carrying capacity), PLES (production–living–ecological space), and ER (ecological redline), the coupling coordination degree model and spatial autocorrelation model were constructed to explore the coupling coordination degree and spatial distribution of green development. The results showed that REECC had significant spatial differences, and the REECC index showed an increasing trend from northwest to southeast. In 2018, the overall level of green development in the DRB has obvious spatial dependence, but there were spatial differences, with a more obvious polarization from northwest to southeast. The spatial distribution of the coupling degree and coupling coordination degree is roughly the same, and there is a clustering distribution. The conclusions have practical significance for future environmental protection and economic production in the DRB.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
