“…where I represents the decoupling coefficient between the rural residential land area and resident population; RL indicates the rate of land area change in rural settlements; RP indicates the difference in the number of rural people; LA 0 and LA t refer to the land area used in rural settlements in the early and late stages of the study, respectively; and PQ 0 and PQ t refer to the rural population at the beginning and end of the study, respectively. In the study of the decoupling state and Tapio method [26,27], the critical values for the elasticity coefficient were determined to be 0.8 and 1.2 (Table 2, Figure 3).…”

There are two types of land systems in China: collective-owned and state-owned. Under both systems, differences in land ownership have led to different land-use and management systems, resulting in urban–rural dual structures under the jurisdiction of local governments and urban–rural unitary structures in reclamation areas of the state-owned land system. This has significantly changed the relationship between the rural population and land, which has been intensified by rapid urbanization and industrialization. Therefore, based on the rural population and remote sensing data, this study uses the Tapio decoupling model to determine the relationships between the rural population and residential land under different land systems. The main results indicate that the evolution of the rural population and residential land area under different land systems presents an obvious inverse relationship. From 1995 to 2020, under the jurisdiction of the local government, the land area and population of rural dwellers declined, with the decline in population being faster than that in residential areas. At the same time, the spatial agglomeration of residential areas from the middle to the south of the province expanded. In contrast, the population and residential land area showed significant reverse changes in state-owned domains. Rural residential land area declined, and the rural population increased, most notably in the eastern region. Furthermore, strong negative decoupling between the rural population and rural residential land was observed in areas under local government jurisdiction (accounting for 89.61%), meaning that the population declined while the living area increased, which is not conducive to increasing intensive land-use and productivity. Simultaneously, in state-owned domains, only 33.33% of the rural population and residential land areas presented the above-mentioned negative decoupling, with the remaining 66.67% being coordinated. After 2010, due to the socio-economic gap, the proportion of coordination in local government jurisdiction areas continued to decrease, whereas coordination in reclamation areas remained stable. Therefore, the data suggest that a single land allocation and governance regime across urban and rural domains under the state-owned land system is more helpful in enabling populations and efficient land-use. This suggests that, in the future, it will be helpful to consider promoting the effective integration of urban and rural land markets, optimizing the allocation of urban and rural land resources, and enhancing the reform of the rural land system in order to realize synergistic interactions between the urban and rural populations and construction land in Heilongjiang Province.

“…In order to establish a joint mayors' meeting system, the Yangtze River Delta region established the Yangtze River Delta Cities Economic Coordination Council in 1997 (Xiang et al, 2019), following the principle of "three regions uniting and industry governing together", which has played an active role in breaking down regional barriers and improving people's sense of regional identity, as opposed to the lax economic and political communication. The Yangtze River Delta region has a higher level of coordinated development between cities, with the radiation of large cities to small cities.…”

Regional economic integration has emerged as a significant focus for China in the post-pandemic era, as the nation seeks to establish mutually beneficial relationships with external economies and promote national development. In this study, the entropy method is employed to construct an index system tailored specifically to the four provinces within the Yangtze River Delta region. This research aims to explore the advantages and challenges of regional economic integration in China by conducting a comparative analysis of the Yangtze River Delta. The study also evaluates the merits and drawbacks of different integration models, drawing on examples from developed countries. The ultimate goal of the research is to provide insights and recommendations for China's regional economic integration, thus contributing to the country's overall prosperity.

“…The level of urban development restricts the development of the regional economy [58]. The lack of the development level in cities in the Wanjiang City Belt affects the undertaking of industrial transfer [59]. In recent years, the development of the Wanjiang City Belt has shown a good momentum, but the overall economic level is still low.…”

The Wanjiang City Belt is an important part of Anhui’s economic development. It is the core area of the two national strategies regarding the rise of the central region and the integration of the Yangtze River Delta. This paper analyzes the urban development level of the Wanjiang City Belt using a nonparametric test. Holt’s linear trend method of a time series prediction model is used to predict and analyze the GDP growth rate of the second and third industries in the Wanjiang area. The results show that: (1) the economic development level of cities in the Wanjiang City Belt is unbalanced, and there is a significant gap in some cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai; (2) the speed of undertaking industrial transfer in the Wanjiang City Belt is slowing down, and the competition of undertaking industrial transfer in the Wanjiang region is increasingly fierce; (3) in the process of the Wanjiang City Belt undertaking an industrial transfer, there are some problems such as the imbalance of undertaking ability, industrial isomorphism and regional competition, which hinder the coordinated development and sustainable economic development of the Wanjiang area. To achieve high-quality and sustainable development of the Wanjiang City Belt, it is necessary to further improve the policy guarantee, industrial cluster, talent introduction and independent innovation.
