“…With the development intensity of economic activities increasing, resource consumption also increases day by day. The land used for urban construction increased significantly, while cultivated land and effective irrigated area in some areas decreased, just like Shen et al's conclusion [61]. For example, the cultivated land of Zhejiang, where the resource supporting force index changes the most, decreased from 2.09 million hectares in 2000 to 1.97 million hectares in 2017, down 5.37%.…”

As a rigid constraint of the scale and speed of regional economic-social development, carrying capacity is an endogenous variable of regional sustainable development potential. Concepts such as ecological footprint and virtual water have been introduced into the research field of carrying capacity, but dynamic and comprehensive problems in carrying capacity have not been effectively solved. This paper attempts to overcome these limitations by taking the regional factor aggregation degree as the weight and the regional green GDP as the carrying object. Based on the economic-social supplying force, resource supporting force, and environmental constraint force, from the perspective of comprehensive factors assessment, we have constructed an evaluation system of regional carrying capacity index, including mineral, water, and bioecological resources, as well as labor and other factors, and evaluated the regional carrying capacity of 11 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River Economic Belt. The results indicate that (1) the supporting force of the resource subsystem becomes the most critical factor affecting the carrying capacity of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and the cross-regional flow potential of resource factors increases the regional carrying capacity threshold. (2) The regional carrying capacity, economic-social, resource and environmental subsystems of the Yangtze River Economic Belt are steadily improving, and the overall trend is positive. The quantified dynamic evaluation of regional economic-social, resource and environmental carrying capacity provides a theoretical support for the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt eco-priority green development demonstration area.

“…On the other hand, some scholars have suggested that urban agglomeration development could exert a beneficial "1 + 1" >2 effect on cities and contribute to the improvement of economic performance among cities within urban agglomerations [58]. Mean-while, some scholars believe that urban agglomerations can achieve economic growth without expanding urban land area, thereby improving ULUE [59][60][61][62], which was why ULUE increased after the BTH region Coordinated Development Strategy was proposed by China in 2014.…”

Due to limited land resources, it is necessary to balance urban economic development and efficient land use. Clarifying the relationship between the two is crucial to improving both economic efficiency and land use efficiency. Considering the undesirable output of urban land use, this paper adopts a super efficiency SBM model to quantify the urban land use efficiency (ULUE) of the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) region from 1999 to 2019, and analyzes the relationship between ULUE and economic development level (EDL) by combining the Tapio model and the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) model. The results show the following: (1) During the study period, the ULUE showed a fluctuating upward trend on the temporal scale, with the lowest and highest inflection points occurring in 2002 and 2018, respectively, and a distribution pattern of “high in the southeast and low in the northwest” on the spatial scale. (2) The decoupling relationship between ULUE and EDL showed repeated fluctuations between decoupling and coupling states on the temporal scale, but the overall showed a transition trend from decoupling state to coupling state. On the spatial scale, from north to south, there were a strong decoupling state (SDS), weak decoupling state (WDS), strong decoupling state (SDS), and weak decoupling state (WDS) in order, showing a regular interval repetition distribution pattern. (3) The relationship between ULUE and EDL showed an EKC “U-shaped” curve, that is, ULUE decreases first and then increases with the increases in EDL. The results of this study can provide a reference for the coordinated and sustainable development of the BTH region.

“…At the macro level, some scholars have made a deep investigation into the index system and evaluation methods of RECC at different levels [26][27][28][29][30][31]. For example, Dong Wen et al constructed the evaluation index system of RECC in the provincial main function zoning from the two perspectives of resource attributes and environmental attributes, based on the existing calculation method of measuring natural total and joint scientific and technological strength to achieve the accuracy of the evaluation [26].…”

The comprehensive resource and environment carrying capacity (RECC) evaluation is an important method for measuring the rationality of the population, resource, and environment allocation, which is an important scientific guidance for scientific research and the judgment of regional economic and social development potential and the optimization of the national land spatial pattern. This paper constructs a comprehensive evaluation index system of the RECC under the new situation of climate policy and high-quality economic development; it analyzes the factors influencing the RECC, the overall level, the spatial difference, and the carrying status by using the TOPSIS model based on the entropy weight method, and it identifies the shortcomings; then, it analyzes the characteristics of regional dynamic change and sustainable development trend, and finally, it simulates the optimal spatial pattern under the scenario simulated by the FLUS model. The conclusions are as follows: ① the resource factors have the greatest influence on the carrying capacity of the resources and the environment, followed by economic factors. Among them, per capita water resources, forest coverage rate, and health institutions have the highest impact on RECC. ② The overall level of comprehensive RECC from 2015 to 2020 shows an upward trend, and although the positive impact of resource-led provinces on the level of economic development power and RECC is greater than the negative one, the environmental support is the shortcoming of the future development of the regional economy. ③ The overall spatial performance of RECC is characterized as being high in Guanzhong, second in northern Shaanxi, and low in southern Shaanxi. The northern area of Yulin in the Guanzhong Plain City Cluster, which is an important national energy chemical base, is the core of the national-level urbanization development areas, and the northern area of the Guanzhong Plain City Cluster is the key choice of the provincial-level urbanization development areas. The area along the west bank of the Yellow River in the Qinba Mountain area in southern Shaanxi and the Baiyu Mountain area in northern Shaanxi can be positioned as national key ecological function areas.
