“…Regional coordinated development can release the potential of economic development to a remarkable extent and is important in reducing resource consumption and protecting the ecology and environmental (Chen et al, 2021a ). The inner cities of the FDUA have profound cultural origins, and the integration of infrastructure is constantly improving, which has laid a solid foundation for the circulation of resources and information.…”

“…The continuous spread of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has disrupted the overall pace of the world economy and put globalization to a severe test. However, in the long run, economic globalization is irreversible, unabated (Chen et al, 2021a ), and remains an inevitable trend in world development. As China’s society and economy enter the stage of high-quality development, the model of the independent development of single cities is no longer sustainable, and a sustainable pattern of regional coordinated development is urgently needed (Ivanova et al, 2019 ; Wang & Meng, 2020 ).…”

As highly concentrated urbanized areas, urban agglomerations bear increasing resource depletion and environmental pressures, which threaten the regional sustainable development. Resource and environmental problems arising from the process of urbanization can be attributed to the dislocation or maladjustment of material metabolism in time or space. Conducting research on material metabolism at the level of urban agglomerations is helpful in finding the root causes of environmental problems to provide support for the reduction of regional resource consumption and pollution emissions. The material metabolism characteristics of the urban agglomeration and internal cities of the Fujian Delta Urban Agglomeration (FDUA) in China are evaluated using the material flow analysis. The following results are observed. (1) The economic development of the FDUA is still at risk of resource consumption, and a large proportion of hidden flow (HF > 80%) drags down the overall metabolic efficiency and sustainable development. (2) The discharge of various pollutants in the FDUA generally shows a downward trend. Improving metabolic efficiency, delayed MCI growth, and improved overall regional environmental quality are observed. (3) Cities that have relatively scarce land resources but are economically developed, such as Xiamen, still bear a relatively heavy ecological burden (EC dmc > 1). (4) Regional collaboration is conducive to the sustainable development of multiple regions. On the one hand, the results of this study provide decision-making basis for the sustainable development of the national ecological civilization demonstration area. On the other hand, this work guides the establishment of a comprehensive industrial linkage and cooperation mechanism for the same type of small- and medium-sized urban agglomerations.

“…On the practical level, on the one hand, limited by spatial isolation, forming a benign industrial agglomeration pattern requires significant costs. On the other hand, the competitive effect between neighboring regions hinders inter-regional cooperation, so the positive externalities of industrial agglomeration and regional cooperation cannot be fully utilized [23][24][25]. With the development of the digital economy and the formation of digital synergy, spatial isolation is no longer an obstacle to regional cooperation, and remote cooperation between regions is more convenient.…”

The collaboration of digitalization refers to a comprehensive digital governance system that achieves cross-regional digital industrialization and deep integration of industrial digitization through the construction of digital infrastructure, which paves the way toward regional sustainability. However, little is known about whether and to what extent regional digital collaboration contributes to green development. Furthermore, the specific role of digital collaboration in greening the regional economy and society remains unexplored. Thus, this paper tests the relationship between digital collaboration, business environment, and regional green development by using data from 285 prefecture-level cities in China from 2008 to 2022. The findings suggest that: (1) the hysteresis phenomenon of the “green dividend effect” response to regional digital collaboration is present; (2) digital collaboration in eastern cities positively impacted (but lagged) the greening of the economy and society, but cities in central and western regions negatively impact this process; (3) the business environment mediates the relationship between the lagged digital collaboration and regional green development, and it positively moderates the relationship between both the current and lagged digital collaboration and regional green development. By elucidating the relationship between digital collaboration, business environment, and regional green development, contributions have been made to previous digital innovation literature, and management insights have been provided for how regions can promote green development in the digital age.

“…Regions classified in Quadrant IV are Bantul Regency and Kulon Progo Regency, which have lower economic growth and per capita income than other regions. Chen et al (2021) used the location quotient (LQ) method to analyze regional industrial synergies in China. Industrial development in several areas is seen in primary sectors, such as agriculture, forestry and fisheries.…”

Based on Presidential Regulation Number 63 of 2020, there is still one underdeveloped area in West Sumatera Province, namely the Kepulauan Mentawai Regency. This study aims to find and analyze the common leading sector in underdeveloped areas in West Sumatera Province. The criteria for the leading sectors in this study are placed in Quadrant I based on Klassen Typology, have a location quotient (LQ) value > 1, the sum of the proportional shift and differential shift is positive according to the shift-share method, the growth ratio of the reference area (GRRA) and the growth ratio of the study area (GRSA) are positive according to the growth ratio method (GRM), and the LQ and GRSA values are positive according to the overlay method. Based on the Klassen Typology method, two leading sectors were identified, the LQ method showed three leading sectors, the shift-share method identified 10 sectors, the GRM showed five leading sectors, and the overlay method identified four leading sectors. Construction was the leading sector that was found by all five methods. The regional government of the Kepulauan Mentawai Regency must commit to developing this sector in the future as a mainstay leading sector in the economic development of the region.
