“…This paper used Ha-Chang urban agglomeration as the research area, applied the econometric model of time series to study the interaction between population and land urbanization of Ha-Chang urban agglomeration, and applied the coordinated development degree model to analyze and evaluate the coordination development of population and land urbanization. In addition, exploratory research is an important measure to reveal the condition of urbanization development and discover the spatial heterogeneity of coupling coordination degree on sustainable urbanization [64]. According to the results of this research, we found that the industrial base of small-and medium-sized cities is weak.…”

As the major form of urbanization, urban agglomeration integrates urban resources, adjusts industrial structure, narrows the gap between urban and rural areas, enhances urban function, strengthens urban competitiveness, and promotes the strategy of regional sustainable development. Based on the panel data of 10 cities in Ha-Chang urban agglomeration from 2000 to 2014, this paper establishes an evaluation index-system of population and land urbanization quality level, and analyzes the coordination degree, spatial heterogeneity, and spatiotemporal evolution of urbanization, through using the methods of range standardization, entropy weight model, and coupling coordination models. Results show that the quality of population and land urbanization was increasing gradually during the study period. However, the coordination degree between population and land urbanization rate is decreasing. The comprehensive level of population and land urbanization increasing yearly, from low-level coupling coordination reverse to high-level coupling stage. The quality differences between the population and land urbanization of the ten cities of the Ha-Chang urban agglomeration are significant. The radiation function of large-sized cities and the regulation of medium-sized cities are not strong, and the coordination degree of small-sized cities is low. In view of the coordinated status of the Ha-Chang urban agglomeration, differently size cities should propose corresponding urbanization development strategies to enhance the main function of the urban agglomeration.

“…Specifically, from the ecological dimension, this production mode has exerted too much pressure on the environment and broken the general laws of nature, leading to extreme weather and unusual nature activities. From the social dimension, this production mode has exposed human beings to serious industrial pollution such as air pollution, climate change, and heat island effect, which is threatening public health [58]. Meanwhile, from the economic dimension, this production mode has greatly decreased the efficiency of material and energy usage and produced a huge financial loss in light of the enormous scale of China's industrial sector.…”

Interaction between Higher Education Outputs and Industrial Structure Evolution: Evidence from Hubei Province, China

In China, the government has made great achievements in mass higher education and intended to promote sustainable economic and social development. However, China still lacks innovation today and is trapped in its low-value-added industrial dilemma. Therefore, this paper aimed to understand how higher education outputs and industrial structure evolution affect each other by analysing evidence from Hubei, China, from 2004 to 2013. This paper quantified higher education outputs into graduate scale, education advancement, and innovation outputs and quantified industrial structure evolution into industrial structure upgrading and industrial structure rationalisation. Next, we applied the Granger causality test, vector auto-regression model, impulse response function, and variance decomposition to explore the causal relationships, response styles, and contribution rates between the indicators. The findings are as follows: (i) industrial structure upgrading and rationalisation are the Granger reasons for education advancement, and innovation outputs and graduate scale are the Granger reasons for industrial structure rationalisation; (ii) industrial structure upgrading and rationalisation can promote education advancement both quickly and significantly, however, education advancement, in turn, does not contribute to industrial structure evolution; (iii) though the contribution of innovation outputs to industrial structure rationalisation is hysteretic, it is greater than that of the graduate scale.

“…As a tool for assessing two or more systems, the coupling coordination degree is a combination of the coupling degree and coordination degree. Coupling originates from physics and refers to the phenomenon in which two or more systems interact with each other in various ways to achieve synergies [70]. In this study, the coupling degree is the level of nonlinear relationships of mutual interactions between CTI.…”

Cultural tourism has received widespread attention for its role in promoting cultural heritage and economic growth. However, there is insufficient research regarding how to verify the synergy between culture and tourism and how to ensure its sustainability in the integration of the cultural and tourism industries (CTI). This study establishes an interdisciplinary composite analytical framework from the perspective of efficiency evaluation. China, a country that has advocated the integration of CTI since 2009, is the research setting. The findings indicate that the technical efficiency of the tourism industry has increased significantly since the involvement of the cultural industry. Meanwhile, economically underdeveloped regions have opportunities to catch up with developed regions in terms of technical efficiency, and they perform better in terms of sustainable productivity growth. Importantly, U-shaped and inverted U-shaped curves were found in the coordinate systems composed of groups comprising the coupling coordination degree and the efficiency-related index, respectively. This finding reveals the existence of a running-in effect in the integration process of CTI, thereby contributing to both theory and policy-making.Sustainability 2019, 11, 6607 2 of 20 arts, design, fashion, new media)" [8]. Thus, currently, the integration of culture and tourism is spreading and is omnipresent, and destinations rich in cultural and tourism resources usually have a high degree of consistency or overlap in the market [1,9,10]. Exploring and evaluating the synergy between culture and tourism is conducive to enhancing theoretical understanding, promoting joint marketing, and inspiring policy-making. However, there is still insufficient research regarding how to verify this synergy and how best to sustain it during the integration of the culture and tourism industries (CTI). Quantitative research in the related field only focuses on a single sector from an efficiency evaluation perspective [11][12][13] or on the degree of coupling coordination between them [14]; it is still rare to regard culture and tourism as industries and explore the synergy between them from an interdisciplinary point of view.By regarding the CTI together as a complete system or black box, in this study we established a composite evaluation framework consisting of three dimensions from the perspective of efficiency evaluation, to measure the technical efficiency, sustainable productivity growth, and coupling coordination degree. Specifically, the slacks-based measure (SBM) model of data envelopment analysis (DEA), the Malmquist index of total factor productivity (TFP), and the coupling coordination degree model were applied in the research. We further examined the impact of the cultural industry on efficiency and compared the relationships between various outcomes.This study utilized data from 31 Chinese provinces and regions from 2010 to 2016. There are several reasons why China is an ideal setting to study these issues. First, China is one of the world'...
