The Space–Time Evolution of the Coupling and Coordinated Development of Public Cultural Services and Cultural Industries: A Case Study of 31 Regions in China

Abstract

The coordinated development of public cultural services (PCS) and cultural industries (CI) is conducive to sustainable regional development. Few studies focus on the coordinated development of PCS and CI. This study builds an evaluation index system for the coordinated development of PCS and CI and uses the entropy weight method, synchronous development model, coupling coordination model, and exploratory spatial data analysis method on 31 regions in China. It evaluates the synchronous development levels, coupling coordination levels, and spatial evolution characteristics of the coordinated development of PCS and CI from 2011 to 2020. The results are as follows: (1) The coordinated development level of PCS and CI has risen steadily. The leading type is dominant in space, with the leading type > synchronous type > lagging type. (2) The overall coupling degree is high. The high-level coupling in space is dominant. (3) The degree of coupling coordination has improved. Regions with good spatial and high-quality coordination are concentrated in the eastern, central, and coastal areas. (4) The coordinated development of PCS and CI shows positive spatial correlation agglomeration. The degree of agglomeration is increasing, mainly high high, forming an important growth region in the Yangtze River Delta economic region and its surroundings. Finally, we propose policy recommendations for the coordinated development of PCS and CI, and provide new ideas for the collaborative development of PCS and CI in China.

How Do Population Changes and Land Use Policies Affect the Relationship between the Urban Economy and Public Services?

“…T is the comprehensive evaluation index reflecting the overall synergistic effect of the two subsystems, and T = θ × U + γ × G, where θ + γ = 1 and θ and γ are the weights of the two subsystems. In this paper, the economy and public services are regarded as equal without difference, so the weight θ = weight γ = 0.5 [53]. The degree is divided according to the value of C [54].…”

A Quantitative Model to Measure the Level of Culture and Tourism Integration Based on a Spatial Perspective: A Case Study of Beijing from 2000 to 2022

“…Measuring the degree of culture and tourism integration has the potential to contribute to the sustainable development of global cultural tourism resources and promote highquality economic development. Thus, numerous scholars have attempted to measure it using the coupling coordination model [23][24][25]. The basis of the coupling coordination model is the establishment of an evaluation index based on the focus of the study and data availability.…”

“…The evaluation index system is usually set as three levels, and the first level index is divided into two dimensions: culture and tourism. Regarding the secondary indicators, various dimensions of the evaluation index are constructed from different perspectives, such as the integration subject, integration resources, and integration benefits [23][24][25]. Most existing coupling coordination models have been combined with the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) [26,27], which is often limited by the ability and subjectivity of the researchers.…”

Evaluation of the Coupling Coordination Relationship Between Public Cultural Services and Smart Technology

“…Public cultural services and smart technology are an organic integration, coupled and promoted by each other, involving several subsystems. With the help of the coupling coordination degree model, the running state of each subsystem under mutual promotion can be clearly analyzed [3]. At present, how to evaluate the integrated development of public cultural services and smart technology is still under discussion and exploration, and related issues urgently need further systematic research.…”
