Abstract: This study focuses on the coordination between regional economic and ecological resilience in developing countries, constructing an integrated research framework of "resilience assessment–coupling coordination measurement–influencing factor ranking–policy simulation." Using the Yangtze River Economic Belt as a typical case, this research conducts a multidimensional quantitative evaluation of economic and ecological resilience within the region. The findings reveal a common contradiction: regions with weak economic foundations generally exhibit economic resilience lagging behind ecological resilience. By employing a coupling coordination model, this study quantitatively characterizes the synergy between economic and ecological systems and identifies key driving factors for regional coordination through grey relational analysis. Furthermore, system dynamics-based policy simulation results indicate that precise and targeted economic policies significantly enhance regional coupling coordination in the long term, providing theoretical evidence to address the "pollution first, treatment later" dilemma. These findings offer a novel theoretical perspective and practical pathway for developing countries to establish green and sustainable regional development models.
