Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction: The importance of harmonious human-land dynamics and the practical value of investigating the interplay between demographic urbanization and land development. Methods: The study area (110 prefecture-level cities within the Yangtze River Economic Belt) and the integrative methodology employed (coupled coordination model, exploratory spatial data analysis, and fixed effects model). Results: The main findings, including the progression in the coupled coordination level, the spatial gradient, and the factors influencing the coupled coordination level. Discussion: Recommendations for surmounting institutional and policy impediments, fostering resource exchange, and facilitating the integrated evolution of human-land dynamics within the region.
