Currently, there are opposing views on the issue of whether financial support plays a role in improving the human settlement. This article is dedicated to exploring the mutual influence of financial support and the improvement of human settlements from the perspective of coupling effects, and determining the characteristics of coupling and coordination to promote the sustainable development of China and developing countries. This paper uses the entropy method and the coupling coordination model to estimate the coupling and coordination types of financial support and human settlements in seven provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River from 2005 to 2018. In addition, the spatial autocorrelation model is adopted to determine the spatial agglomeration characteristics of the coupling and coordination of financial support and human settlements. All in all, this paper believes that financial support has improved the human settlements, and that there is a coupling effect. Specifically, the coupling coordination value of financial support and human settlements fluctuated from 0.034 to 0.436, showing an inverted U-shaped development trend as a whole. In addition, the correlation between financial support and the improvement of the human settlements is currently in the stage of barely balanced development, and there is a gap between benign and coordinated development. Secondly, the coupling and coordination between financial support and human settlements has significant spatial agglomeration characteristics, and the coupling effect in the eastern region is weaker than that in the western region. In particular, Jiangxi was mainly distributed as high to high agglomeration, and Jiangsu was mainly distributed as high to low agglomeration. It has formed a coupling and coordinated development area with Jiangsu-Jiangxi as the axis, radiating the development of adjacent areas. This research reveals the heterogeneity of financial support to the improvement of human settlements in different regions, portrays the coupling characteristics of financial support and the improvement of human settlements, and provides ideas for the coordinated development of the two.

Is There Coupling Effect between Financial Support and Improvement of Human Settlement? A Case Study of the Middle and Lower Regions of the Yangtze River, China

The study determines the coupling degree of green investment and green ecology in China using kernel density estimation, spatial autocorrelation analysis, and standard deviation ellipse model to empirically evaluate the data of 30 Chinese provinces from 2005 to 2019. Moreover, the study investigates the temporal evolution trend, spatial clustering characteristics, and spatial evolution trend of coupling degree. Although the coupling coordination value of green investment and green ecology gradually increased, it is generally at a low coordination stage. At the same time, regional disparities narrowed with the most significant variability in the eastern region. Moreover, results found that the aggregation effect of the coupling and coordination of green investment and green ecology is more significant, and the high-value aggregation area extended from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River to the midstream region, while the western region is dominated by low-value aggregation. Similarly, the degree of synergy between green investment and green ecology is increased; however, the fragmentation trend is inevitable. At the same time, the center of gravity of coupling coordination shifted to the western regions, and the spatial pattern gradually weakened in the “northeast-southwest” direction. The findings of the study stress that local governments of China should improve the green investment system for green ecological development in the surrounding areas of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. Moreover, it is required to focus on the Northeast revitalization and Western development strategies to promote the synergistic development of green investment and green ecology.

Study on the coupling coordination and pattern evolution of green investment and ecological development: Based on spatial econometric model and China’s provincial panel data

On the background of regional economic integration and eco-environment developing being researched as a popular topic,how to coordinate the two systems includes the sustainable development of a country or regionEspecially the coupling and harmonious development is a key issue in the sustainable development On the basic of 20 indicators of the two systems and through employing models of coordination degrees and method of weighted entropy value,the paper evaluates the regional economic integration level and eco-environment level from 1991 to 2010 at the national level The result shows that the process of regional economic integration has being speeding up in the recent 20 years,the level of ecology and environmental reveals a general fluctuation trend of "one up and one down and one up" While the coupling and coordinated degree has achieved the stable and continuous improvement In the provincial research scales,the paper analyzed the regional economic integration and eco-environment coupling and coordinated development in China's 31 provinces in 1991,2000,2010 at the time-space dimensions The results show that the levels of regional economic integration and eco-environment systems and the cou pling degree exist obvious regional difference
