| Summary: | This study constructs a comprehensive evaluation index system for the three systems of digital technology, ecological civilisation construction, and economic and social development based on the panel data of five provinces in Northwest China (Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, and Xinjiang) and five provinces in East China (Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, and Jiangxi) from 2011 to 2022. By applying the entropy method to calculate the comprehensive score of each province and further constructing the three-dimensional system coupling coordination degree model, the synergistic evolution process between the digital process, ecological civilisation construction, and economic and social development in Northwest and East China is analysed. The results show that East China’s comprehensive score and coupling coordination degree in each system are significantly higher than that of Northwest China, and exhibit a high-high type of spatial agglomeration pattern, while Northwest China has long been in a low-low type of spatial agglomeration state, showing strong regional imbalance. Based on the study results, this paper puts forward policy recommendations to promote the coordinated development of the Northwest region, with a view to providing a reference for high-quality and balanced development between regions. |
