Spatial–Temporal Evolution and Influencing Mechanism of Coupling Coordination Level of Social–Ecological Systems in China’s Resource-Based Cities Under the Carbon Neutrality Goal... by Yunhui Zhang, Zhong Wang, Yanran Peng, Wei Wang, Chengxi Tian

“…The results show the following: (1) The comprehensive development level of the social system in China’s resource-based cities has a significant upward trend, while the comprehensive development level of the ecological system has a gentle upward trend, and the coupling and coordination level of the social–ecological system has a fluctuating upward trend. (2) There is obvious spatial differentiation between the comprehensive development level and the coupling coordination level of the social–ecological systems in resource-based cities in China, and the relative difference is gradually increasing. (3) The digital economy index, urbanization level, science and education investment, and population density are important factors affecting the coupling coordination level, and the interaction between digital economy index, urbanization level, and population density has a strong explanatory power in the differentiation of the coupling coordination level. …”
