Accelerating the formation and development of new quality productive forces is an inevitable requirement for social and economic development. This paper constructs a comprehensive index system of the new quality productive forces (NQPF) from two dimensions: the realistic basis and the realistic performance of the NQPF. It determines the weights of the indexes using the projection tracing model optimized by genetic algorithm,measures the NQPF level in 30 provincial-level regions of China from 2013 to 2022,and analyzes the spatial pattern and evolution characteristics of provincial-level NQPF in China over the past decade using the methods of Dagum-Gini coefficient,Kernel's density estimation,Moran's I,gravitational model and so on. The results show that: 1) The level of China's provincial-level NQPF shows the characteristic of gradient development which is higher in the east of China and lower in the west of China. 2) The level of NQPF is increasing across regions,while the differences are gradually decreasing. The spatial pattern between provincial-level regions shows the characteristics of "low-high" and "high-low" agglomeration. 3) The intensity of gravitational correlation between provincial-level regions is becoming more complicated and dense,and is roughly proportional to the level of NQPF. The research holds great practical significance for improving the NQPF level and promoting high-quality economic development.

Enterprises are the main contributors to carbon emissions, improving their carbon performance is an important focus for achieving the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals and promoting high-quality economic and social development. Based on the micro data of A-share listed companies from 2008 to 2021, this article constructs a multiphase difference-in-difference model to examine the impact mechanism and effect of low-carbon city pilot policy implementation on the carbon performance of enterprise. It's found that: 1) The low-carbon city pilot policy significantly promoted the improvement of enterprise's carbon performance, with a marginal effect of 0.232. 2) The low-carbon city pilot policy has a more prominent promoting effect on the carbon performance of state-owned enterprises, enterprises in the eastern region, and non-heavy polluting industries. 3) The low-carbon city pilot policy promotes the carbon performance of enterprises through mechanisms such as improving their level of green technology innovation and promoting environmental information disclosure. The geographical location has produced a significant moderating effect between low-carbon city pilot policy and enterprise's carbon performance. In order to comprehensively promote the low-carbon transformation and carbon performance improvement of enterprises, it should further optimize environmental policies, encourage green technology innovation, strengthen environmental information disclosure, and balance regional and industry differences in policy implementation

The uneven spatial distribution and agglomeration of economic geographic space is the normal state,the agglomeration advantages of the core areas makes the innovation research in core areas become the mainstream,innovation in peripheral regions is often neglected and underestimated. However,in recent years, there has been a rise in innovative activity in peripheral regions, which has attracted the attention and explanation of academic circles. The current research investigates innovation in peripheral regions from multidisciplinary perspectives. However, there is still no consensus on the conceptual definition,innovation trajectories,and other related aspects. Additionally,there is no systematic literature review or mechanism explanation. Therefore,this paper conducts a comprehensive examination of innovation in peripheral regions,elucidating the meaning of "periphery", defining the behavior of "innovation in peripheral regions", and creatively constructs an analytical framework to comprehend the trajectories of innovation in peripheral regions via "internal,external,and systemic innovation". Innovation in peripheral regions necessitates the synchronized alignment of regional initiative,the external environment,and regional capability. In addition to exploring its own capabilities and taking proactive measures to achieve "internal innovation",it also needs to incorporate new external knowledge to achieve "external innovation" and embed itself into the system to reach multi-scale "systemic innovation".

The urban-rural integrated development model represents a comprehensive paradigm. It is shaped by market forces and policy instruments, designed to facilitate bidirectional flows of production factors, ensuring equal exchange, fair resource sharing, and fostering mutual prosperity between urban and rural regions. The pursuit of innovative models of urban-rural integrated development is pivotal to achieve urban-rural integration in China. Based on a systematical review of global urban-rural integrated development practice models and extensive fieldworks, this study focuses on typical cases from national urban-rural integration pilot areas and proposes six typical practical models: the Extended-Chain and Strengthened-Chain Model for urban-rural industrial integration, the Equal Legal Price and Equal Market Rights Model for urban-rural construction land integration,the Unified Construction and Distribution for urban-rural infrastructure integration, the Same Standards, Equal Benefit Model for urban-rural public services integration, the Village Super League Model for integrating urban-rural cultural, tourism and sports,and the Delimitation of Property Rights Model for rural homestead land reform. These models offer successful paradigms applicable to nationwide urban-rural integration practices. However, there is no one-size-fits-all model for urban-rural integrated development, as these models display regional and developmental stage heterogeneity. These experience should be learned from but not rigidly replicated.

This study establishes three road accessibility indicators based on the road network data in Chinese mainland, and analyzes the spatial characteristics and evolution of the road accessibility in 334 cities of China from 1980 to 2019. The results show that: 1) From 1980 to 2019, the average value of geographic accessibility decreased from 47.60 hours to 17.92 hours. Thereinto, the reduction in average travel distance contributed 8.7%, while the increase in average travel speed contributed 91.3%. 2) The geographic accessibility and the overall economic accessibility both show a "core-periphery" feature, and the regions with fastest improvement in the above two indicators coincide with the regions with high economic growth potential. However, the highest road accessibility regions are not the most developed regions. 3) The regional economic accessibility shows that cities with advanced accessibility locate in a belt-like regions along the eastern coastal region and disperse in inland region. Regions with superior regional economic accessibility mostly overlap with the most economic developed areas. Therefore, it is necessary to choose different indicators to analyze the impact of road transportation network on the economy.

Developing new quality productive forces (NQPF) tailored to local conditions is a fundamental requirement for advancing high-quality development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,China has gradually formed a NQPF strategic framework integrating policy support,factor allocation,and industry guidance. This paper systematically examines the evolution and spatial organization of NQPF,identifies their spatial distribution from the perspective of source-sink functions,and explores strategic positioning and policy guidance for different functional types,including development centers,sources,reservoirs,and hinterlands. Research findings are as following: 1) The development of NQPF exhibits the spatial convergence of industry and innovation,spatial dependence on locational advantages,and diversification of factor flow patterns. These effects contribute to the regional source-sink functions of factor coupling,efficacy differentiation,and scale nesting. 2) During the study period,the sink and source functions of NQPF in China exhibited an uneven distributionpattern that is higher in the north of China than that in the south of China,and higher in the south of China than that in the north of China,respectively. It forms eastern,southern,northern,and western functional zones. Therefore,it is essential to implement policies that align with the development orientation and resource endowment of different regions,foster a combination of source-sink functions,leverage complementary advantages,and coordinate cross-regional layouts to achieve high-quality regional coordination and development.

This article constructs a comprehensive evaluation index system of the development level of new quality productive forces. Based on the super-efficiency SBM-DEA model,the entropy weight-TOPSIS method,exploratory spatial data analysis methods,and spatiotemporal geographical weighted regression models,it analyzes the evolution characteristics and influencing factors of China's new quality productive forces from 2013 to 2022,and explores the spatiotemporal differences in the impact of different influencing factors. It's found that: 1) The development level of new quality productive forces shows an upward trend,with a spatial distribution pattern of "high in the east of China and low in the west of China", and significant spatial differences in the level of new quality productive forces. 2) The development of new quality productive forces exhibits significant positive spatial autocorrelation and spatial clustering,with high-high clustering areas mainly located in the eastern coastal regions and low-low clustering areas mainly in the western regions. The absolute spatial differences in new quality productive forces have expanded in recent years. 3) Economic, educational, policy, and resource factors influence new qualitative productivity. Domestic economic development levels, foreign trade levels, overall educational investment levels, higher education development levels, and the overall policy focus have a positive impact on new qualitative productivity, while the availability of water resources and mineral resources has an overall negative impact. Additionally, the influence of various factors varies across time and space.

Promoting coordinated regional development is an important approach to basically achieving modernization with Chinese characteristics. On the basis of summarizing the new trends and referential experiences of regional coordinated development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period in China, this article puts forward four laws of economic geography that are applicable to the current stage of regional coordinated development in our country. Specifically: 1) National modernization and coordinated regional development are symbiotic, there exists no national modernization with pronounced disparities in inter-regional economic development levels. 2) The structural characteristics of regional geographical functions and the redistribution process of economic gains among regions determine the equilibrium state of living standards and economic development levels between urban and rural areas and among regions. 3) The different from the period of building a moderately prosperous society is that human resources and technological progress have become dominant and decisive factors in the economic development processes of both developed and underdeveloped regions during the modernization period. 4) Regionally differentiated development relying on comparative advantages serves as the cornerstone for enhancing the overall efficacy of national modernization, and increasing the value of ecological products is the key focus of institutional reform for promoting coordinated regional development. Finally, this article also conducts an initial discussion on the adaptive strategies for promoting coordinated regional development during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period.

This study employs various complex network methods to characterize the evolution of the global lithium resource trade network on a long-time scale, analyze the network's topological structure,and reveal its resilience. The findings include as follows: 1) The overall scale of global lithium resource trade shows a steady development followed by rapid growth, with lithium carbonate trade obviously surpassing lithium hydroxide. 2) The scale and density of global lithium resource trade network continue to increase,gradually form a trade pattern dominated by a few core countries,characterized by clear hierarchical features and spatial imbalance. 3) Chile and Argentina are exporters of lithium resources with global influence. China, Japan, South Korea, the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Russia, and Canada have long-term core positions. 4) The backbone structure of the global lithium resource trade network is continually enriched and expanded,demonstrating a development trend with a few countries as core nodes connecting regional trade groups. 5) The resilience of the global lithium resource trade network is declining, with a few countries and trade relations playing a decisive role in the network's structural connectivity. There is a crisis of potential collapse in the lithium resource trade network after facing shocks. Based on the above, this paper proposes policy recommendations to promote China's lithium resource trade cooperation and ensure the security of lithium resource supply.

It is an urgent practical problem to coordinate the spatial conflict between production,living and ecological (PLE) and to optimize the territorial space in the current academic frontier and territorial space planning. Based on an overview of the research progress on spatial conflict and conflict risk, this article preliminarily establishes the logical main line of the research on PLE space conflict risk by focusing on the construction of basic theories,identification and evaluation,driving mechanism,optimization and regulation. It combines with the multi-function of land use and the framework of social-ecological system(SES),and deeply analyzes the formation mechanism of PLE space conflict risk and its occurrence from the dimensions of management-control and spatial form. This article condenses the conceptual connotation of PLE space conflict risk,and establishes the classification system of PLE space conflict risk. In the construction of the method system,this paper puts forward the assessment path of the PLE spatial conflict risk,the research path of the PLE space conflict risk driving mechanism and the PLE space optimization path based on the conflict risk. In the future, it should start from strengthening the research on PLE spatial conflict risk in small and medium-sized space units,and strengthen the research on PLE spatial conflict risk in the aspects of in-depth exploration of the application scenarios of PLE spatial risk in territorial space plans, and the development of intelligent supervision platform of PLE spatial conflict risk.

Rapid urbanization has resulted in the reorganization of rural social space and the change of residential morphologies, as well as practical problems such as rural social differentiation and spatial imbalance. Understanding the logical mechanism driving changes in rural residential morphologies has become a crucial pathway for promoting new-type urbanization and rural vitalization. This paper explores the conceptual framework of the changes of rural residential morphologies, describes the process, characteristics and mechanism of the changes of rural residential morphologies, as well as its coupling relationship and mutual feeding mechanism with rural spatial transformation. It further discusses strateges for managing these changes in rural residential morphologies along with related plans for spatial governance transformation. The conclusions are drawn as follows: 1) The new-type urbanization putting people first leads to the changes of rural population flow and migration mode, and further leads to the rapid reorganization of rural social space and the drastic changes in residential forms. 2) The new-type urbanization process drives the changes of rural residential morphologies through four evolution stages: the change of housing pattern, the inefficient use of housing, the deviation of housing function and the idle of housing. Economic element, socio-cultural element and urban-rural policies have direct driving role, indirect influence role and macro-guiding role respectively. 3) The changes of rural residential morphologies promote the transformation of rural living, production, ecological and cultural spaces, and the coupled and interconnected mutual feed mechanism makes all kinds of spaces also exert influences on rural residential morphologies. 4) Under the guidance of smart development, the scientific preparation of village spatial planning is needed, as well as the use of digital technology to achieve rural cross-border governance. Promoting the diversified governance by boosting the urban-rural integrated development and improving the mechanism of rural spatial governance are the trends of spatial governance transformation for the in-depth implementation of the strategies of new-type urbanization and rural vitalization.

This study analyzes the coupling coordination mechanism between green development and common prosperity in the Yellow River basin,and uses the coupling coordination degree model to measure the coupling coordination relationship between green development efficiency and common prosperity development in the Yellow River basin from 2011 to 2020. It analyzes the spatial-temporal evolution characteristics and influencing factors of the coupling coordination degree between green development and common prosperity using the exploratory spatial data analysis and the geographical detector. The research shows that: 1) The green development efficiency in the Yellow River basin exhibited slow growth and fluctuation from 2011 to 2020,with a spatial gradient pattern of "downstream > midstream > upstream". The common prosperity index showed a steady upward trajectory of evolution,and its spatial distribution evolved from a low-level equilibrium pattern to a high-level imbalance pattern. 2) The coupling coordination degree between green development and common prosperity in the Yellow River basin demonstrated an upward fluctuation trend,forming a "center-periphery" circle structure with provincial capital city as the high-level coordination center in space. The coupling coordination degree between green development and common prosperity has positive spatial autocorrelation,and has the spatial club convergence effect characterized by high-high agglomeration and low-low agglomeration,but it tended towards weakening spatial autocorrelation. 3) Financial development,sci-tech- innovation,digital economy and urbanization level are the leading factors driving the spatial differentiation of the coupling coordination between green development and common prosperity in the Yellow River basin. There is a significant spatial heterogeneity in the effect strength of the influencing factors on the coupling coordination degree,and the explanatory power of each factor interaction has the characteristics of double factor enhancement and nonlinear enhancement.

Maritime service is the link to realize trade circulation and economic globalization. Distinguishing the actual status of maritime service trade in various countries is of practical significance to promote the virtuous cycle of trade and the stable development of shipping industry,and quantitatively identify the pattern and characteristics of maritime service trade. Therefore,this article uses the social network method to explore the topological characteristics and evolutionary laws of the global maritime service trade network. The results show that: 1) In terms of the evolution of network structure characteristics,the network density increases from 0.143 to 0.241 during the sample period,and the network of maritime trade services tends to be complicated and dense,with the characteristics of core edge hierarchy,small world and polarization,while scale-free is not obvious. The Pearson correlation coefficients of node degree and strength degree are -0.4780~-0.3930 and -0.0206~-0.0155,respectively. The trade network of maritime service is a typical heterogeneous network. The frequency of appearance of GCX,F8X,and FKX motifs is relatively high in each year,export structure and reciprocal structure are the important modes of maritime service trade,while highly centralized trade mode is not prominent. 2) From the perspective of each country's network status and role,core countries such as the United States,Germany and Japan play an absolute leading role in the network,South Asia is a low-value trade agglomeration area,it shows a spatial pattern dominated by Europe,Asia and North America. The node degree centrality of China and India is gradually improved,and the network status of emerging economies is obviously enhanced. Singapore is the hub of maritime service trade,Germany and the United States are major exporters of maritime service trade,Japan,the United Kingdom and Thailand tend to assume the role of import initiator,and China as the core country and intermediate node plays an important role in transmission.

Media geography provides a unique research perspective for the analysis of urban space in the media context by exploring the interrelationship and interaction law of "people-media-geography". In the era of intelligent media, media has become a key role in constructing and disseminating the image of urban space, and the spatial practice of media has opened up a new way for people to perceive space, and promoted and formed new spatio-temporal and social relations. Taking the Chang'an Theme Street of Twelve Double-hour Periods as an example, this paper analyzes consumers' spatial perception, and explores the role of media in the representation and construction of urban net celebrity consumption space. It's shown that: 1) Consumers' spatial perception of Chang'an Theme Street of Twelve Double-hour Periods is mainly concentrated in five dimensions: physical space,Tang Dynasty culture,space subject,personal experience and media means. 2) The joint participation of different spatial subjects completes the spatial construction of the street,and the medium plays an important role in this process. 3) Media enhances the "visibility" of the space while weakening the "authenticity", and the excessive imitation of the space practice by consumers may alienate the space into a background board for taking pictures, making some spaces lose their original value.

Clarifying the impact mechanism of spatial qualities on regional price levels and improving the mechanism of spatial qualities leading to talent regional migration will, to some extent, enrich and develop existing theories in New Spatial Economics. This article constructs a analysis framework of New Spatial Economics to explain the formation mechanism of quality premium, that is, spatial qualities drives the total price index up through industrial product premium. Furthermore, it empirically explores whether the quality premium exists and whether it exhibits non-linear effects due to threshold effect. The study finds that: 1) Spatial qualities significantly improves regional price levels, confirming the existence of the quality premium phenomenon. 2) There is a threshold effect of quality premium based on economic development, talent scale, and urbanization, all of which show a trend of gradually increasing quality premium. 3) There are differences in the trend of quality premium in ecological environment, public services, cultural and entertainment amenities, and infrastructure.

This paper explores the theoretical logic of rural tourism promoting rural revitalization based on the ecological-production-living space theory,constructs a performance measurement index system of rural revitalization,measures and analyzes the performance of rural tourism promoting rural revitalization applying entropy-weighted TOPSIS method and natural breakpoints method,and adopts fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to further analyze its influencing factors. The results show that: 1) As a whole,the performance of China's rural tourism promoting rural revitalization varies greatly between regions,showing a decreasing pattern from the eastern region to the western region. 2) According to the spatial sextile map of 2010-2022,the areas with high-level performance show a shift from point-like dispersion to agglomeration distribution pattern,the performance levels of some prefecture-level cities show a fluctuating trend. 3) In terms of the rural tourism types,the stronger location radiation effects in the eastern region obscure the impact of rural tourism types on rural revitalization performance,and the scenic area-dependent type in the western region and the cultural heritage type in the central region have greater revitalization performance. 4) In terms of the grouping analysis of influencing factors,the interaction of nine influencing factors forms four types of high-level and low-level revitalization performance grouping path modes,namely,"guarantee type of support condition","consolidation type of cultural foundation", "limitation type of source market" and " defective type of environmental quality assurance". Based on the above results,this paper proposes the enhancement path of rural revitalization under tourism practice from five dimensions: government, industry, market, enterprise and community.

Research on urban innovation network is an interdisciplinary field that encompasses studies on both urban network and innovation network. In recent years,there has been a growing focus on Chinese urban innovation network,which has been featured by the following characteristics: 1) Chinese urban innovation network has the basic characteristics of multiple geographical scales and types. Studies have been mainly conducted at the provincial, regional, and national levels, in addition to some multi-scalar studies. The types of intercity innovation linkages mainly include technological collaboration,technology transfer,talent mobility,headquarters branches,innovation gravity,and a combination of multiple indicators. 2) The organizational structure of Chinese urban innovation network has been extensively explored in terms of topological and spatial structures. The topology exhibits a typical core-periphery structure that transitions from a single-core structure to a multi-core structure. The spatial structure mainly presents a diamond-shaped pattern with the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration,the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration as vertices. However, there are still certain differences in the organizational structure characteristics of innovation networks among different types. 3) It mainly analyzes the formation mechanisms of Chinese urban innovation network from the perspectives of multidimensional proximity, network position, and socioeconomic attributes. However, the role of innovation entities at the micro level has received relatively little attention. 4) Although external effects play a crucial role in the generation of value within the Chinese urban innovation network, research in this area is still at early stages. Overall, research on Chinese urban innovation network has been faced with the following issues: an overemphasis on empirical studies to the neglect of theoretical development, an overemphasis on single-case studies to the neglect of comparative researches, an overemphasis on macro-level analysis to the neglect of micro-level analysis, an overemphasis on structural aspects to the neglect of network effects, an overemphasis on foundational research to the neglect of practical applications. These issues have hindered the sustainable development of research on Chinese urban innovation network and, more broadly,urban network studies. In the context of rapid global technological progress and the comprehensive implementation of national innovation-driven development strategies, there remains much ground to cover in researching the Chinese urban innovation network. In addressing the existing issues of "emphasizing five aspects while neglecting the other five perspectives", this paper provides an outlook for future research on Chinese urban innovation network in terms of basic theory, dimension comparison and coupling,micro-level mechanisms, external effects and performance assessment, and practical applications.

Based on the essential requirements of Chinese path to modernization, this paper explores the basic logic and innovative path of territorial spatial planning, and provides references for building an inclusive, sustainable, and resilient territorial spatial planning system. It uses the theoretical analysis and inductive-deductive method to discuss the basic relationship and innovation path of the territorial spatial planning system in the future. The research results are as follows: 1) The territorial spatial planning in the process of Chinese path to modernization needs to coordinate five basic relationships: the relationship between human civilization form and planning value orientation, the relationship between energy and resource security and planning goal setting, the relationship between sci-technological revolution and planning connotation iteration, the relationship between climate change and planning function synergy, and the relationship between political and economic pattern and planning paradigm change. 2) The innovation path of a future-oriented territorial spatial planning system needs to coordinate five innovative paths, including "modernity" and "localization" of value radius, "common divisor" and "common multiple" of the target system, "synchronic" and "diachrony" of the connotation logic, "topology" and "relativity" of the functional attributes, "typification" and "normalization" of paradigm features. 3) There is an urgent need to grasp three new directions in the development of the territorial spatial planning system to meet future trends. The first is the theoretical construction of the future territorial spatial planning system in the context of Chinese path to modernization. The second is the practical exploration of the future territorial spatial planning system for the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. The third is the scientific limits of the future territorial spatial planning system, the relationship between subject and object, the expansion of spatial principles in different application scenarios, technical innovation, and conceptual transformation.

Urban economic convergence is a significant criterion for judging the achievement of common prosperity. Based on the panel data of 285 cities in China from 2003 to 2022, this paper tests the convergence of urban economic growth in China using spatial error model (SEM), spatial Markov chain and kernel density estimation. It's found that: 1) There was an unconditional convergence trend in urban economic growth rate. Specifically, the convergence rates accelerated after controlling urban scale, financial situation, economic structure, economic openness, public service level and spatial error term. 2) The variation of urban economic level was gradually decreasing, but this trend mainly came from catching up with those cities outside the province, while the inter-city economic gaps of some provinces expanded during some periods. 3) The convergence of urban economy shows the global characteristic, and the three convergence clubs in eastern, central and western regions not only have convergence trends within themselves, but also have common convergence trends among clubs. 4) Urban economic convergence is dynamic. It divides urban economic development level into five categories in 2003 according to the quartile: lower level, low level, medium level, high level and higher level, which converges to steady states of 5%, 12%, 17%, 41% and 25% respectively after 100 times of Markov transition. The findings indicate that government financial behavior and market factor flow affect urban economic convergence, the complementarity of market mechanism and administrative mechanism helps to promote a higher level of dynamic and global common prosperity in the sense of economic geography.

Based on the basic logic and internal relationship of the value realization of ecological products in national parks,this paper proposes the mechanism and model of the value realization of ecological products in national parks according to the logic of "product type-core mechanism-implementation method-goal orientation". The value realization mechanism of ecological products in national parks mainly includes value compensation mechanism and agency mechanism, the value realization models of ecological products in national parks mainly include franchise model,brand value-added model,ecological compensation model,mortgage loan model for easement income, and carbon sink trading model,which is to enrich the franchise business models of national parks through ecotourism,science popularization education, and other means, achieve national park brand value-added through standardized production and information technology,promote ecological compensation through differentiated compensation and institutional guarantees, improve the green financial product system of national parks through mortgage and pledge of servitude rights,and promote the conversion of carbon sink value through project development and indicator certification. Therefore,it should improve the mechanisms and models for the value realization of national park ecological products from the aspects of classification compensation,benefit sharing, factor flow,and digital empowerment, in order to form a systematic and complete national park value compensation and agency system,and promote the scientific protection and rational utilization of natural resource assets,as well as the realization of multi-dimensional value of national park ecological products.

On the basis of clarifying the mechanism of cultural ecosystem services(CESs) promoting cultural and tourism integration,this article takes Lyushunkou District of Dalian City as a case area,based on the POI data and social media data,and applies MaxEnt model and bivariate spatial autocorrelation analysis to quantitatively analyze the development status of cultural tourism integration. Combined with the image and sentiment analysis of online review data,it explores the spatial changes of cultural and tourism integration in the improvement of environmental factors,and proposes management suggestions to promote the development of cultural and tourism integration. The results show that: 1) The coverage ratio of recreational services in the region is significantly higher than that of cultural heritage services. It has a higher level of cultural and tourism integration in central and southwestern regions,accounting for 16.06% of the total area. 2) The main perceptions of tourists in Lyushunkou District are four aspects: landscape quality,recreational behavior,emotional experience and scenic spot management,the main factors leading to negative emotions include imperfect infrastructure,low transportation convenience,and poor professionalism of staff. 3) The road traffic opening between Dalian and Lyushunkou District has a significant effect on improving the level of cultural and tourism integration in Lyushunkou District. The coverage and volume of cultural heritage services and recreational services have increased significantly,and the area of areas with a high level of cultural and tourism integration has increased by 4.11%. Revealing the close relationship between public perception and cultural tourism integration from the perspective of CESs can provide theoretical and empirical support for improving people's livelihood and well-being and realizing the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

This paper explains the connotation of common prosperity from two dimensions: prosperity and sharing,constructs the index system of county-level common prosperity,measures and evaluates the county-level common prosperity index of Zhejiang,and analyzes its regional differences. The results showed that: 1) From the overall evaluation,the county-level common prosperity index has obvious tier differences in Zhejiang. 2) In terms of sub-evaluation of county-level common prosperity,Zhejiang counties can be divided into four types: common prosperity type,prosperity type,relatively lagging type,and priority sharing type. 3) From the multi-scale spatial evaluation,there are obvious regional differences in all the county-level common prosperity indices of Zhejiang,with a higher level of common prosperity in the northeast of Zhejiang and a lower level of common prosperity in the southwest of Zhejiang. 4) From the spatial distribution pattern,there are significant spatial clustering characteristics of the county-level common prosperity index in Zhejiang by the combined effect of centripetal force and centrifugal force,and spatial spillover follows the law of distance attenuation.

The concept of human capital provides an important research perspective for understanding the relationship between industry and people. The spatial coordinated evolution between human capital and industrial structure is of great significance in optimizing resource allocation and stimulating regional development potential. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is in the crucial period of industrial structure upgrading and innovation-driven development. This study demonstrates the spatial pattern evolution of the human capital level and industrial structure upgrading level at the county level, and explores their spatial coupling and synergy. The results show that: 1) The levels of human capital and industrial structure upgrading in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region have been increasing rapidly in 2000-2020, resulting in the average degree of coupling coordination between them in this region transmitted from low-level coordinating stage to medium-level coordinating stage. 17% of counties reached the high-level coordinating stage, mainly distributed in municipal districts around large cities such as Beijing and Tianjin. 2) The spatial pattern of the degree of coupling coordination presents the core-periphery structure, which means that human capital and industrial structure upgrading have a spatially interacted impact. This relationship can be hampered by the administrative boundary and has been enhanced in the north of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region while reduced in the south of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. 3) Although the level of educational human capital has been increasing rapidly, the spatial polarization is still within the region, indicating the spatial mismatch between education and industry is the main challenge to achieving regional synergistic development. The results provide suggestions and references for allocating regional human capital rationally and promoting the high-quality development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

Based on the check-in spot data shared by users of Xiaohongshu platform and the POI data of Amap, this study explores the spatial distribution of urban Internet-famous recreational spaces (IRSs) and physical recreational spaces (PRSs) and their differences in main urban area of Changsha by the means of spatial analysis methods, and reveals its formation mechanisms using the grounded theory method according to online texts and interview transcripts. The results indicate that: 1) Overall, IRSs in Changsha's main urban area exhibit the distribution trend of a northeast-southwest orientation, while PRSs exhibit the distribution trend of a northwest-southeast orientation. The clustering intensity and scale distance of IRSs are both weaker than that of PRSs, showing a "polar-core with multiple points" distribution pattern with distinct core-periphery characteristics, while PRSs display a "single-core with multi-centered patchy" distribution. 2) Compared with PRSs, The high-cluster areas of IRSs in Changsha have notably shifted westward, primarily concentrating in high-vitality public recreational areas such as urban waterfronts, suburban mountainous regions, and commercial district. 3) The formation of IRSs' distribution characteristics is the result of the joint action of human-media-place and other factors. The characteristics and charms of urban PRSs provide a physical basis for the formation of IRSs' distribution characteristics. The popularity and influence of social media have strengthened the formation of IRSs' distribution characteristics, the change of the psychology and behavioural patterns of tourists is an important trigger for the formation of IRSs' characteristics. Based on the above, this research proposes specific measures for shaping IRSs from the perspectives of human, media, and place respectively.

This article re-adjusts the calculation formula for the labor income share, estimates the labor income share of China's provincial-level regions from 1978 to 2017, calculates the bias parameters of technological progress in each provincial-level regions using a standardized supply-side system approach,and conducts a trend analysis of the labor income share across provincial-level regions. It uses the Dagum Gini coefficient to depict the evolution pattern of inter-provincial differences in China's labor income share,and analyzes its sources. Based on the spatial econometric method,it explores the reasons behind the formation of the spatial distribution pattern of factor income. It's found that: 1) The overall spatial distribution pattern of labor income share exhibits a trend,which is the highest in the west of China,followed by central China and the east of China, the more developed region is, the lower the labor income share is. The spatial distribution patterns of depreciation and net production taxes in GDP are opposite to this trend,while the spatial distribution pattern of mixed income in GDP aligns with it. 2) The overall average trend of labor income share of all provincial-level regions showed an inverted U-shape,with the most obvious upward trend in Beijing and Shanghai and the most obvious downward trend in Xizang. Technological progress is biased toward capital in most provincial-level regions,which is a crucial factor contributing to the notable decline in the labor income share. 3) The Gini coefficient reflecting inter-provincial differences in labor income share remains relatively large. From the perspective of intra-regional disparities, the eastern region exhibits the largest internal gap, which is also showing a significant downward trend. In terms of inter-regional Gini coefficients,the disparities between the eastern and central regions, as well as between the eastern and western regions, are more pronounced,while the disparity between the central and western regions is relatively smaller. 4) Spatial econometric analysis reveals that industrial structure exerts a negative spatial spillover effect on labor income share.

Base on the panel data of 28 cities in urban agglomerations of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, this article empirically investigates the spatial effects of new-type urbanization affecting regional high-quality development from 2011 to 2022 adopting the entropy weight method, OLS model and spatial Durbin model. The results show that: 1) The new-type urbanization and regional high-quality development level centered on the three provincial capital cities of Wuhan, Changsha and Nanchang show a spatial pattern that radiates to the surrounding areas, and there is a significant development gap among different regions. 2) New-type urbanization has a significant role in promoting regional high-quality development,the improvement of financial development level,economic agglomeration levle and infrastructure level has a significant positive impact on regional high-quality development,while the improvement of informatization level and government intervention level has a significant negative impact on regional high-quality development. 3) The impact of new-type urbanization on regional high-quality development of urban agglomerations in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River has a significant spatial spillover effect, and the promotion of local high-quality development is stronger than the impact on neighboring regions.

High-tech enterprises have become important drivers of regional innovation activities,exhibiting spatial agglomeration characteristics. This study utilizes methods such as spatial autocorrelation,kernel density analysis,standard deviation ellipse,and multiscale geographic weighted regression(MGWR) model to investigate the distribution characteristics and influencing factors of high-tech enterprises in Beijing. The results indicate that: 1) The spatial autocorrelation of high-tech enterprises in Beijing initially increased and then weakened,with the overall spatial pattern showing little change and trending towards a stable stage of development. Different types of enterprises exhibited distinct clustering characteristics and each had their specific high-density clustering areas. 2) The multiscale geographic weighted regression model can adjust weights at different spatial scales,revealing the heterogeneity of high-tech enterprises at various scales more precisely. 3) Various factors exerted varying degrees of influence on the distribution of high-tech enterprises,displaying spatial heterogeneity. There were significant differences between the regression results of the MGWR model's global influencing factors and those obtained from classifying the enterprises by type. The research findings can provide a scientific basis for governments and enterprises to formulate scientific and reasonable industrial planning and innovation policies,guiding the high-quality development of the urban economy.

As an emerging agricultural model,the rice-crayfish co-cropping model is considered as a powerful attempt to achieve sustainable agricultural development. This study aims to explore the impact of the rice-crayfish co-cropping model on the comprehensive development benefits in local area from the perspective of the three-dimensional system of food security,economic development,and ecological protection. Taking Qianjiang City of Hubei Province as the study area,it constructs an evaluation index system of the comprehensive development level of food security,economic development and ecological protection,reveals the spatio-temporal changes of the comprehensive benefits of the three-dimensional system of food security,economic development and ecological protection in each township of Qianjiang City from 2016 to 2020 under the rice-crayfish co-cropping model,and explores its obstacle factors by the means of Kernel density estimation method,comprehensive evaluation model and obstacle degree model. The results showed that: 1) Under the rice-crayfish co-cropping model,the three-dimensional system development index of Qianjiang City showed a dynamic evolution during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period,and there were some absolute differences in each township's development level. 2) The comprehensive development benefits of the three-dimensional system show a decreasing trend with higher benefits in the west,east,and north of Qianjiang City than that in the center of Qianjiang City,economic development benefit and comprehensive benefits are more consistent with the spatial and temporal changes,while food security benefits and ecological protection benefits have opposite trends. 3) Economic development indicators have the greatest impact on comprehensive development benefits,followed by ecological protection indicators and food security indicators.

Examining the population change pattern and its influencing factors is an important foundation for promoting the construction of new-type urbanization with the county as the carrier and promoting the integrated development of urban and rural areas according to local conditions. This paper constructs an analytical framework of "pattern-scale-function-mechanism" of the demographic change of counties in the process of Chinese-style urban-rural modernization, and explores the internal logic of the demographic change of counties and urban-rural development in the process of Chinese-style urban-rural modernization. It comprehensively uses the methods of rank-size, specialization index and gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) to investigate the population change of counties, and explore the relevant influencing factors and their heterogeneity. It's found that: 1) The proportion of county population to urban population is declining, and the population loss of county is more serious in the north of China than that in the south of China, and is concentrated in the northeast region and the inter-provincial border areas. 2) The population size system of the counties exhibits the relatively flattened feature, the population change of counties in different types of main functional areas is not significant. The population growth is closely related to the distance from the central city in counties which are the urbanization areas and the main producing areas of agricultural products. 3) Economic development is the key factor affecting the population change of counties, its influence degree is constantly increasing, the impact of infrastructure and public services on population change in counties has not changed much and tends to be stable, the impact of policies and locations on population changes in counties is relatively limited, and the fluctuation degree of different factors on the population change of counties has obvious spatial heterogeneity.

Rural healthcare sojourn is the intersection and breakthrough point of the Healthy China and the Rural Revitalization,as well as an emerging industry development of China's western region in new era that will make tourism as a regional pillar industry. Taking the northwest of Yunnan as a case study area and each typical village as a research unit,this paper uses the maximum entropy model and geographic detector to integrate multi-source geospatial data to construct an evaluation index system of the ecological suitability of rural healthcare sojourn destinations,explain its spatial distribution,and explore the influencing factors and driving mechanism of spatial differentiation. The results show that: 1) In terms of spatial distribution,the ecological suitability of rural healthcare sojourn destinations in northwestern Yunnan generally presents a spatial pattern of "high in the southeast of research area and low in the northwest of research area",and forms a "dual core-radiation" area centered on Dali Baizu Autonomous Prefecture and Lijiang City,and a "mountain-water-village" healthcare sojourn structure. 2) In terms of influencing factors,the ecologically suitable areas of rural healthcare sojourn destinations are the result of a combination of factors such as topography,air quality,climate,hydrology, and wild food sources. 3) In terms of driving mechanism, elevation, slope, NDVI and the distance to river play a dominant role in the distribution of rural healthcare sojourn destinations in northwestern Yunnan. This paper not only expands the research on rural healthcare sojourn destinations,but also provides theoretical reference and practical suggestions for the high-quality development of rural healthcare sojourn destinations in northwestern Yunnan.

Based on the data of Baidu search index of ChatGPT from December 2022 to June 2023 this article analyzes the evolution characteristics and influence mechanism of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI for short) attention degree by the ArcGIS, multivariable linear regression model, and spatial econometric model. The results show that: 1） GenAI attention degree showed the inverted-V evolution trend in China during the research period. 2) GenAI attention degree had the characteristics of regional agglomeration, which initially showed the distribution of a giant block shape with the Shandong Peninsula, the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta as the cores, later evolved into the distribution of a small block shape. 3) Scientific and technological development, corporate development, advanced industrial structure, education level, degree of opening up, digital infrastructure and government support all had a significant positive effect on GenAI attention degree, and in addition to the digital infrastructure, the other influencing factors have the spatial spillover effect, which is the main reason for the regional aggregation of GenAI attention degree. Based on the research conclusions, this article proposes some suggestions that are increasing the technological investment and policy support for high-tech cities, establishing a high-level talent training system, improving relevant regulations and ethical standards to promote the development of GenAI industry and optimize the layout of high-tech industry.

Dominance degree of red resources which can reflect the regional red resource endowment and relative advantage is the material basis for the overall protection and utilization of red resources. Taking 1227 red resources belonging to the immovable cultural relics of Hunan Province as the research objects and the counties as the basic units, this article constructs a dominance degree measurement model of red resources from four aspects of richness degree, quality degree, agglomeration degree and accessibility degree, measures the dominance degree of red resources in Hunan Province comprehensively, and analyzes their spatial differentiation pattern. The results show that: 1) The red resources in Hunan Province show the agglomeration distribution pattern taking Sangzhi County as the high-density core area. 2) Richness degree and accessibility degree of red resources in Hunan Province are relatively high, but quality degree and agglomeration degree are relatively low. Furthermore, accessibility degree shows obvious "center-periphery" circular spatial distribution, while richness degree, quality degree and agglomeration degree of red resources mainly show scattered, clumpy, banded or sheet-like distribution. 3) The dominance degree of red resources in Hunan Province is at medium level, the quantitative structure of dominance degree of the county's red resources shows the fusiform characteristic. 4) The spatial pattern of the dominance degree of red resources in Hunan Province generally shows the pattern which is at high level in the eastern, central and southern Hunan, and at lower level in other areas.

Regional integration is an inevitable trend in the evolution of global spatial structures. The elimination of administrative boundaries, the facilitation of resource flow, and the assurance of economic smooth circulation are essential components of regional integration. This study focuses on the Fujian-Zhejiang-Jiangxi-Anhui Economic Cooperation Zone as a representative case,and uses the Barro regression model to measure the border effects in interprovincial border areas from 2010 to 2020. The findings are as follows: 1) Overall, there is still a border effect in interprovincial border areas,but it shows a trend towards regional integration,with the border effects gradually weakening over time, particularly along the Jiangxi-Zhejiang and Anhui-Jiangxi border areas where integration trends are less distinct. 2) There are three types of interprovincial border areas: integrated border type, border type with non-significant border effects,and border type with significant border effects. 3) The distance between cities significantly impacts regional integration,the integration degree of border areas with a longer geographical distance depends more on transportation conditions. From the aspects of institutional arrangements,policy support,construction of cooperation mechanisms, and coordination of benefit distribution, this paper proposes the path and measures to promote smooth and circular development in the Fujian-Zhejiang-Jiangxi-Anhui Economic Cooperation Zone and to form a unified large market by region, level and type, it provides insights for enhancing cross-regional cooperation in interprovincial border areas.

This study quantitatively evaluates the coordination level between pollution reduction and carbon reduction in 30 provincial-level regions in China from 2006 to 2020. It analyzes the spatiotemporal evolution trend of this coordination level using the Dagum Gini coefficient and spatial Markov chain. Additionally, it empirically tests the impact of green technology innovation on the coordination level between pollution reduction and carbon reduction. The research findings are as follows: 1) The overall trend of the coordination level between pollution reduction and carbon reduction in China is increasing, exhibiting a "club convergence" phenomenon. The spatial difference of the coordination level between pollution reduction and carbon reduction shows a downward trend in China and three major regions. 2) Green technology innovation plays a significant role in enhancing the coordination level between pollution reduction and carbon reduction, while environmental regulation and government financial support significantly enhance its promoting role. 3) Energy consumption intensity reveals the mechanism of green technology innovation affecting the coordination level between pollution reduction and carbon reduction, environmental regulation and government financial support play negative and positive regulatory roles on this impact mechanism, respectively. 4) Heterogeneity analysis reveals that green technology innovation has a significant promoting role in the coordination level between pollution-carbon reduction for central and western regions, but not for eastern region.

Urban and rural areas have the relationship of mutual promotion and mutual symbiosis. Whether the urban-rural relationship can be handled well is related to the overall socialist modernization construction. Accelerating the integrative development of urban and rural areas and promoting the common prosperity of urban and rural areas are not only the inherent requirements of Chinese path to modernization,but also a major measure to organically combine the new type of urbanization with the overall rural revitalization. Based on the analysis of the current imbalance of urban-rural development in China,this article proposes to improve the system and mechanism for promoting the new type of urbanization,consolidate and improve the basic rural operation system,improve the support system for strengthening agriculture,benefiting farmers and bringing prosperity to farmers,deepen land system reform,accelerate the establishment of the system and mechanism for integrative development of urban and rural areas,comprehensively improve the integration level of urban-rural planning,construction and governance,promote the equal exchange and two-way flow of urban and rural elements,constantly narrow the gap between urban and rural development. It will accelerate the formation of a new type of relationship between industry and agriculture,which includes mutual promotion of industry and agriculture,urban-rural complementarity,comprehensive integration,and common prosperity. It puts forward some policy suggestions that are gradually achieving the equality of basic rights and interests between urban and rural residents,the equalization of urban and rural public services,the balance of income between urban and rural residents,the rationalization of urban and rural factor allocation,and the integration of urban and rural industrial development.

Taking Zhejiang Province as the research area,this paper establishes an evaluation index system of the green finance development level at county level, and reveals the evolution characteristics of green finance development from 2007 to 2022. It uses spatial econometric models to identify the key factors influencing the green finance development level in counties of Zhejiang Province, and system dynamics (SD) models for simulation and prediction. It's found that: 1) The green finance development level has been consistently rising in counties of Zhejiang Province,with notable spatial disparities among them. 2) The green finance development level has shifted from primarily low-value areas to predominantly high-value areas,exhibiting clear directional characteristics and a general trend of shrinking distribution range. 3) Factors such as technological innovation,deposit level,industrial structure upgrading and environmental pollution exhibit a positive impact, economic development and energy consumption level have a significant negative effect. 4) When Zhejiang Province maintains a collaborative development path, the county-level green finance development capacity achieves the highest scores which are 75.46 in 2030 and 78.80 in 2035,respectively. Conversely, under the stable status quo path, the county-level green finance development capability achieves the lowest scores which are 74.78 in 2030 and 77.04 in 2035, respectively.

The widening gap between the north and the south in China has become a typical phenomenon of unbalanced and inadequate regional development. This paper uses the nighttime satellite light data from 1992 to 2020 to analyze the North-South gap and its dynamic evolution characteristics, evaluates its global and local convergence, and explores the main factors affecting the convergence of the North-South gap. The empirical results show that: 1) During the sample period, the North-South gap showed a downward-upward trend of repeated fluctuations, but after 2013, it showed a new round of accelerated expansion trend. 2) The South and the North in China both experienced a process from non-existent club convergence to club convergence, which is mainly reflected divergence in the southern region and convergence in the northern region. 3) There are obvious local convergence characteristics in the southern and northern regions, but the steady-state level of convergence in different regions is differentiated. 4) The gap between the business environment and the innovation level is the main factor causing the accelerated differentiation between the northern and the southern regions. Technological progress and innovation level are the leading forces leading to the internal differentiation in the southern region, and the change of industrial structure has a positive effect on narrowing the internal gap in the northern region. This paper provides an effective policy reference for narrowing the gap between the northern and the southern regions and promoting regional coordinated development.

The Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee explicitly outlined the need to "improve the institutional system of major functional zones". This paper evaluates the policy value and implementation effectiveness of major functional zones by examining three scientific connotations: emphasizing the fundamental role of resource and environmental carrying capacity,highlighting regional comparative advantages,and adhering to a goal-oriented approach for sustainable development. It uncovers significant developmental disparities among different major functional zones. Based on basic theories and methods in economic geography, this paper discusses reform directions for improving the institutional system of major functional zones,including: building an institutional framework for the major functional zones that is compatible with high-quality development and China's modernization construction,enhancing a coordinated development system between major function and superimposed function,and creating an institutional framework based on major functional zones to expedite the formation of a new territorial system and integrated functional zone layout. Furthermore,it delves into in-depth discussions on key reforms and innovations for achieving high-quality development in major functional zones as well as improving the institutional system. This paper contends that economic geography has played a crucial supporting role in shaping and developing major functional zones. Thus,enhancing the institutional system will serve as a new driving force for economic geography's advancement in the new era.
