“…Some researchers have approached this issue from the perspective of coupling coordination and interaction mechanisms. For example, Chen analyzed the urban compactness and urban land-use efficiency, as well as the degree and types of coupling and coordination between them [32]. Xiao and colleagues explored the coupling coordination mechanism between land use and urban development; their focus was the Loess Plateau region of China [33].…”

This swift progression of urbanization has led to increasingly prominent conflicts over the use of land, particularly around its supply and demand. Researchers, both in China and internationally, have underscored the inherent interconnection between urbanization and land utilization. This relationship has gradually become more complex with the development of urbanization. With the implementation of the Yellow River Basin’s strategy to preserve the environment while ensuring high-quality development, the Yellow River Basin has become a focal point of attention for numerous scholars. This study centers on the 57 county-level administrative divisions within the Gansu segment of the Yellow River Basin. We employed an extensive array of methodologies, such as GIS technology, the entropy method, data envelopment analysis, the coupling coordination degree model, and the panel vector autoregressive model. We established an index system and a measurement model to evaluate the degree of urbanization and the efficiency of land use. We also investigated the coupling coordinated dynamics between these two variables, to further explore the dynamic interplay between urbanization and land use and reveal their underlying mechanisms. The conclusions are as follows. The urbanization level and efficiency of land use in the Gansu section of the Yellow River Basin have exhibited a consistent upward trajectory, albeit at levels that are not particularly high, indicating substantial room for improvement in the future. The level of coupling coordination between urbanization and land use efficiency in the Gansu section of the Yellow River Basin has shown a generally upward trend. However, the overall coordination level remains relatively low, characterized by an imbalance, with “high coupling but low coordination”. Regarding spatial distribution patterns, considerable disparities exist in the level of coordination development, which generally decreases from the eastern toward the western regions. A strong reciprocal and interactive relationship exists between the urbanization level and land use efficiency. An elevated level of economic urbanization can initially stimulate land use efficiency. Similarly, the improvement in the level of population urbanization, social urbanization, and ecological urbanization tends to exert a restraining influence on the augmentation of land use efficiency. Conversely, the enhancement of land use efficiency makes a distinct contribution to promoting the elevation of the urbanization level.

This paper synthesizes research methods on the coupling of land use efficiency and spatio-temporal heterogeneity, aiming to provide insights into the diversity and important findings in this important field. Land use efficiency is a key factor in sustainable land management and resource planning, while spatio-temporal heterogeneity emphasizes the variability between different regions and points in time. The article explores the methods and applications of land use efficiency research from different perspectives. Remote sensing technology and geographic information systems (GIS) are considered two pillars of land use efficiency research, which complement each other but also have their own applicability and limitations. Remote sensing technology can provide large-scale and multi-scale land use information, but with limited resolution, while GIS is suitable for spatial analysis of land use and integration of multiple geographic data, but relies on accurate datasets. Time series analysis and spatial analysis modeling are key methods in land use change studies. Time series analysis is used to reveal historical trends and future projections of land use, while spatial analysis models emphasize the spatial linkages between land uses. These two methods have their own focus and can be selected and combined according to the research questions. The study of land use efficiency and spatio-temporal heterogeneity needs to consider its important impact on the environment. Good land management can protect ecosystems, combat climate change and maintain resource sustainability. In addition, these studies provide guidance for practical applications of sustainable land management and resource planning, including urban planning, agricultural improvement, ecosystem protection, and climate change adaptation. However, land use efficiency and spatial and temporal heterogeneity studies suffer from limitations and uncertainties such as data uncertainty, data availability, and modeling assumptions. Future research could explore more integrated approaches, especially in the context of climate change and socioeconomic factors. An in-depth study of the variability and best practices in different regions can help improve the scientific basis for land management decisions. This paper summarizes the coupled research methods on land use efficiency and spatio-temporal heterogeneity and their importance. These studies provide certain references for sustainable land management and resource planning, and help to realize sustainable resource utilization, environmental protection, and sustainable socio-economic development.

“…The final weight for each indicator is the average of the weights obtained from both methods [68,69]. Lastly, a weight summation method is utilized to calculate the comprehensive development index for urbanization, the environment, and food security, respectively [70]. The coupling coordination degree model can describe the link between several subsystems, as well as comprehensively analyze the entire system [60].…”

The interconnection between urbanization, the environment, and food security necessitates an exploration of their coupling coordination to advance the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals. However, limited research directly addresses the feasibility and strategies required to achieve such coordination. This study investigates the coupling coordination and spatial heterogeneity between urbanization, the environment, and food security in China from 2004 to 2020, employing the coupling coordination degree model, the spatial correlation model, the Dagum Gini coefficient, and the obstacle degree model. The results show that: (1) the level of coordinated development between urbanization, the environment, and food security in China has significantly increased, as evidenced by a remarkable rise in the coupling coordination degree; (2) a robust positive spatial correlation is observed in the coupling coordination degree, with “Low-Low” clusters predominantly concentrated in northwest China and “High-High” clusters primarily located in southeast China; (3) inter-regional differences are identified as the primary cause of this spatial heterogeneity; (4) food security has emerged as the foremost obstacle to coordinated development between urbanization, the environment, and food security in China. Optimizing the rational allocation of natural resources across different sectors, enhancing resource use efficiency, and strengthening environmental pollution control and management have been proven to be crucial measures and key strategies for promoting their coordinated development. This study provides a novel perspective on balancing the intricate relationship between urbanization, environmental protection, and food security, which is conducive to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals in developing countries.
