“…A rapid increase in the economic bene ts of a region will accelerate tourism development. However, if the ecological subsystem's growth lags, it suggests that while economic growth may boost tourism, it also poses risks to the ecological environment (Yin et al, 2023). Scholarly research has predominantly explored the interconnectedness of economic, ecological, societal, innovative, environmental, and urban development, underscoring the necessity for their harmonized progression.…”

The synergistic integration of tourism, the economy, and the ecological environment within a region is crucial for promoting its sustainable development. Tourism acts as a catalyst for green economic growth, yet varying levels of tourism development can intensify the strain on the ecological environment. Thus, achieving a Pareto optimal balance among the benefits of these three entities holds significant theoretical and practical relevance. This research utilizes statistical data spanning from 2000 to 2021 to devise a tourism-economy-ecological environment (TEE) indicator system for Xinjiang. The study employs a coupled coordination model to analyze the spatial and temporal coupling dynamics between subsystems and to classify the types of coupled coordination. The analysis also identifies obstacles that impede the degree of coordination. The findings indicate that during the period under investigation, the TEE system in Xinjiang experienced consistent growth. However, the tourism subsystem exhibited disparate development and pronounced resource monopolization, which stimulated the economic subsystem's growth, albeit with noticeable developmental lags in the latter stages. Spatially, economic performance demonstrated a declining trend from core urban centers like Urumqi City and Karamay City towards peripheral areas. From an ecological perspective, the distribution of resources exhibited a heterogeneous "M-V-W" pattern, characterized by significant disparities in the availability of natural resources and the occurrence of localized ecological deterioration. There is a notable and increasing degree of coupled coordination in regional synergistic development, which is primarily manifested in the delayed development of tourism. The combined development of the three subsystems is influenced by some factors, including environmental pollution, resources, economic quality, and industrial structure. Soot emissions, green space per capita in parks, and sulfur dioxide emissions are identified as key constraints. This study provides theoretical backing and empirical evidence for economic growth, the optimization of industrial structure, and the preservation of the ecological environment in arid and semi-arid regions globally.

Economic growth has brought about escalating environmental challenges. The purist of socioeconomic and environmental coordination necessitates a deep understanding of their interplay. Therefore, a game theory stepwise-cluster factorial coupling coordination model (GSFCM) has been developed to investigate the spatial and temporal patterns and driving forces of socioeconomic and environmental coordination in the Yangtze River Delta Region. Results reveal an upward in socioeconomic and environmental status from 2015 to 2020. All 41 cities in the region show progress towards coordination, coupled with spatial inequalities. Hangzhou, Shanghai, and Zhoushan demonstrate the highest coupling coordination degree (CCD), while Bozhou, Suzhou, and Fuyang located in Anhui exhibit the lowest levels. Socioeconomic factors contribute 82.98% to the enhancement of CCD, environmental factors contribute 11.05%, and their interaction accounts for 5.92%. Main drivers influencing CCD include Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, the proportion of the added value of tertiary industry, PM 2.5 concentration, and their interactions. Policy related to regional collaboration, industrial upgrades, and investment in environmental infrastructure are recomended to achieve a harmonious balance between economic growth and environmental protection. These insights are expected to support policy decisions in sustainable development of the region.
