“…The MRYRUA is a crucial area for implementing the strategy of promoting the rise of central China, thereby promoting new urbanization, and building a beautiful China. It has become a significant growth pole for China's economic development and a primary space for building an ecological security barrier [51]. However, the development of the MRYRUA is relatively low, and it is still in the stage of rapid development [52].…”

Improving the ecological well-being performance (EWP) of natural resources and environmental consumption in relation to human well-being, within the ecological boundary, is necessary for sustainable development. This study used the Super-SBM model to measure the urban EWP of urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River (MRYRUA) in 2020. The spatial differentiation characteristics of EWP in the MRYRUA were identified. The heterogeneity in the direction and size of the influencing factors of EWP at different urban hierarchy (UH) levels was empirically tested by establishing a threshold model. The results are as follows: (1) In 2020, the EWP of the study area showed a trend of high levels in the southwest and low levels in the northeast. The EWP presented a multi-center “core–periphery” distribution, and the characteristic of “central collapse” was evident. The UH level of the middle and lower hierarchy-level cities was inconsistent with its EWP. (2) A non-single linear relationship was found between the influencing factors of the EWP of the MRYRUA and the EWP. The impacts of technological progress, industrial structure, environmental regulation, and population density on the EWP of the MRYRUA all showed threshold characteristics. (3) Heterogeneity and stages were both observed for the influencing factors of EWP under different UH levels. The effect of technological progress on EWP presented the characteristics of bidirectional and two-stage developments, and environmental regulation presented the features of a significant positive three-stage development. Both industrial structure and population density presented two-stage aspects, but the former acted in a negative direction, while the latter served in a positive order. This study provides a theoretical basis for the government to formulate differentiated regional policies and promote the coordinated improvement of EWP among cities at all hierarchy levels in the urban agglomeration. This study is of great significance to the sustainable development of urban agglomerations. Its results can provide a reference for other urban agglomerations, metropolitan areas, and city clusters worldwide to coordinate economic development, ecological protection, and to improve people’s well-being.

“…Later, with the continuous development of the integration of culture and tourism at the practical level, scholars have gradually focused their research attention on the effectiveness evaluation of the integration of culture and tourism. Scholars have evaluated the development of the integration of culture and tourism at different geographical scales, including national [7], regional [8][9][10], provincial [11,12], municipal [13][14][15], and county [16] units. Among them, the coupling coordination model is the research method favoured by most scholars, but in recent studies, a few scholars have begun to use text mining methods [17] and a weighted TOPSIS model [18] for evaluation.…”

In the new stage of the deep integration of culture and tourism, fully exploring its mechanism of action, spatial connection, and path of influence will be of great significance to the sustainable development of the integration of culture and tourism. In this paper, we analysed the mechanism of integration of culture and tourism with the help of systems theory, introduced the concept of spatial interaction to construct a new measurement model of integration of culture and tourism, and conducted empirical analyses with Chinese provinces as the target. We found that in the last decade, the tourism industry has been dominant, and most of the industrial elements have been clustered towards it. The centre of the spatial interaction network of culture and tourism is located in the area of the “North China Plain—Middle and Lower Yangtze River Plain” and moves towards the southwest over time. The northwestern and northeastern zones have become “desert zones” in the spatial interaction network of culture and tourism. The level of integration of culture and tourism peaked in 2018, with East China having a chronically higher level of integration. In addition, the deep integration of culture and tourism can be promoted through the combination of new development philosophies.
