“…In addition, changes in the populations of different provinces affect the allocation of TCM health resources. For example, the rapid population loss in Northeast China (the population has decreased by more than 10 million over the past 10 years) has directly increased the growth rate per capita of TCM resources in this area, while the trend in Guangdong is the opposite [ 19 ]. Therefore, the design of future health policies also needs to take this internal population migration into account.…”

Background At present, improving the accessibility to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) health resources is an important component of China’s health policy. This study evaluated the trends in the disparities and equity of TCM health resource allocation from 2010 to 2020 to inform optimal future local health planning and policy. Method The data for this study were extracted from the China Health Statistical Yearbook (2011–2021) and China Urban Statistical Yearbook (2020). The equity and rationality of the allocation of TCM health resources at the national and provincial levels were evaluated using the Gini coefficient and the health resource aggregation degree, respectively. Result The number of TCM-related institutions, beds, health staff, outpatients and admissions increased by 1.97, 2.61, 2.35, 1.72 and 2.41 times, respectively, between 2010 and 2020. The population-based Gini coefficients for health staff, beds and institutions were 0.12, 0.23 and 0.13, respectively, indicating acceptable equity, while the geographical area-based Gini index for health staff, beds and institutions were 0.65, 0.62 and 0.62, respectively, indicating serious inequity. The agglomeration degree as a function of geographical area was as follows: eastern region > central region > western region. Moreover, the institutional and health staff gaps between the geographical areas increased from 2012 to 2020. In addition, there was a relatively balanced agglomeration degree based on the population in these three regions and an increasingly equitable allocation of institutions and health staff. Conclusion In recent years, China’s TCM health resources and services have increased rapidly, but their proportions within the overall health system remain low. The equity and rationality of TCM health allocated by the population was better than that by the geographic area. Regional differences and inequalities, especially for institutions, still exist. A series of policies to promote the balanced development of TCM need to be implemented.

“…Compared with previous relevant studies: (1) The "double core" spatial characteristics and the spatial differentiation of the core area, transition area and starting area of human settlements have been well verified in previous studies, which has its objective reality [58,59]. (2) The spatiotemporal differentiation law of PHSs and the coupling coordination between PHSs and RHSs have been thoroughly studied and confirmed by peers [2,60]. (3) The theoretical framework, spatial relationship and new driving factors of the coupling and coordination of "three states" human settlements are some thoughts and explorations that keep pace with the times based on the development of human settlement practice and theory.…”

The high-quality interaction of urban reality human settlements (RHSs), pseudo-human settlements (PHSs) and image human settlements (IHSs) can better explain the constantly updated human settlements phenomena under the human–land-relationship regional system. At present, the basic connotation, empirical exploration and optimized path of high-quality and coordinated development of “three states” of human settlements are not clear. In this paper, we take 14 prefecture-level cities in Liaoning Province as case areas and empirically explore their spatial patterns, coupling and coordination spatial relationships, driving mechanisms and development paths by using a coupling and coordination model, the entropy weight method and the geographic detector method. The results indicate that: (1) The spatial pattern of high-quality development of “three states” of human settlements varies significantly in different regions, forming a “dual-core” and “hump” spatial structure. (2) RHSs, PHSs and IHSs are not completely coordinated, forming “high–high–high” and “low–low–low” types, represented by Shenyang and Fuxin. (3) The high-quality coordinated development of “three states” of human settlements is driven by economic conditions, population conditions, entertainment systems and other factors. The population system, the social communication system and the support system, respectively, lead the high-quality coordinated development of RHSs, PHSs and IHSs.

“…With the advent of the Web 2.0 era, We Media and social media have developed rapidly, providing infinite opportunities for communications among people (Denissen et al, 2010), overcoming spatial restrictions caused by geographical distances, and transforming the world into an interrelated pseudo-real environment (Tsou, 2015). The traditional "pseudo-environment" has subtly changed and developed into pseudo-human settlements (PHS) with specific functions and services, such as living, socializing, shopping, traveling, and entertainment (Tian et al, 2022a). Compared with a "pseudoenvironment," PHS are information-based human settlements constructed by residents by editing and processing with the aid of media.…”

Pseudo-human settlements (PHS) reflect the subjective wishes and needs of residents. An in-depth characterization of PHS aids in clarifying the actual development needs and future development directions of the city from the residents’ perspective. China is currently undergoing high-speed urbanization and advocates improving the quality of cities. It is particularly important to test the achievements of urbanization through PHS. This study quantitatively analyses spatiotemporal characteristics and the realistic driving mechanism of PHS in 286 Chinese cities through spatial autocorrelation analysis and geographic detectors. The results indicate that (1) the PHS level exhibited notable hierarchical characteristics and spatial differences (high in the eastern coastal regions and low in the western inland regions), with weak positive autocorrelation characteristics; (2) nighttime light index, per capital GRP, and population size are major drivers of heterogeneity of development level and functional structure of PHS; and (3) the functional structure followed an emergence-development-maturity-decline-extinction life cycle. Overall, the development of PHS must play a leading role in high-level areas, and urban decision-makers should clarify and adapt to local preferences of PHS and predict future changes. The findings of this study can help China and other countries promote realistic development by unveiling the characteristics of PHS.
