Spatiotemporal Evolution Patterns of “Production-Living-Ecological” Spaces and the Coordination Level and Optimization of the Functions in Jilin Province

Abstract

The coordinated development of the territorial spatial pattern and its function is an important prerequisite for the realization of regional high-quality development. This paper aims to reveal the evolutionary characteristics of the spatial–temporal pattern and the coupling coordination level of the “production-living-ecological” spaces (PLES) in Jilin Province from 1998 to 2018 by using the entropy method, a coupling coordination model and spatial analysis methods, and proposes the optimization paths for the four regions of the province. The results indicate that the scale of the ecological space was the largest, mainly concentrated in the eastern region. The production space was mainly concentrated in the central and western regions, and the scale of the living space was the smallest, but increased slightly, mainly concentrated in the central regions. The PLE functions in every county and city are at the coupling coordination levels of mild and moderate imbalance. Eastern Jilin should take the ecological function as the lead, and should improve the production and living functions; Central Jilin should maintain the production and living functions and improve the ecological function; Western Jilin should strengthen ecological restoration and accelerate the transformation and development of the green production function. This study can provide references for the optimization of the provincial territorial space layout in order to improve the regional territorial space coordination and sustainable development.

Eco-Environmental Effects of Changes in Territorial Spatial Pattern and Their Driving Forces in Qinghai, China (1980–2020)

“…According to relevant studies, the rapid development of social economy and urbanization is accompanied by the deterioration of eco-environmental quality to a certain extent [25,60,61]. This degradation is usually caused by the change of territorial spatial patterns due to land use transformation (Figure 7).…”

Spatio-Temporal Variation and Influencing Factors of the Coupling Coordination Degree of Production-Living-Ecological Space in China

“…The coupling coordination of PLES is an extension of the connotation of coordinating the man-land relationship and promoting sustainable development [ 2 , 10 , 11 ]. Previous studies on PLES mainly focused on PLES classification [ 15 ], index construction [ 2 , 16 , 17 , 18 ], pattern evolution [ 19 , 20 , 21 ], spatial conflict [ 4 , 5 ], spatial optimization [ 8 , 9 , 16 , 22 , 23 ], eco-environmental effect [ 6 , 24 , 25 ], and coupling coordination analysis [ 2 , 11 , 12 ]. Specifically, regarding the classification of PLES, previous scholars have completed abundant studies on land classification and evaluation systems based on different research perspectives [ 2 , 17 , 26 ].…”

Research on the evolution and the driving forces of land use classification for production, living, and ecological space in China’s Qilian Mountains Nature Reserve from 2000 to 2020

“…Scholars explored the pattern of spatiotemporal differentiation in the unit area (Geng et al 2019 ) and analyzed their evolutionary characteristics (Wang et al 2020 ). The other stream explores the functional differences of regional units, such as the coordinated spatial development of different cities (Wei et al 2021a ) and the regional characteristics of land use (Wei et al 2021b ). The production-living-ecological functions are spatially and temporally heterogeneous and can reinforce, restrict, or eliminate each other.…”
