Sustainable Coupling Coordination and Influencing Factors of Sports Facilities Construction and Social Economy Development in China

Abstract

Sports facilities are a crucial physical safeguard and means of sustaining sporting activities. The steady and healthy development of sports facilities can promote the sustainable development of the social economy. In order to explore the coordination status and influencing factors between sports facilities construction and the social economy, this paper built a coupling coordination evaluation index system and dynamic factor index system for the sports facilities construction and social economy development by using the entropy method, coupling coordination model and random effect model. This paper assessed the comprehensive level, coupling coordination relationship, and influencing factors of the sports facilities and social economy development of nine cities in the Fujian Province across China from 2016 to 2020. The results show the overall level of sports facilities construction in Fujian is better than the social economy development, and the two systems are interacting with each other. The level of coupling and coordination gradually changes from good coordination to quality sustainable coordination. The coupling coordinated relationship between the two systems is developing in a positive way. In addition, industrial development, the level of urban development, and environmental development as influencing factors have a clear positive effect on the degree of coupling coordination. This study provides several recommendations for cities to achieve sustainable coordinated development. This paper also may provide a direction and path for future research.

Spatial distribution characteristics and causes of public sports venues in China

“…Our findings underscore the pivotal role of transportation conditions in shaping the spatial distribution pattern of sports venues 31 . Moreover, other driving factors influencing the spatial distribution of sports venues are of significance, resonating with existing research findings 32 , 33 . Compared to existing research 19 , our investigation pays closer attention to the impacts of socio-economic and natural environmental factors on sports venue distribution.…”

Financial efficiency and CO2 emission in BRICS. Dose digital economy development matter?

“…The TI variable is quantified by the count of patent applications, following the standards provided by [ [34] , [35] ]. [ 36 ] states that the financial sector of an economy is composed of two main components: financial institutions, such as banks, mortgage companies, and insurance organizations, who act as intermediates in financial transactions, and the financial market, which includes the capital market and other imitative markets. This study employs the FE metric to assess the level of EG within each group [ 37 ].…”

Spatial and Temporal Evolution of Coupling and Coordination between Scientific and Technological Innovation and Green Economy in Anhui Province

“…Coupling degree is usually used only to reflect the degree of interaction between systems, while coupling coordination degree not only considers the degree of interaction between systems, but also their respective development levels, reflecting the degree of harmony and consistency of development between systems [39]. The degree of coupling coordination was calculated as follows [40]:…”
