Hypothesis

How to coordinate the relationship among production space, living space and ecological space has become a serious problem for its regional sustainable development.

Conclusion

The study found that the carrying capacity of production space and living space showed a weak downward trend, while the ecological space carrying capacity increased.

Supporting Evidence

  • The distribution area of ecological space and production space decreased, while the living space area increased slightly.
  • The carrying capacity of production space showed a weak growth trend.
  • The coupling degree and coupling coordination degree between two spaces show a slow downward trend.
  • The obstacle degree of the carrying capacity of production space and living space has increased.

Takeaway

This study looks at how much land can support people, animals, and nature in a specific area, and it found that while some parts are getting better, others are getting worse.

Methodology

The study used remote sensing images and various models to analyze the carrying capacity of production, living, and ecological spaces.

Limitations

The study is limited by the availability of data, which may lead to deviations in the results.
