Development Quality Evaluation from the Perspective of Coordinated Development: Based on the Empirical Analysis of Five Provinces’ Panel Data

Abstract

A coordinated development quality evaluation indicator system of four systems: economy, society, culture and ecological civilization was constructed. Taking the five provinces of Central China as the evaluation object and the panel data of 41 specific evaluation indicators from 2000 to 2020 as the evaluation samples, the coupling relationship and coordination degree index of four systems were calculated from the perspective of coordinated development. The results show that the indicators that contribute more to the development quality of five provinces are basically the same. The comprehensive development quality keeps improving, and the pace is relatively consistent. But the improvement speed of ecological civilization system is relatively slow, and there is a certain degree of difference. The coupling coordination degree indexes of five provinces have been rising steadily, but it is a pity that they are still in the disorder stage. The five provinces of the Central China can accelerate the coordinated, balanced and high-quality development of various systems by firmly establishing the coordinated development concept, strengthening the construction of their weak areas, and taking the road of characteristic development with the help of advantageous factors.
