Abstract

With high pollution, high emissions of extensive economy development mode, resources and environment are facing the serious situation of deteriorating, which don’t make human allow to ignore the contradictions eco-environment and economic development. This study aim to the research of coupling relationship between eco-environment and economic development in Guanzhong area, by establishing evaluation of index system between eco-environment system and economic system, using principal component analysis and mathematical model method. The results show that the relations mainly manifested three characteristics of coupling coordination from the time sequence. First, the coupling coordination degree of evolution kept rising trend in fluctuation. Second, the study area had obvious characteristics in every-stage, which show developing slowly, fast developing of falling speed and rapidly rising speed of development. Third, the coupling of systems as a whole and all parts showed a trend of “V” type in the direction of coordinated development. The space angle mainly had two characteristics: first, there were mainly three types regions in the Guanzhong area. The first kind of coupling development level is high but not stable. The second type of coupling is coordination development and keep stable. The third class coupling level is low and stable development. Second, the differences of regional internal gradually were narrow towards a coordination trend. Therefore, this study puts forward some effective suggestions from the macro-perspective and micro-perspective, which is theoretical basis for the sustainable development path.
