ABSTRACT

Land space serves as the carrier for human survival and development, fulfilling functions such as urban development, agricultural production, and ecological regulation. However, urbanization intensifies conflicts in land use, making it imperative to study the efficiency of land space utilization and the coupling coordination of its subsystems from a sustainable perspective to optimize land layout and development. Based on the classification standards of urban, agricultural, and ecological spaces, this paper quantitatively analyzes the coupling coordination degree (CCD) of the three systems of China's land space utilization efficiency (LSUE) from 2010 to 2021. Through the LISA time path and spatiotemporal transitions, the study explores the evolutionary trends and spatial dynamics of CCD. The findings reveal that the spatial pattern of CCD exhibits strong stability and significant spatial cohesion. This research aims to provide planning and theoretical support for the sustainable utilization of territorial space in developing countries from the perspective of coupling coordination.
