Spatiotemporal evolution and associated factors of coupling coordination between socio-economic development and ecological health: county-level evidence from the Central Yunnan Urban Agglomeration, China
Understanding how socio-economic development aligns with ecological health is essential for the sustainable governance of mountainous urban agglomerations. This study investigates 49 county-level units in the Central Yunnan Urban Agglomeration, China, from 2010 to 2023. Socio-economic development and ecological health were evaluated using a pooled entropy-weighted TOPSIS framework. A baseline coupling coordination degree (CCD-B) and a reconstructed non-overlapping measure (CCD-R) were developed to reduce mechanical …
