An analysis of coordination relationship between groundwater resources and economic carrying capacity based on hyperbolic distance coordination model

Resources and environment conditions are important factors for supporting social and economic development. China's natural resources and environment conditions are very complex, regional dierences are great, and the gap of regional economic development is widening day by day.How to analyze the degree of coordination and matching between resources, environment and social economy is the first problem to be clarified in order to promote the sustainable development of regional economy.Based on the coordination theory of resource and environment carrying capacity, the authors constructed a coordination analysis model method of resource-economy system based on hyperbolic distance coordination degree.According to the model, the authors made coordinated relationship analysis of China's 514 counties which rely on groundwater resources and have developed a higher degree of groundwater resources as well as economic data, and evaluated the level of coordination between economy and the groundwater resources endowment of these counties. The results show some differences of coordination between the two systems and between the degrees of space. Most areas in Northeast and Northwest China are in the positive region of groundwater resources and economic coordination, and regional economic development still has certain potential, whereas most areas of North China and South China are in the negative coordination zone, where the economic development exceeds the carrying capacity of groundwater resources.
