From the perspective of space commodification, rural lucid waters and lush mountains (green mountains) are considered as rural space resources with rich natural and cultural characteristics, and the transformation of green mountains into golden and silver mountains is the space value realization process of rural green mountains through the commodification of space. Based on the space commodification theory, and combined with natural resources capitalization theory and capital circulation theory, this study constructs the space commodification theoretical framework of rural two mountains transformation, which includes five closely connected links: space advantage identification, monetary capital investment, space production, spatial ecological products sales, and space reproduction. Therefore, the inherent logic, process, and conditions of the transformation of rural green mountains from space resources into space assets, space capital, spatial ecological products, and space returns, are clarified, and a two-way transformation loop between green mountains and golden and silver mountains is formed through space resources capitalization and space capital increment circulation. Then, based on the above theoretical framework, the practice path for transforming rural two mountains is summarized and refined systematically, from scientifically recognizing the space resources advantages of rural green mountains, innovating investment and financing mechanisms for capitalization of green mountains, creating diversified and high value-added spatial ecological products with rich regional characteristics, expanding value realizing channels of spatial ecological products, and promoting the re-cultivation of rural green mountains space. In addition, this study puts forward some proposals, such as deepening the spatial value recognition of rural green mountains and its ecological products, making full use of multi-participant's co-governance, integrating and coordinating space production and material production in space, and preventing social risks brought by capital introduction, in order to promote the commodification of green mountains space, and thus achieve win-win situation of rural two mountains.

Government audit, as a key component of the national supervision system, plays a vital role in achieving the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals. Based on the panel data of 277 prefecture-level cities in China from 2006 to 2019, this paper employs a spatial econometric model to investigate the spatial boundary and heterogeneity of the spatial spillover effect of government audit on carbon emissions. The research finds that: 1) Government audit not only reduces local carbon emissions but also promotes carbon reduction in adjacent cities. Moreover, this spillover effect shows the characteristics of geographical and economic boundaries, reaching its peak at a geographical distance of 400 km, and there is also an optimal economic distance spillover interval. 2) Heterogeneity analysis reveals that low-level government intervention and high-level energy consumption will make the geographical distance spillover boundary of government audit more significant. 3) Government audit can enhance public environmental awareness in local and neighboring cities, playing a role in coordinated carbon reduction. Based on the above, it proposes that the government can achieve the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals and promote the government audit development by the means of strengthening regional cooperation and coordination, reducing differences in urban characteristics, increasing public participation in supervision, and strengthening sci-tech innovation and R&D.

Based on the data of Baidu search index of ChatGPT from December 2022 to June 2023 this article analyzes the evolution characteristics and influence mechanism of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI for short) attention degree by the ArcGIS, multivariable linear regression model, and spatial econometric model. The results show that: 1） GenAI attention degree showed the inverted-V evolution trend in China during the research period. 2) GenAI attention degree had the characteristics of regional agglomeration, which initially showed the distribution of a giant block shape with the Shandong Peninsula, the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta as the cores, later evolved into the distribution of a small block shape. 3) Scientific and technological development, corporate development, advanced industrial structure, education level, degree of opening up, digital infrastructure and government support all had a significant positive effect on GenAI attention degree, and in addition to the digital infrastructure, the other influencing factors have the spatial spillover effect, which is the main reason for the regional aggregation of GenAI attention degree. Based on the research conclusions, this article proposes some suggestions that are increasing the technological investment and policy support for high-tech cities, establishing a high-level talent training system, improving relevant regulations and ethical standards to promote the development of GenAI industry and optimize the layout of high-tech industry.

It is of great practical significance to explore the influence mechanism of sports culture tourism consumption behavior in net-popular tourism destinations to promote the inheritance and innovation of ethnic culture, boost "rural revitalization" and enhance residents' happiness. Based on the stimulus-organism-response (SOR) theory and the theory of planned behavior, this paper constructs an influence mechanism model of sports cultural tourism consumption behavior of Village Basketball Game and Village Super League in Guizhou, which takes sports values, place attachment, and media communication as independent variables, attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control as mediating variables, and tourism intention and tourism behavior as dependent variables. It uses the structural equation model to test the research hypotheses. The results indicate that: 1) The average value of tourists' intentions and behaviors towards sports cultural tourism consumption are 4.48 and 4.58 respectively, both showing a positive tendency. 2) Place attachment and media communication have significant positive impacts on potential tourists' attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. These factors indirectly influence tourists' intentions towards sports cultural tourism through perceived behavioral control, leading to the actualization of such behaviors. 3) Potential tourists' subjective norms and perceived behavioral control significantly positively influence their intentions towards sports cultural tourism, which in turn influences their sports cultural tourism behavior. Research suggests that the consumption behaviors of sports cultural tourism in the Village Basketball Game and Village Super League of Guizhou are primarily driven by "assembling for the media" and "coming for the destination, " rather than "gathering for the competition". The rural events serve as a platform for local cultural performances and exchanges.

Global Production Networks (GPNs) and regional development are the hotspots and frontiers of international economic geography. However, it should pay more attention on the local enterprise networks dominated by strategic partners of leading firms (SPLFs) in GPNs. Based on the typical case of Foxconn in Zhengzhou, this paper explains the influence of strategic partners of leading firms on regional industry development by building an analytical framework including power relationships, institutional arrangement and industrial development. The findings can be summarized as follows: 1) After Foxconn landed in Zhengzhou, its power relationship attracted some of its original suppliers to move to Zhengzhou. The local government relies on shaping the industrial development ecology and the preferential policies towards Foxconn which aim to develop the local electronic information industry to attract a large number of non-Apple mobile phone companies to gather in Zhengzhou. 2) The intelligent terminal (mobile phone) industry in Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone (ZAEZ) has formed a triple enterprise network, which is Foxconn system enterprise network, Foxconn crossover enterprise network, and non-Apple mobile enterprise network guided by local government. 3) The formation of the largest production base of Apple mobile phones and the global intelligent terminal (mobile phone) manufacturing base has accelerated the adjustment of the industrial structure in the undertaking areas. 4) The power relationship of SPLFs in GPNs and the institutional arrangements of local governments played an important role in the agglomeration of intelligent terminal (mobile phone) companies and the formation of enterprise networks. This study characterizes the local enterprise networks of SPLFs in GPNs in latecomer regions and expands the research on power relationships of GPNs.

Building resilient territorial space is a new idea to improve regional ecological risk management. Therefore, how to improve the ecological resilience of territorial space from the aspects of absorption, recovery or conversion capacity is a key issue that needs to be solved in the management of ecological risks of territorial space. This study sorted out the connotation and evaluation methods of territory space ecological resilience, and summarized its theoretical framework, measurement model, and research needs. It was indicated that different subjects had different focuses on the study of spatial ecological resilience of the national territory, the discipline of geographical science focused on the research of ecological resilience at the regional scale, emphasized on the coupling with society-nature, while the discipline of ecology payed more attention to the assessment of homeostatic changes of the ecosystem itself. Domestic studies focused on the three dimensions of resistance, resilience and adaptability to measure ecological resilience. Foreign studies, on the other hand, focused more on urban construction and disaster prevention and mitigation from the perspective of resilience. Based on the above, it proposed three key research directions of ecological resilience in territorial space: 1) A new breakthrough of dynamic measurement of ecological resilience is proposed based on mechanism analysis. 2) Guided by the coupling of society-nature, it should promote the multi-factor, multi-level and multi-objective mechanism research. 3) Guided by ecological restoration, it should strengthen multidisciplinary integration and explore the application model of ecological resilience in territorial space, so as to provide a new way for realizing the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

Based on the panel data of Huaihai Economic Zone at county level from 2010 to 2020, this article analyzes the characteristics and evolution mechanism of network structure of industrial carbon emission in Huaihai Economic Zone using complex network analysis method. The results show that: 1) During the study period, industrial carbon emission in Huaihai Economic Zone exhibits a significant spatial correlation, with notable proximity features. The absorption effect of spatial network of industrial carbon emission surpasses its radiation effect. 2) The hierarchy of the network decreases, and shows the evolution trend of the pyramidal network hierarchy structure with Xuzhou as the core. The network type is heterogeneous network, and the high-level connections increase. The agglomeration of the network decreases, the agglomeration effect among the node counties decreases, and the overall network is scattered. 3) Spatial adjacency, level of economic development, industrial carbon emission intensity, technical level and level of opening to the outside world have significant effects on the formation of industrial carbon emission network. Therefore, optimizing the spatial network structure, formulating differentiated industrial emission reduction plans, and establishing regional collaborative emission reduction mechanisms are the main ways to promote the coordinated development of low-carbon and green industries in Huaihai Economic Zone.

Urban renewal is a prominent issue in promoting high-quality and sustainable development of Chinese cities in the context of connotative development in the New Era. As culture plays an increasingly important role in continuing urban history, creating spatial value, improving quality of life and stimulating economic vitality, it is gradually becoming a key driving force for promoting urban renewal. Based on the analysis of the evolution of the relationship between cultural elements and urban renewal since the reform and opening up in the late 1970s, this paper constructs a logical framework for cultural empowerment of urban renewal, and takes the old southern city of Nanjing as an example to explore the implementation paths, mechanism and effects of cultural empowerment of urban renewal. The study found that: (1) By leveraging the multiple roles of cultural resources such as historical culture, creative culture, and local culture in urban renewal, and through the process of cultural elements injection, spatial carriers adsorption, and renewal efficiency release, urban renewal can be empowered and its effectiveness can be enhanced. (2) From the process of urban renewal practice in the old southern city of Nanjing, the paths of cultural empowerment of urban renewal are revealed as the representation of historical symbols, the driving force of cultural and tourism consumption, the implantation of creative industries, the rooting of community spirit, and the embedness of cultural services. (3) Multiple stakeholders such as the government, market, and society are jointly promoting the urban renewal with cultural empowerment. To obtain more significant economic and social benefits, it is also necessary to further strengthen the connection between the renewal of historical and cultural spaces in old cities and the achievements of contemporary urban cultural construction, coordinate the promotion of cultural renewal at the spiritual level, and enhance the urban participation rights and sense of cultural achievement of local residents. (4) The culture-empowered urban renewal in China is different from the "cultural-led urban regeneration" in the West, which regards the protection, inheritance, and promotion of historical and cultural heritage, as well as the enhancement of residents' cultural identity, as important goals of urban renewal. Based on the concept of cultural sustainability in urban renewal, it is necessary to promote the benign two-way empowerment of cultural elements and urban renewal, and achieve a resonant development of the protection and utilization of cultural resources and moderate, orderly, tender, and organic renewal.

In China's urbanization 2.0 phase, urban renewal has become the primary means of urban spatial development. Essentially, it is a high-quality development process aimed at enhancing the efficiency of resource allocation and utilization, strengthening spatial carrying capacity, optimizing urban functional quality, and reinforcing urban development resilience. Centered on the reform and development goal of "establishing a sustainable urban renewal model and policy regulations" set by the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, 15 experts and scholars from fields such as geography, urban and rural planning, and land resource management engaged in written discussions. This exploration spans various perspectives and dimensions, including the conceptual connotation, value concepts, implementation and pathways, institutional policy environment construction, and performance evaluation methods of sustainable urban renewal. Specifically: (1) Conceptual Connotation: Sustainable urban renewal should be understood as both the "sustainability" of goals and the "sustainability" of implementation. (2) Value Concepts: Emphases should be placed on promoting multi-stakeholder participation and benefit-sharing as the fundamental economic philosophy for constructing sustainable urban renewal, as well as integrating urban renewal into the spatial governance of urban cultural heritage, social spatial, and ecological spaces, thereby organizing urban renewal actions from a multidimensional systemic perspective of "economic-social-cultural-ecological-resilience". (3) Implementation: It is crucial to effectively balance the interests of local governments, market entities, property owners, and society. Secondly, attention should be given to ensuring and enhancing the mechanism for state-owned enterprises to participate in urban renewal. Thirdly, new mechanisms should be adopted such as franchising to attract enthusiasm from social capital. With all parties mentioned above, we should transform urban construction from a "supply-oriented" to a "demand-oriented" model. Besides, to meet the people's growing needs for a better life, urban renewal implementation should focus more on multi-participatory design, embedding public service facilities, green infrastructure, and digital technology elements at the micro-community scale perceptible to the people, and coordinate urban renewal planning and management implementation. (4) Institutional Policy Environment Construction: Overall, there should be a focus on new demands for urban renewal products, governance, and models in the new era, so as to create an adaptive and sustainable institutional policy environment for urban renewal. Particularly, considering key elements such as "people, land, and capital" in urban renewal, systematic institutional innovations should be conducted in aspects like land use regulations, funding arrangements, and organizational mechanisms. (5) Performance Evaluation: Finally, from a "people's perspective", a measurable and comparable performance evaluation system for urban renewal should be established.

Industrial heritage is an important resource and cultural carrier of industrial tourism. How to realize the organic integration between industrial heritage and tourism utilization has become an urgent problem for the sustainable development of industrial heritage. In this paper, industrial heritage in northeast China is selected as the research object, and ArcGIS spatial analysis, concentration index and resource dominance are used to analyze its spatial distribution characteristics, and the relationship between industrial heritage resources and tourism utilization is discussed. The following conclusions are drawn: Industrial heritage in northeast China is dominated by heavy industry and less light industry, and the type distribution is significantly different among provinces. The spatial distribution type of industrial heritage in northeast China is clustered, and it shows an obvious unbalanced structure at city scale. The superiority degree of industrial heritage resources in northeast China is quite different, which mainly has the distribution characteristics of polar core area, highly dense area, sub-dense area and sparse area. Based on this, the author puts forward the utilization methods of industrial heritage tourism from the aspects of promoting the overall balanced development of industrial heritage resources, accelerating the transformation of industrial heritage resources into products, and promoting the brand building of industrial heritage resources products, so as to provide reference for the sustainable development and utilization of industrial heritage.The industrial heritage resources in northeast China exhibit spatial distribution differences, low levels of resource to product conversion, and weak brand effects. Based on this, promote the overall balanced development of industrial heritage resources in the region, form an effective connection and interaction of regional industries with “industrial culture+”, and enhance the potential and efficiency of linkage; Accelerate the transformation of industrial heritage resources into products, and in the process of preserving, changing, and restructuring the functions of various industrial heritage resources, adapt to the needs of urban functional development, and promote the cross-border integration of cultural and tourism resources; Promote the branding of industrial heritage resource products, fully explore industrial cultural elements in the branding of various industrial heritage resources, and propose industrial heritage tourism utilization methods in terms of creating themed, diverse, and experiential industrial tourism products, providing reference for the sustainable development and utilization of industrial heritage.

Based on the import and export data from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and countries along the Belt and Road Initiative from 2002 to 2019, this study utilizes the social network analysis to investigate the structural characteristics and influencing factors of their economic relationship networks. The research findings indicate that overall, the network density between the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and countries along the Belt and Road Initiative has continuously increased, while hierarchical attributes have weakened, and the network structure has become increasingly stable. 2) The network centrality of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has consistently risen, with Guangdong and Hong Kong experiencing significantly greater increases than Macao. 3) Further empirical analysis of factors influencing network centrality among network members shows that economic size, trade openness, research and development investment, human capital, and financial development level have significant positive effects on network centrality. However, for the core layers comprising Guangdong and Hong Kong, economic size, trade openness, and research and development investment are the primary influencing factors on network centrality. Therefore, to promote economic linkage development between the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and countries along the Belt and Road Initiative, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area should further enhance its openness, facilitate free flow of factors, focus on technological research and development, and accelerate the construction of a market-oriented, internationalized, and rule-of-law business environment.

The study of human-land relationship has great urgency and realistic significance to our country. Based on the framework of human-land relationship, and the data of national land change survey and national census, this paper evaluates the coordination degree between urban construction land expansion and urban population growth in 337 cities at prefecture level and above from 2010 to 2020. The results show that: 1) From the perspective of spatial distribution, China's urban population continues to converge to the central node cities in the strategic pattern of "two horizontal and three vertical" urbanization, and mainly concentrates in the eastern area of Hu Huanyong Line. 2) Coordination between regional urban construction land and urban population in China is not strong, the speed of land urbanization is faster than the speed of population urbanization, and some cities show the phenomenon of "the reduction of population urbanization and the increase of land urbanization". 3) The expansion rate of urban construction land is much faster than the growth rate of urban population in urban agglomerations of Harbin-Changchun, the Central and Southern Liaoning, the Shandong Peninsula and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. 4) The human-land relationship in the core cities of the metropolitan areas is more coordinated than that in the peripheral cities. The expansion rate of urban construction land in Wuhan metropolitan area is much faster than the growth rate of urban population。

Different from the previous water rights management at the meso regional level and micro water user level, this article puts the initial water rights of the river basin in the macro common wealth framework, systematically optimizes the initial water rights allocation of the basin from the perspective of fairness and efficiency, constructs a traditional, weighted, sequential bankruptcy game model to clarify the initial water rights allocation scheme, evaluates the overall welfare of the basin using the Kaldor-Hicks criterion, and applies it to the Tarim River Basin, and the Yellow River Basin is used as a substitute basin for testing. The results indicate that: (1) The initial water rights allocation principle is in line with the connotation and value orientation of common prosperity, but the quantitative measurement of fairness and efficiency needs to be improved. The traditional bankruptcy game model has defects such as multidimensional preferences and data distortion, which can be corrected by weighting and other methods. (2) The weight factors of fair negotiation, labor remuneration, and river order make the initial water rights allocation more balanced and fair, with a greater degree of adjustment in labor remuneration. The weight factors of efficiency based water conservancy investment and water resource utilization efficiency make the initial water rights allocation plan more focused on the competitiveness of water resource utilization. After incorporating the river sequence factor into the bankruptcy game model, this research can reflect the information asymmetry of the geographical location of multiple subjects in the basin and the resulting heterogeneity of negotiation status. (3) The Kaldo-Hicks criterion focuses more on improving the overall social benefits when evaluating initial water rights allocation schemes, allowing for individual benefits to decrease while overall benefits increase. It improves the rigorous optimization conditions of the Pareto criterion and is more applicable in practical applications. We should integrate initial water rights allocation into the common prosperity framework, examining how fairness, efficiency, and river sequence factors influence priority-setting among multiple stakeholders in river basins. This approach offers new perspectives for initial water rights allocation and provides a policy foundation for establishing basin-wide allocation systems that advance common prosperity.

Based on the unique geographical and historical background, red brick has become a distinctive urban characteristic in the Fujian-Taiwan region, with its complex cultural background endowing it with rich potential value. However, the current inheritance and continuation of red brick cultural genes face significant challenges. In this study, we apply scene theory to Quanzhou West Street historical and cultural district, which is the most representative red brick area in Quanzhou. This study adopts the framework of the five elements of a scene to analyze the evaluation process of carrier characteristics, behavioral perception, and amenity value. Through a combination of field research, in-depth interviews, surveys, and big data statistical analysis, we investigate the evaluation indicator system for scene amenities at two levels: the macro-level of the entire district and the micro-level of red brick buildings. Our research findings reveal: (1) The scene elements of the red brick historical district include spatial environment, functional medium, diverse groups, activity combinations, and value attraction. (2) The scene functions of the overall district environment include: historical artifacts, cultural displays, and consumption experiences. These three aspects are interrelated, but the overall satisfaction of Quanzhou West Street still needs improvement. (3) The amenities of red brick architecture can be categorized into four types: color aesthetics, texture, decorative details, and regional characteristics. These categories include 12 traditional architectural features such as red bricks, white stones, wood, windows, balconies, external structures, beam decorations, columns, bricklaying methods, internal spaces, main structures, and roofs. Finally, we propose principles for protection and renewal, specific measures, and strategies for controlling the architectural style of red brick buildings. Our research extends the empirical application of scene theory in China, and provides effective approaches for the protection and renewal of historical and cultural districts.

Taking the Yangtze River Economic Belt as the study area and based on the three-variable index data from 2005 to 2020, this study introduces a combined research method based on VAR model and moving time window sHMM (MV-sHMM), and investigates the correlation among the construction industry, energy consumption and carbon emissions, along with their spatiotemporal evolution. The results show that: 1) The development of the construction industry in the Yangtze River Economic Belt has a positive impact on energy consumption and carbon emissions, the impact of energy consumption and carbon emissions on the construction industry transitions from negative to positive before entering a phase of fluctuation, and the effect of energy consumption on carbon emissions shifts from negative to fluctuating. 2) In comparison to the construction industry and energy consumption, carbon emissions exhibit a quicker return to stability. However, in the absence of robust external intervention, the overall recovery rate of the three-variable system is relatively slow. 3) The relationship among the state of the construction industry, energy consumption and carbon emissions demonstrates significant spatial and temporal heterogeneity in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. The decoupling of the construction industry from energy consumption and carbon emissions has gradually expanded from Shanghai and Guizhou to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Hubei. By 2020, the development of the construction industry in the majority of provincial-level regions in the Yangtze River Economic Belt has decoupled from carbon emissions, with a substantial reduction in the growth rate of energy consumption. Carbon emissions, experienced a spatiotemporal evolution process from point to surface. Finally, it proposes some suggestions: the implementation of dynamic and scientific policies, optimization of the energy structure, and the enhancement of diversified cooperation, aiming to provide a reference for promoting the low-carbon, sustainable and high-quality development of the construction industry.

Green finance is also called environmental finance or sustainability finance. As an important kind of financial development, green finance focuses on the win-win situation between the environment and economic growth by supporting the environmental protection industry. On the other hand, the green low-carbon transformation development can form diversified green capital needs, which will induce financial institutions to adjust products and services structure, innovate green finance service models and application scenarios with ecological concepts, and this will promote the development of green finance. Therefore, the concept and practice of green financial development and green low-carbon transformation are highly consistent, and there is an inherent logic of coordination and mutual promotion. However, there is limited literature on the coupling and coordination relationship between green financial development and green low-carbon transformation, and the research on influencing factors needs more in-depth discussions. To reveal the status of coupling and coordination between green financial development and green low-carbon transformation, this study used the entropy method to measure the level of green financial development and green low-carbon transformation, and introduced the coupling and coordination degree model, geodetector, and ArcGIS technology to explore the spatial and temporal variation characteristics and influencing factors of coupling and coordination between green financial development and green low-carbon transformation based on the data of Hunan Province from 2013 to 2021. The results show that the coupling and coordination degree between green financial development and green low-carbon transformation in Hunan Province was on the rise year by year, and continued to improve over time. The status was transiting to a coordinated stage step by step. The coupling and coordination degree in various regions showed a relatively consistent trend with the entire province. The coupling and coordination degree exhibited spatial agglomeration characteristics and presented a green development pattern radiating from Changsha City to the surrounding areas. The spatial differentiation of the coupling and coordination degree was obvious, greater in the eastern region than the western region, and in the northern region than the southern region. However, the growth speed in the western and southern regions was higher than that in the eastern and northern regions. The geodetector test results show that the coupling and coordination degree was influenced by factors of economic development, financial development scale, green R&D investment, digital infrastructure, and regional openness. Among them, the explanatory power of green R&D investment and financial development scale was greater than other factors, and both of them were the driving factors for the coupling and coordination between green financial development and green low-carbon transformation. The research may enable governments to clearly understand the integrated pattern of green financial development and green low-carbon transformation, so as to provide a decision-making reference for the integrated development of green financial development and green low-carbon transformation, and a reliable theoretical basis for cultivating new quality productivity according to local conditions to promote high-quality development.

Taking 122 counties in Hunan Province as an example, this paper builds an index system for residents' living consumption demand, and uses the Moore index to evaluate it. It uses GWR model to analyze the influence of 11 factors of fiscal expenditure structure and social economic structure on the life quality of residents, so as to deconstruct the influence mechanism of spatial differentiation. The results show that: 1) There is an obvious trend of stratification of the living consumption expenditure of residents in counties of Hunan Province, and the development security expenditure has become the dominant expenditure type of residents' consumption expenditure. At the same time, there are significant differences in the structure of residents’ consumption expenditure among counties, and the basic security expenditure in space decreases from the west of Hunan to the east of Hunan, while the development security expenditure decreases from the east of Hunan to the west of Hunan. 2) The life quality of residents in Hunan Province varies significantly, and the value range of the quality index evaluation is [0.295,6.611]. The characteristics of spatial agglomeration are obvious and show a trend of decreasing gradually from the east of Hunan to the west of Hunan. 3) Economic fiscal expenditure has the greatest ability to improve the life quality of residents in Hunan Province, and shows the strip-shape spatial distribution which decreases from the middle of Hunan to the east and the west of Hunan. The positive influence capacity of service fiscal expenditure, people's livelihood fiscal expenditure, human capital fiscal expenditure and maintenance fiscal expenditure decrease successively, and all show a trend of differentiated spatial mode change. The ability of economic development difference positively affects the life quality of residents in Hunan Province and shows the decreasing trend from the east of Hunan to the west of Hunan. The positive improvement ability of the differences in industrial structure, educational equity, employment level and market size decreases successively.

Based on the panel data from 231 prefecture-level cities in China, this paper uses the principal component analysis to construct urban inclusiveness index system from four perspectives: economic, social, cultural, and ecological. It also explores the effects of urban inclusiveness on regional wealth disparity from two perspectives: the willingness to pay for public services between skilled and unskilled migrant workers, and the entrepreneurial behavior of the migrant population. To verify the robustness of the study findings, this paper adopts the data of China Migrants Dynamic Survey to construct an urban inclusiveness index system from four dimensions: inclusive social security, livelihood-based social security, community public services, and urban attractiveness, and explores their effects on regional wealth disparity. The empirical estimation results show that: 1) A higher degree of urban inclusiveness is conducive to reducing the level of regional wealth disparity. 2) The analysis of heterogeneity reveals that the mitigating effect of urban inclusiveness on regional wealth disparity is more pronounced in large cities. 3) More inclusive cities can increase the willingness of skilled workers to pay, while unskilled workers remain insensitive to urban inclusiveness. 4) An increase in urban inclusiveness can significantly improve the entrepreneurial propensity of the migrant population. The empirical findings and policy recommendations of this paper point to the critical role of improved urban inclusiveness in reducing regional wealth disparity, and it is necessary for the government to take a series of measures to promote the improvement of urban inclusiveness level.

The development of characteristic agriculture is an important approach to achieving rural revitalization and promoting county-level economic development by stimulating industrial vitality. How to combine resource advantages and transform them into industrial strengths is the key to build a high-quality characteristic agriculture industry. This paper selects 31 county-level characteristic agriculture cases as research objects, constructs a TOE and dual-dimensional theoretical indicator system, and uses fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) to extract element combinations and examine the influencing factors and differentiated paths of characteristic agricultural development in China's county-level areas. The study shows that: (1) "organizational resources" and "crop varieties" are the core factors for achieving high-quality development in county-level characteristic agriculture. (2) The high-quality development of county-level characteristic agriculture presents mixed development models, including market-oriented, organization-oriented, and technology-oriented models, as well as outward development models embedded in elements and inward development models relying on endowments. (3) Non-high-quality development of county-level characteristic agriculture exists in outward deficiency models constrained by organizations and mixed deficiency models constrained by organizations-environment and technology-environment. (4) The integration of multiple resource paths from both internal and external drivers is more effective than relying on a single internal or external driver in constructing action mechanisms for high-quality characteristic agriculture development. Based on the above research results, this paper proposes diversified, complementary, and integrated development path suggestions for county-level characteristic agriculture in China, providing a reference for achieving agricultural and rural modernization.

This study utilizes the entropy method to measure the high-quality development level of the digital economy and circulation industry in 30 provincial-level regions of China from 2012 to 2021. It empirically examines the impact mechanisms and spatial spillover effects of digital economy on the regional high-quality development of circulation industry using the methods of fixed effects model and spatial Durbin model. The main findings are as follows: 1) The development of the digital economy exerts a significantly positive impact on the high-quality development of the circulation industry, exhibiting a spatial pattern that weakens gradually from the western region to the eastern region and the central region. 2) The digital economy promotes the high-quality development of the circulation industry through the transmission channels of human capital, industrial upgrading, and innovation output. Enhancing human capital and innovation output is the long-term pathways for the digital economy to empower the high-quality development of the circulation industry. 3) The circulation industry demonstrates overall spatial agglomeration patterns of "high-high" and "low-low", presenting a tendency toward regional equilibrium or broader spatial diffusion. 4) The digital economy's enabling effects on the high-quality development of the circulation industry reveal significant polarization-trickle-down effects, accompanied by a tendency toward spatial spillover.

Based on the check-in spot data shared by users of Xiaohongshu platform and the POI data of Amap, this study explores the spatial distribution of urban Internet-famous recreational spaces (IRSs) and physical recreational spaces (PRSs) and their differences in main urban area of Changsha by the means of spatial analysis methods, and reveals its formation mechanisms using the grounded theory method according to online texts and interview transcripts. The results indicate that: 1) Overall, IRSs in Changsha's main urban area exhibit the distribution trend of a northeast-southwest orientation, while PRSs exhibit the distribution trend of a northwest-southeast orientation. The clustering intensity and scale distance of IRSs are both weaker than that of PRSs, showing a "polar-core with multiple points" distribution pattern with distinct core-periphery characteristics, while PRSs display a "single-core with multi-centered patchy" distribution. 2) Compared with PRSs, The high-cluster areas of IRSs in Changsha have notably shifted westward, primarily concentrating in high-vitality public recreational areas such as urban waterfronts, suburban mountainous regions, and commercial district. 3) The formation of IRSs' distribution characteristics is the result of the joint action of human-media-place and other factors. The characteristics and charms of urban PRSs provide a physical basis for the formation of IRSs' distribution characteristics. The popularity and influence of social media have strengthened the formation of IRSs' distribution characteristics, the change of the psychology and behavioural patterns of tourists is an important trigger for the formation of IRSs' characteristics. Based on the above, this research proposes specific measures for shaping IRSs from the perspectives of human, media, and place respectively.

Traditional village tourism symbiosis system is based on the symbiosis unit formed by the interdependence of elements between villages, in the symbiosis environment, with the help of a variety of interactive synergistic relationships and symbiosis modes of construction of the organic whole. It aims to integrate village tourism resources, promote village symbiosis linkage, and enhance the effect of regional tourism development. Based on the symbiosis theory, the article clarifies the three elements of the symbiosis system, such as symbiosis unit, symbiosis mode and symbiosis environment. Along the path of "tourism source-resistance surface-tourism corridor", the traditional village tourism symbiosis system is constructed. We analyze the characteristics of traditional villages' tourism resources, clarify the spatial patterns of different types of symbiotic systems, and propose a tourism development model. The results show that: (1) There are 33 symbiotic units of traditional villages in Chongqing, with large spatial differences in the value of ecological and cultural resources in different places. There are 21 high-value symbiotic units, accounting for 63.63% of the total, which are mainly distributed in the southeastern mountains where minorities gather. (2) There are 83 traditional village tourism corridors in Chongqing, and the average value of symbiotic environment maturity score is 0.068, showing the spatial pattern of "West Chongqing>Northeast Chongqing>Southeast Chongqing". (3) The symbiotic systems of traditional village tourism in Chongqing are categorized into cultural heritage type, ecological landscape type, and ecological and cultural comprehensive development type, accounting for 59.04%, 14.46%, and 26.51%, respectively. Each type of system makes full use of the interaction between natural landscape and minority culture, farming culture, etc. to enhance the development capacity of traditional village tourism and promote common prosperity. The innovative contribution of this study lies in constructing a symbiotic system for traditional village tourism based on symbiosis theory. It successfully solves the problem of isolated tourism development among traditional villages. It provides an important reference and methodology for comprehensively integrating traditional village tourism resources, constructing a new pattern of tourism development, and promoting diversified and high-quality development of traditional villages.

This study establishes a dual-scale evaluation system for the high-quality development of marine tourism at both the provincial and municipal levels. Utilizing the BP neural network model and kernel density estimation, it comprehensively measures the high-quality development level of marine tourism in 11 provincial-level regions and 56 coastal cities in China from 2011 to 2022. It systematically compares and analyzes the spatio-temporal differentiation patterns across both provincial and municipal scales. Based on the institutional logic theory of "government-technology-market", it employs dynamic Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) to identify differentiated development pathways at both scales. The findings indicate that: 1) In terms of temporal evolution, it exhibits fluctuating and phased characteristics at provincial level, and demonstrate an overall positive development trend at municipal level. 2) In terms of type structure and spatial differentiation, it displays a spindle-shaped structure with "low-lower-high-higher" levels, expanding inwardly and contracting outwardly, accompanied by significant maritime differentiation that transitions from "multiple points of development" to "north-south differentiation" at provincial level. It exhibits a pyramid structure with "low-lower-high-higher" levels decreasing gradually from bottom to top, highlighting the agglomeration effect of urban agglomerations at municipal level. 3) In terms of development pathways, it is driven by the synergy of technology and market at provincial level, and driven by the multifaceted interplay among government, technology, and market at municipal level. The research conclusions provide theoretical support for systematically evaluating the dimensions and logical relationships of high-quality development of marine tourism across both provincial and municipal scales, offering pathway guidance and decision-making basis for promoting the high-quality development of marine tourism in China.
