Abstract:

Firstly, this paper proposes to build new urbanization indexes from four dimensions by analyzing where the "new" in the new urbanization is reflected. Then, we confirm that the new urbanization and eco-environmental quality have obvious spatial agglomeration and spatial spillover effect through spatial autocorrelation test and spatially localized LISA. After adding time and space factors, this study uses an improved STIRPAT model to study the influence and spatial spillover effect of new-type urbanization on urban eco-environmental quality using 284 prefecture level cities in China between 2003 and 2012. The results show that the new-type urbanization plays a decisive role in the factors affecting urban eco-environmental quality, which improves not only the quality of local eco-environmental quality, but also the nearby city through the spatial spillover effect. At the same time, due to the spatial attenuation and regional administrative barriers, the eco-environmental quality of nearby city has a negative effect on local eco-environmental quality. Finally, from a micro perspective, population, economic and spatial urbanization play a negative role in the eco-environment quality, while steady progress of social urbanization improves its eco-environmental quality.

Key words: new-type urbanization, eco-environmental quality, STIRPAT model, spatial spillover
