Abstract:

Taking 116 cities in the Yellow River Basin as the research unit, a "Five in One" comprehensive evaluation system composed of economic, political, cultural, social and ecological dimensions is constructed. Combination weight method and weighted TOPSIS are used to analyze the spatial differences of each subdivision dimension and comprehensive development. Furthermore, based on the coupling coordination model and spatial autocorrelation method, the research was conducted on the coupling coordination and spatial agglomeration. The results show that: (1) In terms of comprehensive development, the "Five in One" spatial pattern in the Yellow River Basin is high in the east and south and low in the west and north. High and sub-high grade cities are mainly distributed in most of Shandong, Henan and southeast of Sichuan in the east of the basin, while medium and low grade cities are located in north and west provinces of the Yellow River Basin due to the bad natural environment, sparse population distribution and poor economic foundation. (2) In terms of subdivision dimension, there is a large gap among cities in the Yellow River Basin in economic dimension, and a small difference in ecological dimension. In addition, the five subdivision dimensions show great morphological differences in spatial distribution. (3) In terms of coordinated development, most cities in the Yellow River Basin have a low coupling degree of "Five in One", and a large potential for coordinated development. (4) In terms of spatial agglomeration, cities in the Yellow River Basin have strong positive spatial correlation in five subdivision dimensions, and the degree of agglomeration is political dimension > cultural dimension > social dimension > ecological dimension > economic dimension.

Key words: Five in One, comprehensive evaluation, system construction, the Yellow River Basin
