Spatio-temporal patterns and driving factors of green development level in alpine meadow regions: A case study in Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture

Green development is an approach that harmonizes human beings with nature and leads to sustainable social and economic development. However, the factors influencing the level of green development are uncertain due to regional differences, especially in the alpine meadow regions. To explore the facto...

description Green development is an approach that harmonizes human beings with nature and leads to sustainable social and economic development. However, the factors influencing the level of green development are uncertain due to regional differences, especially in the alpine meadow regions. To explore the factors affecting green development in the alpine meadow region, we took the Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture as an example. Through a green development level evaluation index system, the DPSIR (Driver, Pressure, State, Impact, and Response) was constructed to comprehensively evaluate and analyze the green development level of the study area from 1990 to 2020. On this basis, the key influencing factors of the green development level was analyzed based on the GeoDetector. The findings indicate that the total level of green development in Gannan has an upward trend within the range of 0.044–0.535, moving towards high quality and sustainable development. Except for 2005, the spatial clustering characteristics of the green development level did not display obvious high values of spatial autocorrelation. The green development space is concentrated and stable, and the centre of gravity is in Zhuoni. The impact and response dimensions make the greatest contribution to green development. Different evaluation indicators have different impacts on green development during the study period. Specifically, people’s productive lives, the impact of social production and positive policy responses are the main factors contributing to green development. The findings will provide theoretical basis and case support for ecological security and green sustainable development in the alpine meadow regions.
