Abstract

In the context of rapid urbanization and limited land amount, it is essential to scientifically evaluate the urban land green use efficiency (ULGUE) to promote regional sustainable development. Current studies are of great value for enriching the theoretical system and application research of ULGUE. Still, most of them only consider industrial pollution but ignore carbon emission as an essential environmental influencing indicator. This paper introduced carbon emissions into the input-output indicator system, measured ULGUE of 57 cities in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) over the 2004–2017 periods using the super-efficiency slacked-based measure (Super-SBM) model, analyzed its spatio-temporal patterns with the kernel density estimation (KDE) model and spatial autocorrelation model, and then identified the influencing factors with the Spatial Durbin model (SDM). As shown by the results, firstly, the ULGUE in the YRB over the 2004–2017 periods showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing. Secondly, the ULGUE exhibited spatio-temporal imbalance characteristics across the YRB. Thirdly, ULGUE was the interaction of multiple indicators, and its influencing factors had spatial spillover effects. All in all, this paper is fundamental to the high-quality development of cities in the background of the Chinese policy of “carbon peak, carbon neutralization”.
