Abstract

The digital economy is booming worldwide, and industrial digitalization in particular has recently become very popular in China. This paper examines the coupled and coordinated development of the logistics industry, digitalization, and ecological civilization, as well as the barriers in China’s ecological civilization pilot provinces (Fujian, Jiangxi, Guizhou, and Hainan). The study shows that these four provinces have neglected ecological civilization in the coordinated development of the three. In terms of spatial and temporal distribution, the coupled coordination of the three in Fujian and Jiangxi provinces fluctuates at a high level. The three-coupling coordination of Guizhou and Hainan provinces, on the other hand, fluctuates at a low level. On this basis, the main reasons for the coordinated development of the logistics industry, digitalization, and ecological civilization in four Chinese provinces are analyzed and some specific suggestions are made.
