Abstrakt: This paper analyzed the spatial-temporal pattern of the degree of coordination between economic and environmental development in Central China region from 2008 to 2018 by means of the entropy method, exploratory spatial data analysis, and the Tapio decoupling index model and then explored the influencing factors with the Tobit model. The research found: (1) the urbanization level of the cities in Central China has been improved significantly, whereas their eco-environmental levels are fluctuating with the growth rate lower than that of urbanization. The coordination level between the two systems is on the rise, changing from primary dysfunction to intermediate coordination. (2) The coordination level is characterized by obvious spatial association dominated by Types H-H and L-L, as well as ever-increasing agglomeration. The decoupling between the two systems indicates that there is a negative effect between the two, and there is a problem regarding negative urbanization development. (3) Factors including energy consumption, investment in fixed assets, openness to the outside world, technological progress, and government management capabilities all have an impact on the coordination of the two with different levels of significance [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
