Abstract

Promoting the coupling coordination of water system management and socio-economic development is the driving force for regional sustainable development. In this paper, the evaluation index system of water system management and socio-economic development is constructed, and the comprehensive development coefficients are calculated by using the combination of entropic weight method and variation coefficient method, then the coupling coordination degree (CCD) model and scissor difference method are applied to analyse the differences between water system management and socio-economic development, as well as the coupling coordination level and the evolution speed in Xi’an, from 2009 to 2019. The results showed that: (1) The comprehensive development coefficient of Xi’an water system management showed a fluctuating upward trend, and the socio-economic development increased steadily yearly. (2) The CCD increased from 0.440 to 0.830, and it evolved from slightly unbalanced development with socio-economy lagged in 2009 to favourably balanced development with water system management lagged in 2019. (3) The scissors difference in inverted “U” shape, indicating that the gaps between the two systems are gradually decreasing. Subsequently, based on the results of the above analysis, policy suggestions are made to ensure a balanced development in Xi’an and to provide experience for other water-scarce cities to set up water system management strategies.
