Coupled Coordination between Urbanization and Intensive Urban Land Use in Shandong Province

In the progress of urbanization,the relation between land use and urban development is increasingly close.Intensive urban land use level restricts the urbanization level,and the quality of urbanization impacts the degree of intensive urban land use.Shandong Province was taken as the study area,and the index system of urbanization and intensive urban land use was established,then the coupled coordination model was introduced to calculate the urbanization and land intensive use index,the coupled degree and coordinated development degree of 17 cities in Shandong Province by using the variance of the weight method.The coupled coordination between urbanization and urban land intensive use were analyzed comprehensively based on the results obtained form the calculation.The results showed that the relationship between the urbanization and urban land intensive use was close and mutually reinforcing;urbanization level and intensive land use degree did not match in most cities of Shandong province,and the degree of urban coordination development was at a low level stage;urban planners and managers must control the gap between urbanization level and intensive land use degree within a certain scale.
