Abstract

The level and speed of regional economic development are closely intertwined with transportation infrastructure. In the context of limited resources, the mutual adaptation of economy and road construction is crucial for achieving maximum efficiency. To probe into the mutual influence between county economies and their road infrastructure in underdeveloped and developed counties, this study employs the coupling coordination degree model to explore the coordinated development of the county economy-road system. Detailed data analysis reveals significant differences in the coupling coordination degree of the economy-road system among different counties in China. Overall, the development of the economy and roads is still in a phase of mutual adaptation, indicating immense potential for future improvement. In terms of coupling degree, developed counties exhibit a benign mutually reinforcing trend between their economy and road development, while underdeveloped counties remain in a period of mutual adjustment. In terms of coordination degree, the overall coordination level of the economy-road system in developed counties is superior to that of underdeveloped counties. Additionally, the study finds that over half of the counties are ahead in road construction compared to their economic development. Developed counties’ economies can better match their road construction levels, while underdeveloped counties’ economies lag significantly behind their road construction progress.
