Spatiotemporal Evolution and Influencing Factors of Urban Land Ecological Security in Yunnan Province

Abstract

(1) Background: Urban land ecological security is the basis and premise to ensure the sustainable utilization of urban land resources and regional sustainable development. However, urban land ecological security and its influencing factors have not been studied thoroughly. (2) Methods: An index system of urban land ecological security in Yunnan Province from 2010 to 2019 was constructed, and a comprehensive index of urban land ecological security was calculated by using analytic hierarchy process, entropy weight method, and comprehensive index method, and the LSDVC (Biased-corrected Least Square Dummy Variables) dynamic panel model was constructed from the economic, social and geographical dimensions to systematically analyze the influencing factors of urban land ecological security in Yunnan Province. (3) Results: The comprehensive index of urban land ecological security was significantly affected by the previous period, showing obvious inertia; with the improvement of urbanization level, the comprehensive index of urban land ecological security showed an inverted “U” shape, which first increased and then decreased; the decrease in comprehensive energy consumption per unit of industry and the improvement of fixed-asset investment level, science and technology level, and GDP will significantly promote the ecological security of urban land.
