EVOLUTION OF THE EVALUATION INDEX SYSTEM FOR REGIONAL CIRCULAR ECONOMY DEVELOPMENT: XINYU HIGH-TECH ZONE
Abstract
This paper aims to explore the construction method of the evaluation index system for regional circular economic development and analyze its evolution path. The research takes the Chinese economy as an example and conducts in-depth studies on 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Gov-ernment. By constructing an evaluation index system covering three dimensions of economy, resources and environment, and adopting principal component analysis and spatial analysis methods, the development level of circular economy in each region was scientifically evaluated. The research results show that there are obvious regional differences in the development level of China's circular economy. The development level in the eastern coastal areas is relatively high, while that in the central and west-ern regions is relatively low. Based on this, this paper puts forward policy suggestions such as strengthening regional cooperation, focusing on the quality and sustainability of economic growth, and maintaining social stability. This article conducts an in-depth study on the development of circular economy in Xinyu High-tech Zone. By analyzing its economic development overview, the devel-opment model of circular economy and the construction of the evaluation system of circular economy, the successful experiences were summarized, the existing problems were identified, and corresponding countermeasures and suggestions were put for-ward. The research results show that Xinyu High-tech Zone has achieved remarkable results in the development of a circular economy, but it still faces some challenges, such as structural problems in the heavy chemical industry and the overall lagging performance of resource output rate. This article aims to provide references and lessons for the development of circular economy in other regions. As an important economic development area in Jiangxi Province, the High-tech Zone of Xinyu City has been actively exploring the development path of the circular economy and has achieved remarkable results.
