Abstract:The industrial structure of the provinces in the Yellow River Basin, which is dominated by energy, chemical industry, raw materials, agriculture and animal husbandry, limits the development space of green economy and green logistics. In addition, there are great differences in spatial distribution such as geographical location, resource conditions and development level, so that the coordinated development level of green logistics and green economy varies across these regions. Under the background of the national strategy of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin and the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, it is necessary to carry out the coordinated development of green logistics and green economy in the Yellow River basin to improve its ecological environment quality. Therefore, based on the panel data of nine provinces in the Yellow River Basin from 2010 to 2021, the entropy weight method, coupling coordination degree model and kernel density estimation were used to analyze the coordinated development of green logistics and green economy. Additionally, the geographic detector model is used to identify the driving factors from five aspects of scientific and technological achievements, scientific and technological investment, financial level, informatization level, and government support. The results show that the mean value of the coupling coordination degree between green logistics and green economy in the Yellow River Basin increases steadily. The coordination degree gradually converged towards the high coordination area over time, generally ranging from moderate misalignment to initial coordination. The level of coordinated development is affected by five main factors: scientific and technological achievements, scientific and technological investment, financial level, informatization level and, government support, among which informatization level, scientific and technological achievements and financial level are the leading factors of spatial differentiation. Based on this, it is suggested that the provinces in the Yellow River basin firmly establish a system concept, adhere to localized strategies, leverage comparative advantages, accelerate the application and commercialization of innovative scientific and technological achievements, and continuously enhance the informatization level of logistics enterprises.
