Abstract

In recent years, environmental pollution and massive consumption of resources in the traditional development model have posed significant challenges to the environment and society. In this study, we discuss the influencing factors of high-quality development. High-quality development is increasingly important to exploring the current state of quality development in China. Using the evaluation data of the major nodes of China’s provincial administrative regions from 2007 to 2019, the entropy value method was applied to calculate the comprehensive index of high-quality regional development, explain the spatial and temporal evolution pattern of China’s high-quality regional development, and reveal the internal driving factors of spatial and temporal evolution. The study concludes that the level of high-quality regional development in the east is higher than that in the western region, and the level of high-quality regional development in the southern region is higher than that in the north. Investment influence, industrial development, and urban–rural development have positive effects on high-quality regional development. However, location and transportation negatively affect high-quality regional development.
