Abstract

Arid regions in Northwestern China, such as Ganzhou District, are crucial for agriculture but face challenges due to water scarcity. This study employs a coupling coordination model to analyse the environmental impact of agricultural water use in Ganzhou District and dissect the tension between agricultural development and ecological concerns. Despite an overall positive trend, the study reveals relatively poor coordination between water use and environmental protection, along with uneven spatial distribution. Examining the tension between agricultural expansion and its environmental repercussions, this study offers a reference for efforts to promote sustainable practices in agriculture and environmental management in oases.

实现绿洲用水与环境保护之间的平衡--中国甘州区案例研究

中国西北干旱地区（如甘州区）对农业至关重要，但也面临着水资源短缺的挑战。本研究采用耦合协调模型分析甘州区农业用水对环境的影响，剖析农业发展与生态问题之间的矛盾。尽管总体趋势良好，但研究发现水资源利用与环境保护之间的协调性相对较差，且空间分布不均。本研究探讨了农业扩张与环境影响之间的矛盾，为促进绿洲农业和环境管理的可持续发展提供了参考。

期刊介绍： The Journal aims to publish the best research on international development issues in a form that is accessible to practitioners and policy-makers as well as to an academic audience. The main focus is on the social sciences - economics, politics, international relations, sociology and anthropology, as well as development studies - but we also welcome articles that blend the natural and social sciences in addressing the challenges for development. The Journal does not represent any particular school, analytical technique or methodological approach, but aims to publish high quality contributions to ideas, frameworks, policy and practice, including in transitional countries and underdeveloped areas of the Global North as well as the Global South.
