The New Quality Productive Forces (NQPF) are poised to redefine the trajectory of China's New-Type Urbanization (NTU). However, the internal laws of spatial patterns and the determinants of their interactions still require further exploration. This study develops a multi-dimensional index system and calculates the weights. It then employs various analytical tools, including the coupling coordination degree model (CCDM), geographical detector, geographically weighted regression model, and time prediction model, to systematically examine the coupling coordination mechanism between NQPF and NTU in 283 prefecture-level cities nationwide. The levels of NQPF and NTU both exhibited a steady growth trend, and their spatial patterns both displayed an east-high and west-low gradient, closely correlating with the socio-economic levels of cities. The CCD in China's urban increased from 0.476 in 2000–0.665 in 2022, with the Northeast, Central, and Western regions consistently below the Eastern region. The gap in CCD levels among these four major regions continued to widen, and predictions indicate that this disparity will persist until 2030. The development level of NTU has become the main obstacle to enhancing the CCD, with social and space urbanization posing the greatest obstacles. Among the influencing factors, eight indicators such as the number of manufacturing employees can effectively improve the coupling coordination level. Non-linear interaction among dust emissions, waste gas emissions, and other indicators can enhance the CCD, while the action coefficients of 12 typical indicators show significant spatial heterogeneity due to regional resource endowment differences. The research results provide theoretical support for resolving the structural contradictions in the development of NQPF and NTU, and offer path guidance for the coordinated and mutually-promoting progress of China's productivity innovation and urbanization leap-forward development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"158 ","pages":"Article 107724"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144852352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, it becomes pertinent to understand how women are using social media as it allows them to read or watch content as well as enable them to produce content. The present study conducted a systematic review of literature using the keywords, Instagram, women and self-objectification following PRISMA guidelines. Instagram was studied as it has emerged as the most popular image based social networking sites, while women and self-objectification were chosen as mass media so far has presented stereotypical images of women. This review of existing literature shows that using Instagram can lead to body dissatisfaction, body surveillance, drive for thinness, low self-esteem and life satisfaction, and increased level of anxiety and depression in women. Hence, programs on media literacy need to be initiated to increase awareness of latent effects of media among users of media, particularly of social networking sites.
