In recent years, urbanization has been developing rapidly. However, it is also accompanied by land management problems, such as low land use efficiency. In this research, we manage to explore the temporal and spatial evolution laws as well as characteristics of the coupling and coordinated development between urbanization and land use benefits. Through this, it is possible for us to provide policy recommendations for the sustainable development of the urbanization in Fujian Province. In this study, we take prefecture-level municipal districts and county-level cities in Fujian as the research subject. We construct an index system, based on data in 2002, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2017, to evaluate the urban land use benefits and urbanization. Besides, we leverage the Gini coefficient weighting method to give weight to each index and calculate the value of its benefits. Moreover, it is the relative development degree and the coupling coordination degree model that we comprehensively leverage to study the spatiotemporal evolution law of the coupling coordination degree (CCD). The results show that: (1) Urban land use benefits and urbanization level are positively correlated with the regional administrative level and economic development status; (2) The CCD of urban land use benefits and urbanization level in various regions of Fujian is still low. However, the overall development direction is good; (3) From the perspective of spatial distribution, the CCD owns a “center-periphery” pattern that is based on the law of diminishing CCD power from three central cities of Fuzhou, Xiamen, and Sanming. Consequently, it requires governments to take action. Firstly, they should promote the intensive land use in the urbanization process. Meanwhile, they should also pay attention to ecological environment protection. Besides, it is recommendable to give full play to the radiating and leading effect of central cities on surrounding ones. Finally, they are required to provide appropriate policies and resource support to peripheral cities.

城市土地利用效益与城市化水平的耦合协调发展-以福建省为例。

近年来，城市化发展迅速。但是，这也伴随着土地管理问题，例如土地利用效率低下。在这项研究中，我们设法探索时空演变规律以及城市化与土地利用收益之间的耦合和协调发展特征。这样，我们就有可能为福建省城市化的可持续发展提供政策建议。本研究以福建省地级市辖区和县级市为研究对象。我们基于2002年，2005年，2010年，2015年和2017年的数据构建指标体系，以评估城市土地使用收益和城市化水平。除了，我们利用基尼系数加权法为每个指数赋予权重，并计算其收益价值。此外，我们综合利用相对发展度和耦合协调度模型来研究耦合协调度（CCD）的时空演化规律。研究结果表明：（1）城市土地利用效益和城市化水平与区域行政管理水平和经济发展状况正相关；（2）福建各地域城市土地利用效益和城市化水平的CCD仍然较低。但是，总体发展方向是好的。（3）从空间分布的角度来看，CCD拥有“中心-外围”模式，该模式基于福州，厦门和三明这三个中心城市的CCD功率递减规律。因此，这要求政府采取行动。首先，他们应在城市化进程中促进土地集约利用。同时，也要注意生态环境保护。此外，建议充分发挥中心城市对周边城市的辐射和领导作用。最后，要求他们为周边城市提供适当的政策和资源支持。
