Performance evaluation of urban two oriented society development in Hunan Province from the perspective of low carbon

Abstract

According to the requirements of “two oriented” social development, this paper makes an empirical study on the construction performance of 13 prefecture level cities in Hunan Province from a low-carbon perspective by comparing the evaluation index systems of ecological city and low-carbon city. This paper compares and analyzes the changes of 13 prefecture level cities in four aspects: economic development, social development, resource conservation and environmental protection. Before and after Hunan Province became the experimental area of “two oriented” social reform, the results show that in terms of urban economy, 13 cities show a development model of high in the East and low in the west, especially the economic development of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration is significantly faster than that of other prefecture level cities. In terms of urban society, compared with other aspects, the change gap is the smallest, among which Changsha is the fastest and Zhangjiajie is the slowest. In terms of urban resources, the overall level changes greatly compared with other parts. Among them, Changsha, Shaoyang and other cities consume less resources, while Loudi, Yueyang and other cities in the old industrial base consume more resources. In terms of urban environment, most urban environments have improved. In general, the construction of “two oriented cities” in 13 prefecture level cities in Hunan Province has improved in terms of economy, society, resources and environment, but there is still great room for improvement, especially in infrastructure construction, scientific and technological level, utilization rate of “three wastes” and urban environmental governance capacity.
