Abstract

In order to facilitate the balanced advancement of regional economic systems and natural resource-ecological systems in Anhui Province, a multi-dimensional indicator dataset spanning 2009 to 2021 was compiled. Data standardization techniques were employed to preprocess the dataset, an information weight quantification approach was utilized to compute indicator weights, and a synergistic harmonization assessment framework was applied to dissect the interconnected dynamics between regional economic systems and natural resource-ecological systems. The key findings are outlined as follows: (1) The integrated assessment metric of natural resource-ecological systems in Anhui Province exhibited an oscillating ascending trajectory over the 2009–2021 study period. (2) The integrated assessment metric of regional economic advancement in Anhui Province demonstrated a pronounced linear expansion trajectory from 2009 to 2021, signifying that the provincial economy has remained in a phase of accelerated advancement. (3) A robust synergistic harmonization interconnection exists between regional economic systems and natural resource-ecological systems in Anhui Province.
