ABSTRACT

Rigid constraints of resources，ecological imbalance gradually and environmental deterioration have been breaking regional and national boundaries，evolving into global issues.China as a major economic power and political power，the rapid economic growth can no longer paid on ecology，resources and environment.

On the basis of theoretical analysis and practical research，synergetic development of regional ecology-environment-economy-society （for short of EEES） coupling system is on research.

Multi-disciplinary theories，multi-technologies，multi-studying methodologies and systematic and hierarchical classification are used throughout in this dissertation.Main work，innovative explorations and conclusions as follows：

First，elements，features，functions of regional EEES coupling system，the coupling connections，principles，effects of subsystems and elements have been elaborated.Regional EEES coupling system made up of population，environment，technology，information，systems and other elements.Population is the main body in coupling； environment is the base in coupling； technology and information are important intermediaries and bridges； system is the catalyst.The system has characteristics as integration and symbiosis，openness and dynamics，complexity and uncertainty，self-organization and other-organization.System functions ensure the material flow，energy flow，information flow，population flow and value flows which called“five streams”operating efficiently，and achieve ecological benefit，economic benefit，and social benefit which called “three benefits”in synergy.Goal of the system is producing positive and cooperative effects under the guidance of principles and modes which conclude synergistic coupling mode，integrated mode and benefit mode.

Second，Logistic equations，coupling entropy model，and order parameter model of synergetic development have been established to analyze the evolution mechanism of regional EEES coupling system.Logistic curve equations have been used to classify system evolution curves into different types as back，loop，stagnant and combination logistic growth type.Concept of coupling entropy has been introduced.Coupling entropy calculating equation has been established.Coupling entropy has been classified into coupling scale entropy，coupling rate entropy and coupling structure entropy.Specific formulas of the three entropies have been given.Model including four sub-systems and multiple order parameters have been established.

Third，using fuzzy theory and DEA model integrally，synergetic development of Henan's EEES coupling system has been evaluated from time sequence and spatial sequence.time sequence results showed that Henan' EEES system in the several time periods during years 1990－1993，1998－2004，2007－2008，2010were in comprehensive efficiency； years of 1995，1996，1997，2009 were effective in synergy，but non-effective in development； years of 1994，2005，2006 were non-effective both in synergy and development.spatial sequence results show that synergetic development of Henan' EEES coupling system in the 18 cities classified in the fourth category.The first category including areas of Zhengzhou，Kaifeng，Hebi，Luohe，Zhoukou and Jiyuan whose DEA efficiency value is equal to 1，shows that these areas' ecological，economic，environmental and social interaction collaborative development condition is best.The second type including areas of Shangqiu，Xuchang，Pingdingshan，whose DEA efficiency value between 0.9281 to 0.9382，and synergetic development is better.Third types including areas of Jiaozuo，Nanyang，Anyang，Puyang，Luoyang，belongs to the intermediate cooperative area.the fourth type area of Xinyang，Zhumadian，Xinxiang，Sanmenxia belong to the primary Synergetic development.

Fourth，using fuzzy theory and DEA model integrally，synergetic development of Inner Mongolia EEES coupling system has been evaluated from vertical level and horizontal level.Longitudinal results showed that Inner Mongolia' EEES system in the several time periods during years 1990－1992，1995－1996， 1999，2001－2004，2007，2009－2010 were in comprehensive efficiency； years of 1993，1996，1998，2000 were effective in synergy，but non-effective in development； years of 1994，1997，2005，2006，2008 were non-effective both in synergy and development.Horizontal results show that synergetic development of Inner Mongolia' EEES coupling system in the 31 regions in China classified in the fourth category whose comprehensive efficiency of synergetic development was only 0.5146，staying in a initial cooperating state.Redundant rates of resources，environmental inputs were too high.Cooperating development model should be taken actively in the future.Synergetic development of Henan' EEES coupling system in the 31 regions in China classified in the fourth category as well whose comprehensive efficiency of synergetic development was only 0.4857，staying in a initial cooperating state.Redundant rates of environmental and economy inputs were too high and output deficiency rate of Social system and ecological system are high.Cooperating development model should be taken actively in the future.

Fifth，countermeasures of collaborative development of EEES coupling system of Henan province were put forward.Economic system adheres to the“three aspects coordination strategy”and“industry driven strategy”.The key point of three aspects coordination is the transfer of rural labor force.The key point of rural labor transfer is to build“three-in-one demonstration area”as employment，training and housing.Main implementation paths of industry driven strategy are to construct a new system of modern industry，promote fusion and development of traditional industries and emerging industries，promote fusion and development of industrial transfer and industrial innovation，and promote upgrading of industry gathering area.The key of social system is to promote the reform of social security in Henan province.The key points of resources and environment systems' synergeticd development are taking part in specific and operable measures.

Sixth，synergetic development implementations of Inner Mongolia' EEES coupling system have been described from three levels of strategic level，path selection and implementation.From strategic level，ecological-economy functional areas supported by science and technology should be built.At the same time principle of different areas with different coupling methods and governance should be used.From path selection，on basis of industries' ecological transformation and the coupling of eco-tourism and industry tourism，Golden triangle and little golden triangle industry tourism areas should be built.From implementation level，Three-park interaction mechanism including Pioneer Park，Housing Park and Training Park has been proposed in ecological emigration process，from which Learned Helplessness of lag areas can be avoided.
