The optimization of the coordination of industry and ecology refers to the ideal status in which orderly structure,effective functioning,stable operation and high-quality results are achieved through regulating factor inputs and controlling the processes of mutual acting,coupling and back coupling .It not only reflects the consistence of industrial and ecological systems in the evolving process but also the co-optimization of both systems .The optimization of coordination is characterized by the integrations of form and content,vertical and horizontal directions,stock and increment,quality and quantity,process and result,and the present and future . By introducing the indicators of optimization,a method of empirical analysis is created in the sense of the organic coupling of the co-optimization of the coordination of industrial and ecological systems .In other words,by using to represent the co-optimization between industrialization and ecology,we made an empirical analysis based on the panel data of 31 provinces in China from 2003—2011 by (1) the calculation formula of G = (1-| Esi-Fsi |)×(1-| Eti-Fit | ),which is based on different is,the result of the calculation of the dynamic coordination indicators between the results of the industrial operation system(Esi,here i represents the ordinal numbers of provinces) and the ecological operational system (Fsi,here i represents the ordinal number of provinces)which is calculated in terms of time sequence data,and (2) the calculation of the static coordination indicators between the indicators of industrial functioning (Eit,here i is the annual number of provinces)and those of ecological functioning(Fit,here i refers to the annual number of provinces) calculated in terms of cross sectional data .The result indicates that the average level of development coordination is not high,that the optimization of development coordination in the central region takes the lead,followed by the western region,with the eastern region at the rear,a typical feature of polarization .The result also shows that the average level of development coordination is declining,that the gap of optimization of development coordination is expanding,that the momentum of optimization in the western region is obviously stronger than that in the and central regions of China,which in turn is stronger than the eastern region as the latter is experiencing substantial decline .The root of these problems lies in the serious dis-embeddedness of industrialization and ecological civilization . Except for Tibet whose industrialization is insufficient,the other 30 provinces in China are experiencing dis-embeddedness to some extent . Three reasons are found to account for this dis-embeddedness :first,they fail to adopt pathways to distinctive industrialization according to their own ecological capacities ;second,their fiscal institutions have not formulated appropriate policies ; third,they fail to establish distinctive evaluation frameworks based on their own ecological capacities . Although improving the optimization of coordinated development is the route we must take to achieve long-term,sustainable,effective and risk-free development,it should be supported by a strong guarantee mechanism .Therefore,we suggest applying distinctive strategies to regional industrialization,establishing a powerful dynamic mechanism for endogenous driving forces,constructing a controlling mechanism for operative norms,and providing a distinctive evaluation mechanism for performance .
