An Evaluation and Correlation Analysis of Regional Development Under the Background of Chinese-Style Modernization.

Regional development represents a pivotal component in advancing the Chinese path to modernization. The pace of modernization is intrinsically linked to the effectiveness of regional development strategies. In this context, the innovative evaluation of regional development assumes critical importance. Understanding the status and dynamics of regional development offers valuable insights into the progress of Chinese-style modernization. This study, grounded in a scientific interpretation of the concept and distinctive characteristics of Chinese-style modernization, proposes an enhanced regional development evaluation indicator system within this conceptual framework. By employing dynamic comprehensive evaluation and gravitational models, this study examines the regional modernization process in China from 2012 to 2021, exploring development patterns and inter-regional relationships. The findings reveal that regional modernization has evolved into four distinct types of agglomerated areas, with a strong correlation observed between regional development patterns and geographic location. Based on these findings, targeted recommendations for optimizing regional development are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
