abstract = {In the context of global regional economic integration and rapid urban expansion, the mutual promotion and coordinated development of regional economic linkages (REL) and landscape resource utilization have become the key to achieving the sustainability of the “human-landscape” system. Especially urban agglomeration areas. However, previous studies focus on the unidirectional impacts of REL on landscape, and the coordinated development pattern of the two remains unclear. Herein, this study combines socioeconomic statistics with parcel-scale landscape function data to propose a framework to reveal the spatial-temporal coupled coordination patterns of REL and landscape resource utilization. The Greater Bay Area of China was selected as a case study area. We found that (1) The coupling coordinated development of REL and landscape resource utilization has stage differences. Including “public services-vegetation conservation” pattern (2000–2010), and “industrial production-ecological agriculture” pattern (2010–2020). (2) Policy has a certain driving force for the evolution of coupling coordinated pattern of REL and landscape resource utilization. Urban smart growth strategy and ecological landscape optimization (particularly for shrub and grass) should be further emphasized and implemented. This study provides a new approach for understanding coordinated development state of human-landscape systems between cities.}
