Sažetak
Resource-exhausted cities are confronted with multiple challenges, including a single industrial structure, ecological degradation, and constraints imposed by carbon emissions. Scientifically assessing their level of low-carbon transition development and identifying key constraining factors are of great significance for promoting high-quality development in such cities. This study focused on the first batch of resource-exhausted cities officially identified in China - Fuxin, Yichun, Liaoyuan, Baishan, Panjin, Shizuishan, Baiyin, Jiaozuo, Pingxiang, and Greater Khingan Mountains - as the research objects. An evaluation index system was constructed on the basis of the driving force-pressure-state-impact-response framework. The entropy method-analytic hierarchy process combined weighting method, together with the TOPSIS method, was also employed to measure and comparatively analyze the level of low-carbon transition development in the 10 cities. Results show that the low-carbon transition levels of the 10 cities exhibit a pronounced pattern of polarization: Jiaozuo and Panjin belong to the leading tier and have achieved remarkable transition outcomes, whereas the Greater Khingan Mountains lags far behind and is almost in a state of stagnation. In terms of indicator weights, the proportion of output value from non-resource-based industries, carbon emissions per unit of GDP, and R&D expenditure intensity are the top three key factors affecting the level of transition, indicating that industrial diversification and carbon intensity control are the core driving forces distinguishing successful transitions from unsuccessful ones. Some cities exhibit response failure and poor transmission among subsystems, and their ecological advantages have not been effectively converted into low-carbon development advantages. The conclusions provide a theoretical basis and policy reference for differentiated policymaking and the targeted promotion of low-carbon transition in resource-exhausted cities.
