Abstract The Yellow River Basin (YRB) is an important ecological barrier and an important economic zone in China. Under the new requirements of realizing ecological protection and high-quality development of the YRB, the coordinated development of basin economic development and ecological environment is an urgent research topic. Taking 36 cities along the Yellow River Basin as samples, this paper constructs an evaluation index system of economic development and ecological environment. The coupling coordination model and geographical weighted regression were adopted to analyze the coupling coordination relationship between economic development and ecological environment from 2008 to 2017, and the influencing factors were analyzed. The results showed that (1) the coupling coordination of urban economic development and ecological environment along the YRB showed significant regional heterogeneity, forming a low-value sag of the Loess Plateau; (2) the regional hot spots in the downstream of the YRB continuously extended inland, while these in the midstream converged; (3) the coupling coordination degree between economic development and ecological environment is affected by factors such as population size, openness, and advanced industrial structure, and the intensity varies significantly among regions.

At present, China puts forward a major national strategy for economic development and ecological protection coexisting in harmony of the YRB, stressing the idea of “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets,” persisting in green development, ecological priority, and promoting high-quality development of the whole basin. In 2008, the GDP of the YRB was about 9 trillion CNY, accounting for 27.02% of the nation. By contrast, the GDP in 2018 was about 23.9 trillion CNY, accounting for 26.5% of the nation, which has achieved rapid progress. Among them, cities include Qingda
