Abstract：To discuss the coordination development of traffic carrying capacity(TCC) and environment carrying capacity(ECC),a coupling harmonious degree model and an index system are established.Applying coupling coordination model to 2010-2014 panel data of ten typical cities from five National Urban Agglomeration,this paper analyzes the coordination development of the traffic carrying capacity and environment carrying capacity on the prospect of space-time dimensions.It is found that the synthetical values of each urban agglomeration differs greatly because of regional differences,forming a hierarchy structure ranging rise and fall from 2010 to 2014.The level of TCC of Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River (MRYR)and Cheng-Yu Town Cluster (CYTC) is obviously higher than the other three,while the Bohai Ring megalopolis owned the lowest values.The level of ECC of Pearl River delta is the highest,and the second is MRYR,lastly the CYTC and Yangtze River delta.The coupling degrees of each urban agglomeration between traffic carrying capacity and environmental carrying capacity appear high yet the coordination degrees appear low,unfortunately,the coordination degrees of all five urban agglomerations are at low coordination coupling stage,tending to be undergoing serious inharmonious.
