Abstract：To analyze the coupling coordination development level between low-carbon logistics and regional economy in Shandong Province,a multidimensional evaluation index system for low-carbon logistics and regional economy is constructed.The entropy weight method and a coupling coordination degree model are employed to assess the comprehensive development levels of low-carbon logistics and regional economy and their coupling coordination degree in Shandong Province from 2014 to 2023,identifying key factors influencing their coordinated development.Results indicate that the comprehensive development levels of both low-carbon logistics and regional economy in Shandong Province continuously increase from 2014 to 2023,with the low-carbon logistics composite score rising from 0.066 3 to 0.912 6 and the regional economy composite score growing from 0.032 1 to 0.994 6.The coupling coordination degree increases from 0.215 to 0.976,transitioning from moderate imbalance to primary coordination and further to high-quality coordination.The order degree of regional economy and low-carbon logistics shows a significant positive correlation,reflecting a highly synergistic interaction mechanism with sustained positive coordination trends.The main constraints for coordinated development are ecological level and industrial structure.Shandong Province can achieve low-carbon transformation of logistics and high-quality development of the regional economy by optimizing transport networks,promoting energy structure transition,advancing green logistics technologies,and developing low-carbon agriculture.
