[Objective] The present paper aimed to study the spatio-temporal coupling characteristics and influencing mechanism of high-quality agricultural development and cultivated land utilization efficiency in Sichuan province, so as to provide a scientific basis for promoting the coordinated development of the two systems and improving the high-quality agricultural development level of Sichuan province. [Method] Taking 21 cities and prefectures in Sichuan province as the research objects, the spatio-temporal coupling characteristics and influencing mechanisms of high-quality agricultural development and cultivated land use efficiency in Sichuan province from 2011 to 2021 were studied by entropy method, super-efficiency DEA model, kernel density estimation, coupling coordination model and geographic detector. [Result] (i) The high-quality agricultural development level and cultivated land utilization efficiency in Sichuan province improved, and the overall spatial evolution of high-quality agricultural development level changed from unipolar to multipolar, forming a pattern of Chengdu Plain being the best, peripheral graded mosaic', the spatial distribution of cultivated land utilization efficiency and the high-quality agricultural development level had convergence, forming a pattern of high-efficiency large-area uplift area with Chengdu, Ya'an, Deyang and Meishan as the core, Panzhihua as the polar core, and the peripheral hierarchical collapse'. (ii) The coupling coordination between the high-quality development level of agriculture and the efficiency of arable land utilization in Sichuan province increased from 0. 526 to 0. 704, and the coordination effect gradually increased. The whole experienced three levels of changes of reluctant coordination, primary coordination, and intermediate coordination'. From the perspective of time changes, the province roughly experienced three periods of development, lag and improvement'. From the perspective of spatial changes, Chengdu took the lead in entering the stage of high-quality coordination, followed by Ya'an and Panzhihua. Mianyang, Meishan, Leshan and Neijiang entered a good coordination stage, while Ganzi Prefecture, Aba Prefecture and Liangshan Prefecture were still in a disorder stage. (iii) The driving force of agricultural scale increased year by year, becoming the most significant driving factor, resource consumption and agricultural economic coordination index driving force also improved, while the driving force of urbanization level and mechanization level weakened. [Conclusion] Promoting large-scale agricultural management and reducing resource consumption have a certain positive effect on promoting high-quality agricultural devlopment and coordinated development of farmland utilization efficiency. In addition, the province should reasonably promote urbanization development on the basis of stabilizing the scale of existing cultivated land and striving to achieve no reduction in the quantity of cultivated land and improvement in quality.

【Objective】The present paper aimed to explore the changes of eco-environmental quality brought by land use transformation and analyze the influencing factors of spatial differentiation of eco-environmental quality. It can provide scientific support for land management and regional planning in the social and ecological sustainable development of Sichuan province.【Method】Based on the remote sensing monitoring data of land use in Sichuan province in 2000, 2010 and 2020, starting from the dimension of land use function, the paper analyzed and studied the eco-environmental effects and influencing factors of land use transformation in Sichuan province from 2000 to 2020 by using land use transfer matrix, land use center of gravity migration, eco-environmental index, contribution rate of ecological quality and geographic detector.【Result】（i）The transformation of land function structure in Sichuan province from 2000 to 2020 was characterized by the transfer of agricultural production land to forest land and forage ecological land; Spatially, the transformation featured that the center of gravity of production and living land was constantly away from the geometric center, while the center of gravity of ecological land was continuously close to the geometric center.（ii）The eco-environmental quality index of Sichuan province in 2000, 2010 and 2020 was 0.4968, 0.4969 and 0.5009 respectively. The regional eco-environmental quality generally showed the distribution characteristics of ‘high in the West and low in the East’.（iii）From 2000 to 2010, the transfer of agricultural production land to forest and pasture ecological land was the main land transformation to promote the improvement of ecological environment; The transfer of forest land ecological land to pasture and other ecological land from 2000 to 2010 was the main land transformation leading to the deterioration of ecological environment. From 2010 to 2020, the production land of forest land would be transferred to agricultural production land, forage and other ecological land.（iv）The spatial differentiation of regional eco-environmental quality was affected by many factors such as nature, society and economy, among which elevation, topographic relief and population density were the main influencing factors.【Conclusion】The characteristics of land use transformation in Sichuan province are as follows: The center of gravity of production and living land is constantly deviated from the geometric center of gravity, and the imbalance of production and living space distribution is enhanced. The center of gravity of ecological land keeps approaching the geometric center of gravity, and the spatial distribution of ecological land tends to be balanced; The changing characteristics of ecological environment quality are as follows: The ecological environment quality index is constantly increasing, the area of high-quality and high-quality ecological environment areas is rising, and the overall regional ecological environment quality structure is constantly optimized; Explore the impact mechanism of spatial differentiation of eco-environmental effects, and draw the conclusion that regional eco-environmental quality differentiation is mainly affected by elevation, terrain undulation and population density.

[Objective] The present paper explored the spatial distribution pattern and driving factors of aquaculture in Sichuan province, which aimed to provide reference for optimizing the layout of aquaculture and then promoting the quality and product of this industry. [Method] Taking the country (municipal district) of Sichuan province as the basic spatial research unit, with the help of the province' s fishery statistical yearbook and local one, the spatial distribution pattern, influencing facotrs and spatial heterogeneity of domaint factors of aquaculture in Sichuan province were analyzed by using the spatial autocorrelation analysis method (Moran' s I), the geo-detercor and the geographically weighted regression (GWR) model respectively. [Result] The results showed that both aquaculture area and product were characterised by a significantby positive spatial correlation and the plain and hilly areas along the Minjiang and Tuojiang Rivers in eastern Sichuan (including Rong county, Weiyuan county, Zizhong county, Jingyan county, Renshou county, Yanjiang district, Jianyang city, etc.) were the province' s primary aquaculture cluster; the aquaculture area, average yield level, the number of freshwater fish fry and aquaculture labor force were main influencing factors of aquaculture product in Sichuan province ; In the positive regression coefficient effect of domain factors, aquaculture area decreased from the middle to the nonh and south sides, the average yield level decreased from the nonheast to the southwest and the number of freshwater fish fry decreased from the nonh to the south. And the aquaculture labor force transited from negative value to positive value from the southeast to the west, and gradually increased. [Conclusion] The research on the spatial pattern and influencing factors of aquaculture in Sichuan province would provide a scientific basis for the intensive and differentiated development of aquaculture in this province, and would be one of the effective means to optimize the layout of aquaculture in Sichuan province and then promote the sustainable development of the industry.
