The Chinese government has provided various forms of assistance to the Tibet Autonomous Region and has substantially improved their facilities, which has had a positive influence on the development of tourism in Tibet. The present study investigated how assistance to Tibet (AT) coordinates with tourism development (TD) by exploring the patterns and influencing factors of AT and TD using statistical data from 74 prefectural units from 1991 to 2015. The findings led to several conclusions: (1) AT displayed strong and constant coupling interactions with TD, and the coupling coordination degree increased from moderately unbalanced development (MUD) to barely balanced development (BBD). However, the coupling coordination degree remains low (MUD) in most prefectural units; (2) in 2015, the degree of coupling coordination displayed a core-periphery spatial pattern (i.e., low in center and high in the periphery), which highly coincides with the patterns of AT (x) and TD (y), and should thus be improved further; and (3) both AT factors and TD factors have significant effects on the spatial differentiation of coupling coordination degree but not on the coupling degree. This study expands research on coupling coordination and AT and provides scientific guidance for further coordinating AT and TD.

In the context of rapid urbanization and demographic transition, the implications of population shrinkage for urban sustainable development have attracted increasing scholarly attention. Nevertheless, empirical evidence on the relationship between population change and urban ecological resilience remains limited. Drawing on the Pressure–State–Response (PSR) framework, this study constructs a comprehensive indicator system to assess urban ecological resilience in 110 cities along the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YEB) over the period of 2012–2021. Furthermore, a panel threshold regression model is employed to examine the nonlinear effects of population shrinkage on urban ecological resilience. The findings indicate that urban ecological resilience exhibits an overall upward trend in YEB, characterized by pronounced spatial disparities. Eastern cities have a higher level of resilience than cities in the western region in YEB. The number of cities with shrinking populations is gradually increasing, and these shrinking cities are mainly small and medium-sized cities. The empirical results show that the impact of population shrinkage on urban ecological resilience is distinctly nonlinear, and regional economic development plays a moderating role in this nonlinear relationship. At lower levels of economic development, population shrinkage does not significantly moderate urban ecological resilience. As the economy reaches a moderate stage, population shrinkage exerts a stronger modulatory effect on ecological resilience. When economic development advances to a higher level, however, population shrinkage tends to inhibit ecological resilience. Overall, this study provides a scientific basis for the population–ecological policies tailored to local conditions and offers valuable insights to promote urban sustainable development under conditions of population shrinkage.

金融化已跃升为促进21世纪区域发展且重塑全球经济地理格局的关键力量。立足人文地理学视域，论文梳理了金融化的空间转向及理论演进、空间生产实践、政府角色与央地实践、全球非均衡性与多元路径等方面的主要内容。主要结论如下：① 通过吸纳地理学的空间视角，金融化从抽象经济学术语转化为具备可操作性的空间分析工具，实现了从描述金融活动区位分布转向揭示区域治理模式与空间过程机制，深化了对金融与区域发展交互关系的理论认知，推动金融地理学从经济地理学边缘位置迈向人文地理学研究范畴；② 针对住房、土地、基础设施等建成环境物质载体，政府采用结构化金融工具与资产价值重构策略，将建成环境转化为可流动与可定价的金融资产，推动建成环境的价值逻辑从使用价值导向转变为交换价值主导，塑造出分异与同质化并存的空间生产实践，加剧区域发展的非均衡性，并累积区域系统性风险；③ 金融化进程中，政府历经从规制型、推动型到利益共生型的角色演变，形成“政府—金融共生体”治理结构，重塑了中央政府与地方政府间关系及其治理实践，从全球视角可归纳为政府与市场关系结构性差异衍生的4种空间治理类型；④ 源于不同地区的发展阶段、政治经济制度和空间治理逻辑以及在全球金融体系中的空间区位锁定与地理选择机制，金融化的全球地理格局存在空间非均衡性。迄今为止，金融化研究已积累丰富成果，但现有成果仍面临以下不足：概念泛化；依赖质性案例；案例选择以全球北方、经济发达地区及国家层面为主；缺乏跨区域、跨尺度比较研究；未充分探讨与社会—空间正义的交互机制；对区域治理模式转型的认识尚显薄弱。面向未来，金融化研究迫切需要在多个方向实现突破，方能构建更具批判性、包容性和契合现实复杂性的金融化概念体系，为理解与引导金融化的地理实践提供坚实理论支撑。
