Spatio-temporal evolutionary characteristics and type classification of marine economy resilience in China

In the current study, the spatio-temporal evolutionary characteristics of marine economy resilience in three coastal areas of China were analysed based on multi-dimensional perspectives. The entropy weight method (EWM) was adopted to assign weights to each resilience dimension to define the marine economy-associated resilience value. Additionally, the classification criteria of coastal provinces (cities) was determined according to their temporal distribution ranges. Next, the spatio-temporal evolutionary characteristics and types of marine economy resilience in China's three coastal regions were explored and determined. Collectively, this study provides a novel strategy for measuring multiple aspects of marine economy resilience with the capacity to determine the specific types of marine economy resilience for each coastal province (city). This strategy can be implemented by decision makers to formulate targeted policies and measures to facilitate improved development of the marine economy in China's coastal regions.
