Analysis of the Spatial and Temporal Evolution Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Carbon Emissions from the Construction Industry in Guangdong Province
Publication: ICCREM 2023
ABSTRACT
As a pillar industry of China’s national economy, the construction industry has become one of the important sectors for energy conservation and emissions reduction. This study aims to analyze the trends in carbon emissions in the construction industry of Guangdong Province and its influencing factors. The STIRPAT model and ridge regression in SPSS were employed to examine the impact of factors such as population and economy on carbon emissions. Additionally, using the Moran model based on the temporal and spatial development of Guangdong Province’s economy, the spatial effects of carbon emissions in different regions of Guangdong Province were analyzed. Finally, based on the actual situation of Guangdong Province, empirical research was conducted to propose recommendations for energy conservation and emissions reduction strategies. The research results indicate that the current carbon emissions in the construction industry of Guangdong Province remain high. The transformation of energy structure and the development of high-tech environmental protection technology are effective approaches for long-term adjustments in the construction industry of Guangdong Province.
