Background

China's rapid urbanization process has brought great pressure to the ecological environment and brought many environmental and resource problems to urban residents. Therefore, a clear and profound understanding of the relationship between urbanization, environmental well-being and residents' emotional regulation is of great significance to urban sustainable development and provides a scientific basis for urban green development.

Method

Based on the theories of environmental psychology and environmental behavior, the urbanization index is constructed by entropy method, and the urbanization level is quantitatively evaluated from two aspects of society and economy. In addition, this paper creatively uses the coupling coordinated development model, takes the ecosystem service value as the measurement index of environmental well-being, and discusses the coordinated development relationship between urbanization and environmental well-being of urban residents in Chongqing from 1996 to 2015. Therefore, a good ecological environment is a necessary condition to improve the quality of life of residents. The research results of this paper provide a very useful reference for formulating a healthy and sustainable regional development strategy and building a good interactive relationship between environment and emotion regulation. The correlation coefficient between the r-score and the r-score was between 73.0 and 0.0; The R value between the score of each item of expression inhibition and the total score of expression inhibition is between 0.73-0.81, and the corrected r value is between 0.50-0.64. Based on the total scores of cognitive reappraisal and expression inhibition, 27% of the high and low end were used as the division criteria of high and low groups. The independent sample test of high and low groups was carried out. The results showed that the discrimination between cognitive reappraisal and expression inhibition was very high. Factor analysis based on all data shows that the commonality of 10 items of ERQ is between 0.39 and 0.67.

Results

From 1996 to 2015, the overall urbanization comprehensive index showed an upward trend, with an average annual growth of 1.2%; In addition, the urbanization development of the whole region has experienced three stages: low growth period, recession period and high growth period, with an average growth rate of 46%. From 1996 to 2015, Chongqing's environmental well-being showed a fluctuating upward trend, from 46.96 million in 1996 to 48.74 million in 2015, with an average annual growth rate of 0.19%. Environmental well-being showed an upward trend from 2001 to 2009, but showed a double U-shaped fluctuation from 2010 to 2015. From 1996 to 2015, the time evolution of the coupling coordinated scheduling of urbanization level and environmental well-being in Chongqing is a U-shaped curve, which can be further divided into two periods. The overall coupling coordination degree is less than 0.219, and fluctuates greatly from 1996 to 2000; It can be inferred that the type of coupling coordination is seriously unbalanced development. During the period of rapid growth from 2000 to 2015, the degree of coupling and coordination increased rapidly; In 2013, it broke through 0.5 for the first time, entered the basic coordination and coupling state, and then entered the operation and development stage.

Conclusion

Clarifying the current situation and dynamic evolution law of the coupling and coordination relationship between urbanization and urban residents' environmental well-being in Chongqing, formulating a scientific regional development strategy and improving the ecological environment is of great practical significance for the sustainable development of regional urban ecosystem and environmental quality and promoting the coordinated development of human and environment.
