The research is guided by index mechanism and aims to establish comprehensive evaluating system towards level of green urbanization and ecological environment of Poyang Lake Zone, therefore to evaluate the 9 representative zones about green urbanization and ecological environment, as well as calculation to coupling degree and coordination degree between green urbanization and ecological environment in all areas during 2008-2014. By adopting exploratory space and data analysis, the paper discusses space difference of coupling and coordination degree between green urbanization and ecological environment in the whole area. The result demonstrated that a layout of obvious partial space concentration about coupling and coordination is come into form, and space difference in regional coordination is remarkable. Keywords: Ecological and economic area of Poyang Lake: Green urbanization, ecological environment. 1. Introduction The comprehensiveness and continuity are emphasized in development of green urbanization, which is a long-term and balanced developing mode. Compared to traditional urbanization, green urbanization values more about allocation efficiency between population, industry and space resources. By solving problems such as high energy consumption, severe discharging, haze, over-exploration of water resource and environmental pollution due to fast urbanization, it is easy to see that the key to solve urban disease is to pay more attention to environmental protection during urbanization. In April 2015, the Central Committee of CPC and State Council published “Opinions on Accelerating Ecological Construction” and put forward that green urbanization and development should be accelerated to realize comprehensive and continuous development of China [1]. Good ecological environment demonstrates the level of green urbanization, and green urbanization grantees the continuous development of ecological environment, which makes the coupling development between the two elements more important than ever. Qiu Gaohui (2015) adopted entropy weight method and coupling coordination model to evaluate quality and regional difference of new urbanization at Henan and put forward relative suggestions. Started from ecological problems in fast urbanization [2], Li Hui (2015) put forward respective solutions to solve ecological issues to promote the coordinative development between new urbanization and ecological construction [3]. Yuan Dan and Ou Xiangjun (2015) established a comprehensive evaluating mechanism to analyze coordination between urbanization and ecological development in coastal areas in the view of space and time. Based on coupling analysis about developing quality and environmental carrying capacity of Chongqing during new urbanization [5], Zhang Yin and Yang Qingyuan (2016) found spatial variation regulation and various types in coupling rate [6]. Fang Chuanglin and Zhou Chenghu (2016) systematically analyzed non-linear coupling and characters existing in mutual effect between natural and human elements in megalopolis system and built up relative theory frame. Some other scholars have built up comprehensive evaluating index system towards green urbanization to analyze its development and put forward scientific suggestions in the view of ecological environment [7-10]. The research content shows that coordination between green urbanization and ecological environment has become a hot issue. As one of the strategic and experimental zones in green urbanization development of China, the coupling development in Poyang Lake Zone will provide strong force in accelerating its harmonious
