- Abstract
With rapid urbanization and industrialization, Hangzhou Bay faces significant pressure in water environment governance. This study, based on panel data from 2011 to 2021 in Zhejiang's Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Shaoxing, and Ningbo, employs the Super-Efficiency DEA model to assess water environment governance performance. The Tobit model analyzes external environmental factors. Findings reveal fluctuating water governance efficiency during the study period, with inefficiencies from 2012 to 2019, followed by significant improvement from 2019 to 2021. Key factors impacting governance include urban water environment performance in Hangzhou, urban residents' disposable income, population density, and secondary industry GDP development. A higher urban income enhances environmental awareness and governance performance, while population density and industrial GDP intensify resource use, energy consumption, and wastewater discharge, worsening governance pressures and performance. This research offers insights for enhancing water environment governance in Hangzhou Bay, aiding in the formulation of protection plans and management policies. Additionally, it provides valuable experiences for watershed governance globally.
