Evolution Evaluation and Optimization of Industrial Structure in Ecologically-sensitive and Contiguous Severely Poverty-stricken Areas in West China--A case study of the Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Area

A case study of the Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas reveals that the region's industrial structure is characterized by unrealistic advancement, lack of diversification, and low specialization. This imbalance hinders poverty alleviation efforts in one of China's most ecologically sensitive and underdeveloped regions. The research employed diversification ratio and location quotient (LQ) to evaluate the evolution of industrial structure over time. Key findings suggest that sustainable development strategies should prioritize agriculture adapted to plateau characteristics, promote eco-friendly industrialization models, and leverage tourism as a driver for economic growth. These insights highlight the need for targeted structural optimization to balance ecological preservation with socioeconomic progress in such fragile landscapes.
