Literature Review on the Construction of Economic and Social Development Indicator System of Shaanxi Province in the 15th Five-Year Plan Period

Abstract

The 15th Five-Year Plan period is a crucial stage for Shaanxi Province to advance Chinese-style modernization, build itself into a demonstration province in western China, and pursue high-quality development. Focusing on the construction of an economic and social development indicator system for Shaanxi during this period, this paper reviews the research background, theoretical basis, and relevant literature both at home and abroad. Shaanxi has made remarkable achievements in economic transformation, livelihood security, ecological protection, and opening-up during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, laying a solid foundation for future development. The new development philosophy, high-quality development theory, and regional economic theories provide support for indicator design. International indicator systems have shifted toward people-centeredness and sustainable development, while a six-dimensional evaluation framework (innovation, coordination, green development, opening-up, sharing, and security) has been formed in China. Given the insufficient integration of Shaanxi’s characteristics in existing research, this paper proposes that indicator design should be based on local conditions, highlight distinctive indicators such as regional coordination, Qinchuangyuan, and ecological protection, so as to provide references for high-quality development of Shaanxi.
