Abstract: How to deal with the relationship between land intensive use and ecological environment, and realize the coordinated development of economic, social and ecological benefits of land use is an important issue in the construction of new urbanization. This paper used the panel data of 30 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China from 2005 to 2016 to measure the land intensive utilization index and ecological efficiency through the global principal component analysis method and the superSBM model, in an attempt to reveal the coordinated development of land intensive use and ecological efficiency.The results showed that: (1) the level of land intensive use increased gradually, and the growth rate was shown as the east > middle > west > northeast region; (2) the ecological efficiency increased year by year, and the growth rate was shown as the east > middle > west > northeast region; (3)In 2016,23% of the provinces reached the coordinated development category, 14% of the provinces were close to the disorder category, and 63% were in the disorder decline category. Shanghai and Ningxia lagged behind in ecological efficiency, and other provinces lagged behind in intensive use of land. In addition, the coupling coordination degree had obvious spatial positive correlation, but the degree of agglomeration gradually weakened, and the spatial differentiation became more and more obvious.
