Abstract

Against the backdrop of accelerating industrialization and urbanization, China faces challenges including diminishing arable land, soil degradation, and ecological imbalances, which have intensified tensions in human-land relationships. Based on the Pressure-State-Response (PSR) framework, this study constructs an indicator system encompassing four dimensions: resource utilization, land health, sustainable development, and human-land harmony. Hubei Province—one of China’s thirteen major grain-producing regions—was selected as the study area. Utilizing survey data from 479 respondents, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to validate the theoretical model and identify critical factors influencing human-land relationships. The findings reveal that resource utilization, land health, and sustainable development exert varying degrees of direct positive impacts on human-land harmony.
