Abstract

In the paper, firstly, the population urbanization index and the comprehensive development index of higher education in China in the past years were obtained by the population ratio of different residential areas and PCA-AHP method respectively. Then, considering that in the traditional coupling degree model, when the value of the coupling degree is very close to 1, the value of the coupling coordination degree is almost determined by the comprehensive index of each system, and the coupling degree loses its utility. Based on this, the thesis amends the coupling degree model and improves the coupling coordination degree model using game theory ideas. Finally, using the improved model, the development relationship between urbanization and higher education in China from 2010 to 2020 is discussed. The results show that the coordination relationship between urbanization and higher education development in China has risen from the primary level to the intermediate level, and the overall trend is positive, but the coupling relationship between the two has shown a downward trend. Analyzing the reasons for the formation, some development suggestions are given from the perspectives of accelerating the development of population urbanization and strengthening higher education services.
