ABSTRACT
This paper comprehensively used three methods to explore the global and local impact mechanism
of socioeconomic on ecosystem services value in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, which included principal
component analysis (PAC), ordinary least square (OLS) and geographic weighted regression (GWR).
The results suggested that, the primary industry related factors were the main socioeconomic factors,
while factors such as the second industry, the third industry, the fiscal revenue and so on, had little
effect on it. Socioeconomic factors can affect or change the value of ecosystem services to a certain
extent. The comprehensive factor of primary industry had a negative effect, and the negative effect
of the total population factor was weaker than the comprehensive factor, meanwhile, the effect of the
simplification factor of the primary industry was positive or negative. The local model of a PCA-GWR
can better solve the spatial non-stationarity of the dependent and the independent variables, and the
local model was better than the global model of OLS and PCA-OLS. A standard GWR model can be
further improved to reflect the local differences of the impact mechanism in more detail.
