摘要：Land, as an essential resource for social, economic and ecological activities, is regarded as a key factor in material production. Against the background of rapid social and economic transition, land-use carbon emissions have gradually drawn due attention. However, few studies have been conducted to explore the spatial relationship of land-use carbon emissions at the sub-regional level, especially within Sichuan Province, China. This study is aimed at unpacking the spatial network of land-use carbon emissions in Sichuan Province by employing the panel data from 2006 to 2021 and using the method of Social Network Analysis. The results indicate that the net land-use carbon emissions of various prefecture-level divisions in Sichuan generally showed an inverse and asymmetrical “V-shaped” trend. The network correlation was improved and the stability was enhanced, gradually developing into a multi-centric structure. In addition, the spatial relationship among different clusters in the network undergoes a transition from intra-regional to inter-regional spillover. Based on these findings, the carbon balance zoning policy was discussed to provide references for how to coordinate roles and positions in the network when optimizing land-use carbon emission management policies in sub-regional areas with rapid social and economic development.
