Abstract: Abstract China’s rapid industrialization has brought about a series of severe resource and environment problems. The systematic analysis of industrial resource and environment pressures is of great theoretical and practical significance for promoting the green transformation of China’s industrial. Taking 285 prefecture level and above cities in China as the research objects, this paper constructs the evaluation index system of industrial resource and environmental pressures, uses ArcGIS spatial analysis method, variation coefficient and Taylor index to analyze the spatial differentiation characteristics of industrial resource and environmental pressures in China from 2006 to 2019 at national and regional scales. Based on spatial Dubin model, the main influencing factors of industrial resource and environmental pressures in China are analyzed. The results show that: ① The industrial resource pressure in China is increasing and shows the spatial change characteristics of gradually decreasing from coastal to inland areas. The degree of spatial agglomeration is increasing, and the hot spots of industrial resource pressure are concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta region, the scope of hot spots is expanding. ② The industrial environmental pressure in China shows a fluctuating downward trend, and the spatial differentiation characteristics are “high in the east and north, low in the west and south”. Areas with high industrial environmental pressure are mostly located at the junction of provincial administrative regions, the degree of spatial agglomeration is declining, and hot spots are transferred to the Bohai Rim and Yangtze River Delta regions.③ The factors with significant positive correlation with China's industrial resource pressure are total industrial assets, industrial added value and three industrial wastes average treatment rate, and the factors with significant negative correlation with China’s industrial resource pressure are the number of industrial enterprises, labor productivity and the proportion of the output value of foreign-invested industrial enterprises in the total industrial output value. ④ The factors with significant positive correlation with China’s industrial environmental pressure are the total industrial assets, and the output value of foreign-invested industrial enterprises in the total industrial output value, the factors with significant negative correlation with China’s industrial environmental pressure are the three industrial wastes average treatment rate, and labor productivity.
