Evaluating the effectiveness of ecological civilization policies is the basis from which policymakers can optimize policies. From the perspective of the overall effectiveness of regional policies, and taking Jiangsu Province as an example, this study constructed a quantitative evaluation model of eco-civilization policy text and an eco-civilization evaluation index system. Using these tools, this paper evaluates the effectiveness of 53 ecological civilization policies issued by Jiangsu Province during 2004-2019 to promote the construction of ecological civilization in the four fields of resource utilization, environmental protection, economic development, and social life. There are three key findings. (1) During the period of 2004-2019, the effectiveness of the textual content of ecological civilization policies in Jiangsu Province generally showed a fluctuating upward trend. (2) The construction effectiveness indexes of the four fields of eco-civilization all showed a growth trend, but the construction effect varied greatly. The index of economic development had grown rapidly, while environmental protection had grown slowly. (3) Ecological civilization policies in Jiangsu Province were effective in promoting the construction of ecological civilization. However, the effects of different policy dimensions on ecological civilization development in the four fields were significantly different. Finally, based on these results, powerful recommendations are provided for the optimization of eco-civilization policies in Jiangsu Province. Moreover, Jiangsu is the first province in China to launch a provincial-level ecological civilization construction plan. Its policy optimization to promote ecological civilization construction can also provide an example and realistic basis for reference for the construction of eco-civilization in other provinces in China.
评估生态文明政策的有效性是政策制定者优化政策的基础。本研究从区域政策的整体有效性出发，以江苏省为例，构建了生态文明政策文本的定量评价模型和生态文明评价指标体系。利用这些工具，本文对江苏省 2004-2019 年发布的 53 项生态文明政策进行了有效性评估，以促进资源利用、环境保护、经济发展和社会生活四个领域的生态文明建设。有三个关键发现。（1）2004-2019 年期间，江苏省生态文明政策文本内容的有效性普遍呈波动上升趋势。（2）生态文明建设的四个领域的建设效果指标均呈增长趋势，但建设效果差异较大。经济发展指数增长迅速，而环境保护指数增长缓慢。（3）江苏省生态文明政策在促进生态文明建设方面是有效的。然而，不同政策维度对四个领域的生态文明发展的影响存在显著差异。最后，基于这些结果，为江苏省生态文明政策的优化提供了有力的建议。此外，江苏是中国第一个出台省级生态文明建设规划的省份。其政策优化对促进生态文明建设也可以为中国其他省份的生态文明建设提供借鉴和现实依据。
