The Beijing\u2013Tianjin\u2013Hebei region of China is selected as the study area, covering the period from 2000 to 2020. An analytical framework is proposed, encompassing three approaches: coupling analysis based on county-level spatial units; mean center position analysis based on construction land grids; and regression fitting and residual analysis based on homogeneous grid units. The analysis results indicate: (1) the coupling between the employment population and construction land shows a significant advantage; (2) the coupling between the residential population and construction land has improved faster in recent years; (3) factors such as location, development level, and strategic opportunities have an important influence on the spatial and temporal changes in the coupling relationship. The study further discusses the trade-off relationship between different subsystems, key measures to enhance coupling degree, and the application pathways of this analytical framework at various stages of planning. Considering the limitations of industry sector differences, spatial unit precision, and construction land development intensity, this paper also outlines future research directions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems12080308","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,19]],"date-time":"2024-08-19T05:19:36Z","timestamp":1724044776000},"page":"308","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Coupling between Population and Construction Land Changes in the Beijing\u2013Tianjin\u2013Hebei (BTH) Region: Residential and Employment Perspectives"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-4887-4079","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chen","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Urban and Demographic Studies, Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, Shanghai 200020, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"628","DOI":"10.1016\/j.landusepol.2009.08.016","article-title":"Technological driving forces of LUCC: Conceptualization, quantification, and the example of urban power distribution networks","volume":"27","author":"Hasselmann","year":"2010","journal-title":"Land Use Policy"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"68","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ecoinf.2012.09.002","article-title":"SPA-LUCC: Developing land-use\/cover scenarios in mountain landscapes","volume":"12","author":"Schirpke","year":"2012","journal-title":"Ecol.
