Abstract: The three major resource systems of water,energy and food are closely related to each other and have an important bond relationship,the coupling and coordinated development of the three is related to the security and sustainable development of the national resource strategy. In order to explore the level of water-energy-food（WEF）system coupling and coordinated development in high-energy-consuming areas,this paper designs a comprehensive evaluation system with 24 indicators in three layers. Combined with the entropy value method and the analytic hierarchy method to optimize the index weights,based on the coupling coordination model and spatial exploratory analysis,the variation trend and spatial distribution characteristics of the coupling coordination degree of the WEF system in Hebei Province are calculated. From the time dimension,the development characteristics of the system as a whole and subsystem are compared and analyzed. Spatial autocorrelation test of coupling coordination degree of 11 cities in Hebei Province is carried out from the spatial dimension,and the spatial agglomeration patterns are explored. The results show that the comprehensive evaluation index of the WEF system in Hebei Province is small in the range of 0.42～0.58,the growth is slow and the long-term development level is medium,the coupling degree value of the WEF system as a whole and two subsystems are close to 1,and the coupling between the subsystems is highly coupled. The coupling coordination degree of the system as a whole fluctuates horizontally in the range of 0.64～0.73,the WEF system is transitioning from the primary coordinated development stage to the intermediate coordinated development stage,the coupling and coordination level of the water and food system has entered the highly coordinated stage,and the level of coupling and coordinated development of the water energy system and the energy and food system is relatively backward. In terms of the spatial distribution of coupling coordination degree,the northeast region of Hebei Province is low and low agglomeration,the central region is low and high agglomeration or high agglomeration,and the coupling coordination degree of most other cities does not show significant spatial agglomeration characteristics,and its spatial distribution has randomness,indicating that in addition to geographical spatial distance,the coupling coordination degree of WEF system is also affected by the industrial structure characteristics of each city and its own resource advantages.
