中文摘要：

高等教育与区域经济的协调关系是目前国内学术界的重要研究方向之一。采用因子评价模型对中部地区长江沿线城市群高等教育和区域经济两大系统进行发展差异评价,采用协调度函数和系统聚类分析进行了协调区划分研究。结果表明：中部地区长江沿线城市群高等教育与区域经济在城市群层面和城市圈内部都具有显著差异,部分区域有两极分化趋势;按照高等教育与区域经济发展的匹配程度,在空间上划分为强协调（0.8～1.0）、较协调（0.6～0.8）、弱协调（0.5～0.6）、较不协调（0.2～0.5）和极不协调区（0～0.2）,根据协调组合情况划分了5种协调组合类型,并提出发展建议。

英文摘要：

The coordination between higher education and regional economy is one of the important research fields in the domestic academic circles. In this paper, the factor evaluation model is used to evaluate the development difference between the higher education and regional economy Regional economic in the urban agglomeration along the Yangtze River in the central region; then, the coordination zones are divided by the coordination function and system cluster analysis. Research shows： In the urban agglomeration along the Yangtze River in the central region, there is a significant difference between higher education and regional economy, both within the urban agglomeration and within the urban circle and some regions show polarization trends; According to the matching degree of higher education and economic development, the space is divided into strong coordination area（0.8～1.0）, coordination area（0.6～0.8）, weak coordination area（0.5～0.6）, less coordination area（0.2～0.5） and incongruous district（0～0.2）. Furthermore, through the analysis of the coordination combination, we divided five types of coordination combinations.
