Abstract:

As a national strategic emerging industry, the construction of the policy system for low-altitude economy is of great
significance for the transformation of old and new driving force, optimization of airspace resources, and modernization of governance capabilities. Based on a systematic review of 74 national and regional low-altitude economic
policy documents, a three-dimensional analysis framework of “policy tools-industrial ecology-participating entities” was constructed. The content analysis method was used to analyze 1 806 reference points and explore the synergistic relationships and cross effects between various dimensions in depth. Research has found that the overall
low-altitude economic policy tools in China exhibit a structural preference of “supply led, environment support,
and low demand”. The ecological attention to the four major industries in the low-altitude sector is relatively balanced, but the coordination between policy tools and industrial ecology needs to be strengthened. There are some
adaptation differences between policy tool configuration and subject capabilities, and multi-subject collaborative
governance presents industrial heterogeneity. The current policy system still faces many challenges in promoting
low-altitude economy to achieve economic benefits, including incomplete market-oriented mechanisms and unclear profit models. The research suggests implementing systematic optimization of policies and management from
six aspects, including improving the policy system, optimizing the tool structure, strengthening industrial collaboration, building a diversified governance mechanism, improving policy implementation guarantees, and narrowing regional industrial gaps, in order to promote the transformation of low-altitude economy from a “lively start” to a “substantial profit”stage and provide theoretical support and policy reference for high-quality development of low-altitude economy.
