Abstract: Using the coupling coordination analysis method, the coupling characteristics of the industrial system and environment system were analyzed in the Songhua River basin of Jilin Province. The results show that: 1) The coupling degree of industrial-environmental system of river basin is characterized by "M" curve, which has obvious economic traces. The coupling development degree is increasing, which shows that the stress of the industrial system to the environmental system is continuously reduced, and the supporting role of the environmental system is increasing. 2) The coupling degree of the industrial-environmental system has experienced the process of the obvious basin characteristic to nonobvious, and the coupling development degree of the regional gap is reduced, which indicates the industrial-environmental system coupling of the resource based city is good, and the level of the industrial ecology has been developed. 3) The main obstacle indicators to the coupling development of industrial-environmental system are the total added value of secondary-tertiary industries and per capita industrial waste emissions, however, the barriers role of per capita water resources and proportion of foreign contract investment on GDP are increasingly prominent. Industrial structure and industrial scale are the main obstacles to the coupling development of industrial-environmental system, and the industrial efficiency and environmental pollution are potential obstacles.
