Abstract

This paper systematically examines the core of new quality productive forces underpinning the sustainable development of the low-altitude economy industry. Based on the Triple Bottom Line theory, it analyzes the interrelationships among various factors of new quality productive forces and reveals the underlying mechanism through which new quality productive forces drive sustainable development in this sector. By employing an integrated Fuzzy Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory—Interpretive Structural Modeling (Fuzzy-DEMATEL-ISM) approach, this study establishes a hierarchical structure for sustainable development in the low-altitude economy industry grounded in the logical framework of new quality productive forces. The findings indicate that: (1) the strategic origin layer represents the prerequisite and most critical task for the emergence of the low-altitude economy industry; (2) the technological breakthrough layer constitutes the core competitive strength enabling its development; (3) the resource guarantee layer provides essential resource support for operational sustainability; (4) the institutional synergy layer enhances industrial efficiency through coordinated governance; and (5) the value realization layer signifies the ultimate form of industrial evolution. These research outcomes offer significant forward-looking insights for advancing sustainable development in the low-altitude economy industry.
