Transformation process of suburban rural areas with superior ecological endowments and their revitalization paths:A case study of Yangjiamen Village in Dengfeng City,Henan Province
Suburban villages with superior ecological endowments can often realize rural development by virtue of landscape resources and spillover effect of big cities.But due to the rapid urbanization and urban"siphon effect",suburban villages often experience hollow problems such as labor emigration and industrial decay.Taking Yangjiamen,a traditional village in the Songshan Scenic Area,as a case study site,and based on the actor network theory,this study analyzed the process and mechanism of rural transformation by means of semi-structured interviews and participatory observation,and examined how endogenous impetus promoted rural revitalization.The results show that the case study village went through three stages of development:rural resources concentrated in the hands of rural sages,diversified industrial development feeding back to rural residents,and government-led enterprise-resident participation in diversified development,and experienced the change of rural sage→government-led→diversified governance of social networks.The dynamic mechanism changed from endogenous forces to endogenous development forces combined with external forces.This process has promoted the transformation and development of rural population,land,industry,and society,and realized the revitalization of talents,industries,organizations,culture,and ecology.This study provides some theoretical reference and practical guidance for rural revitalization in suburban hollow villages with superior ecological resource endowments.
