Rural hollowing out in the Yellow River Basin and the development path of rural revitalization
"People"is the main agent of rural production and development.Understanding the regional types and driving mechanisms of rural hollowing in the Yellow River Basin from the perspective of population change is of great significance for promoting ecological protection and rural revitalization in the basin.Research showed that:1)There is a significant change in the types of hollowed out rural areas in the Yellow River Basin,with the decline type having the largest growth rate,increasing from 16%in 2000-2010 to 39%in 2010-2020;The weakening type had the largest decrease,from 29%to 12%.With regard to the changes of regional types in various watersheds,the decline type in the middle reaches increased by 43 percentage points,while the weakening type in the downstream decreased by 34 percentage points.2)The spatiotemporal differences in rural hollowing out regions are significant,and the spatial agglomeration characteristics are gradually emerging.The spatial distribution range of growth and weakening types is constantly shrinking,while the spatial distribution of decline types is expanding.The trend of aggregation of weakening and decline types is increasing towards the upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin.3)The spatial differentiation of rural hollowing in the Yellow River Basin is influenced by various factors at different stages,but urbanization and topography play a significant role.In the upstream area,urbanization has had a greater impact.However,the factor that have had a greater impact on the middle reaches have evolved from urbanization in the period 2000-2010 to agricultural modernization in the period 2010-2020.Both topography and economic factors have exerted a stronger influence on the downstream area.4)There are significant regional differences in the natural environment and culture and economy between the upper,middle,and lower reaches of the Yellow River Basin,as well as significant differences in the hollowing out of rural areas.It is necessary to combine local characteristics and innovate development paths for rural revitalization in different sections of the river basin,accelerate the formation of urban-rural integration and mutual promotion between industry and agriculture,and promote rural revitalization and development.
