Rural multifunctionality:A comprehensive literature review
In the context of new type urbanization and rural revitalization,multifunctional transformation provides an important path for rural sustainable development.Multifunctional rural development in turn unfolds a powerful entree into understanding sustainable rural transformation.Employing both quantitative and qualitative approaches,we documented the study hotpots in rural multifunctionality in this review.Foremost,we systematically examined the definition and change of multifunctionality,and collected and analyzed a total of 1385 publications from both the CNKI and WoS databases with the help of the CiteSpace software.This paper provides a panoramic synthesis of the primary research topics related to rural multifunctionality,summarizing current advancements in evaluation measures,evolutionary processes,driving factors,and interactions among various functions,and ultimately delineating prospective research directions for future studies.Overall,The results reveal that the conceptual connotation of rural multifunctionality has been deepening with the transition of rural development from"productivism"to"post-productivism".The research paradigm has also evolved to emphasize interdisciplinary perspectives and the integration of multi-methodological approaches.Future research should further strengthen the integration of scales in assessing rural multifunctionality,the incorporation of diverse evaluation methods,and promote the expansion of social functions assessment,while conducting comparative studies across various regions involving multi-stakeholders.In particular,by summarizing patterns of multifunctional development and transformation under different developmental paths,researchers can extract the transformation and evolution patterns of various types of rural multifunctionality,as well as substantiating pathways for optimizing rural transformation and revitalization under different dominant functions.
