Impact of coupling and coordination of new urbanization and agricultural modernization on the urban-rural income gap in the central Guizhou urban agglomeration
From the perspective of coordinated development of new urbanization and agricultural modernization(NU-AM),this study explored the relationship between the level of coordinated development of NU-AM and the urban-rural income gap,which is of great significance for balancing urban and rural development and promoting high-quality regional development.Taking the central Guizhou urban agglomeration as a case study region,this study applied the entropy-TOPSIS method,coupling and coordination degree model,and exploratory spatial analysis method to analyze the spatial and temporal patterns of the coordinated development level of NU-AM and the urban-rural income gap from 2010 to 2020,revealed the spatial and temporal correlation between the two,and compared and analyzed other factors that affected the urban-rural income gap.The results show that:1)The level of coordinated development of NU-AM in the central Guizhou urban agglomeration has improved significantly,and the main coordination type changed from low coordination to moderate coordination.During this period,the urban-rural income gap showed a trend of narrowing,and the differentiation among counties tended to converge,but the differences were still obvious.2)The low-value areas of the coordinated development level of NU-AM in the central Guizhou urban agglomeration were mainly located in Bijie,and the high-value areas were concentrated Guiyang;both the coordinated development of NU-AM and the urban-rural income gap showed significant positive spatial correlation,and there was a clear spatial overlap between the low-and high-value areas of the urban-rural income gap and the coordination level of NU-AM.3)The level of coordinated development of NU-AM in the central Guizhou urban agglomeration had a significant impact on the urban-rural income gap and showed a strengthening trend;in addition,the levels of human capital,road infrastructure density,and education were also core driving factors that affected the urban-rural income gap.The combined effect of multiple factors has formed the spatial pattern of the urban-rural income gap in the central Guizhou urban agglomeration.
