Progress and prospects in the study of coupling rural multifunctional evolution and land use transitions
In the context of rapid urbanization and industrialization,rural areas have experienced a series of imbalances in land use and territorial functions in land use and territorial functions,with their dynamic relationship becoming a focal point in rural geography research.This paper systematically reviews the progress in the study of rural territories function and land use transitions,attempting to clarify the research concepts,contents,and trends in their coupling relationship.Building on this,the paper identifies key aspects of coupling between rural multifunctional evolution and land use transitions.Research conclusions indicate that rural geography has made significant progress in the field of rural multifunctionality and land use transitions,and the interaction between the two has gained scholarly attention.However,current research on their coupling processes,mechanisms,and models remains exploratory.Issues include an incomplete portrayal of the coupling and feedback relationships,the need for expanded perspectives in analyzing coupling mechanisms,and a scarcity of case studies on land-use optimization in different rural areas under specific functional orientations.Future research should follow a path that includes constructing a coupling framework,depicting coupling processes,analyzing coupling mechanisms,and regulating coupling states.This approach will strengthen the integration of rural geography and land system science,which provides vital scientific support for the sustainable development of rural areas.
