Coupling coordination development of rural living environment and agricultural modernization—An analysis based on the"One Health"theory
Using the panel data from 31 provinces in China(excluding Hong Kong,Macau and Taiwan)between 2017 and 2021,this study examines and defines the connotation of rural living environments through the lens of the"One Health"theory,encompassing the three dimensions of environmental health,human health and animal health.An innovative analytical framework and quality evaluation system for rural living environments are developed.Employing the entropy-weighted TOPSIS model and a coupling coordination model,the study measures the degree of coupling coordination between rural living environments and agricultural modernization.A three-dimensional kernel density plot is utilized to analyze its spatio-temporal evolution trend.The findings reveal an overall upward trend in the development of both rural living environments and agricultural modernization,but with significant regional differences.While the coupling coordination degree between rural living environments and agricultural modernization has improved,regions with only marginal coordination still constitute a considerable proportion.Based on these findings,the study proposes strategies to achieve balanced regional development,promote the implementation of"One Health"initiatives,enhance farmers'willingness and capacity to participate,and establish multi-actor coordination mechanisms.These recommendations aim to facilitate the construction of livable and workable rural areas,ultimately advancing comprehensive rural revitalization.
