Study on the Spatio-Temporal Characteristics and Driving Mechanism of Urban-Rural Integration in Zhejiang Province
County is an important carrier to break the dual-structure of urban-rural,carry out urban-rural integration and promote common prosperity.Four dimensions of economic industrialization,social harmony,spatial networking and ecological sustainability were selected to construct a urban-rural integration development index system,and the spatial-temporal pattern and evolution characteristics of the urban-rural integration level in 52 counties of Zhejiang Province from 2010 to 2021 were explored.The Spatial Durbin Model was used to explore the spatial spillover effect of the driving mechanism.The results show that:(1)The integration of urban and rural areas in Zhejiang Province is getting better in time,the spatial pattern is"high in the east and low in the west",and the urban-rural integration in southwest Zhejiang is rising rapidly.(2)In terms of regional differences,the absolute difference between counties decreases and there is a dynamic convergence characteristic,but the difference between counties is the main reason for the overall difference.(3)The urban-rural integration's core elements significantly promote the the county's development.The driving force decreases according to the economic elements,spatial network,ecological environment and social culture,and there is a negative spillover effect on the surrounding counties in the short term,and the role of spatial network and ecological environment will continue to increase.
