Geographical Interpretation of the Changes in Rural Internal Spatial Structure against the Background of Rural Revitalization:A Case Study of Mashan Village in Zhuhai City,Guangdong Province
Using the geographical analysis framework of"horizontal-vertical perspective"proposed by A.Hert-ner and combined with W.Alonso's location rent theory,this paper defines the connotation of"horizontal-vertical perspective"in the analysis of rural internal spatial structure changes,and proposes a general analytical framework of"one horizontal and one vertical"changes in rural internal spatial structure.Taking Mashan Village in Doumen Dis-trict,Zhuhai City as research area,this paper analyzes the interrelationships among various types of land use in the village from a"horizontal"approach,and the suitability conditions for various types of land uses in the village from a"vertical"approach to verify the applicability of the detailed framework.The influential factors of the internal spatial structure of the village include two dimensions:top-down external regional dynamics,and internally driven dynamics based on local conditions.A matrix for analyzing the possibility of land use conversion is made in both the village ter-ritory and village residential area,which presents the possibility of land use conversion in this village during its urban-ization process.The major conclusions are as follows:Firstly,the analytical framework of"horizontal-vertical per-spective"is an indispensable perspective for analyzing rural internal spatial structure.The"horizontal"perspective can compensate for the shortcomings of using indicator system method to judge the applicability of rural land.The ex-ternal conditions constitute macro-level"horizontal perspective",and the internal spatial structure of the villages forms micro-level"horizontal perspective".Secondly,the"vertical perspective"can revise the hypothesis of"hom-ogeneous surface of the earth"in the competitive rent theory of J.H.von Thünen and W.Alonso,making the analy-sis factors of rural internal spatial structure closer to the real situation.
