Study on the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics and driving mechanisms of rural living environment quality in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration
In the context of China' s deepening rural revitalization strategy,significant changes have occurred in the rural living environment of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration.Effectively identifying its spatiotemporal evolution characteristics and driving mechanisms are important for tailoring remediation strategies according to local conditions.This study focused on the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration rural areas and constructed a comprehensive evaluation index system for rural living environment quality based on the"Three Spatial Dimensions"system theory.Spatial analysis tools such as ArcGIS and geographic detector were utilized to characterize the spatiotemporal evolution features of rural living environment quality in 13 cities of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration from 2011 to 2020 and investigate the evolution-driving mechanisms.The quality of rural living environment exhibited distinctive distribution characteristics in terms of social production space,natural ecological space,and resident living space quality,with a"south-high,north-low""dispersed"and"staggered"pattern,respectively.Overall,the comprehensive quality of rural living environment showed a declining trend,with quality scores decreasing from 1.248 in 2011 to 0.947 in 2018,further rising to 1.164 in 2020.Spatial disparities became more pronounced,forming a distribution pattern of"south-high,north-low,and multi-core development".This pattern includes core areas with high quality around Beijing,Tianjin,and Shijiazhuang,medium-quality areas centered around Hengshui,Langfang,Cangzhou,and Tangshan,and weaker areas primarily in Qinhuangdao,Chengde,and Zhangjiakou.The spatiotemporal evolution of rural living environment quality is mainly influenced by the collaborative impact of the production space system and the living space system.Rural industrial structure,industrial scale,and rural income levels are the primary factors affecting the spatiotemporal evolution of rural living environment.Enhancing the quality of rural living environment in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration should focus on policy guidance,industrial development,and the synergy of rural culture and livelihoods.Tailored strategies for improving rural living environment quality should be developed based on local conditions.
