Spatio-Temporal Evolution of Rural Revitalization Level and Its Obstacle Factors in Poverty-Alleviation Regions:A Case Study of the Luoxiao Mountains Region in Jiangxi Province,China
Evaluating the stage of rural revitalization in poverty-alleviation regions is a prerequisite for determination of a proper approach to a diverse and high-quality rural development.The rural revitalization evaluation index systems to date were mostly built on the national requirement of rural revitalization,without inclusion of five influencing factors in quantitative evaluation models,such as industry,talent,culture,ecology,and organization revitalization.In this study,the Luoxiao Mountains region,a well-known poverty-alleviation areas in Jiangxi province,China exemplified an admissible development approach for rural prosperity.An evaluation index system was established based on the foresaid five influencing factors on a county basis.Trend surface analysis was used to describe the spatio-temporal evolution of rural revitalization,and an obstacle degree model was introduced to determine the primary hindrances to progress.(1)During 2010-2020,rural revitalization level in the Luoxiao Mountains region improved as a whole,with low-level counties shrinking.Rural revitalization in each county had gradually developed from a pattern of unipolar and low-level to balanced and high-level,with observable growths in industrial,cultural,and ecological sectors,but poor performances of organization and talent inspiration.Nearly half of counties had not yet reach the high-level of rural revitalization,which needs more efforts.(2)The spatial evolution trend of rural revitalization level basically kept a trend of low in the north and high in the south in the east-west direction,and it would be converted from high in the east and low in the west to high in the west and low in the east,with overall differences shrinking.The revitalization process was mainly driven by industry,ecology,and culture sectors,aligning with some of regional features,officially designated as an ecological civilization demonstration region,a southern collective forest area,etc.(3)Over the past decade,the obstacle degrees from land productivity and total mechanical power per unit of cultivated land rose significantly,gradually being the main obstacle factor,which in 2020 had average values of 17.22％and 15.70％,respectively.To enhance land productivity and agricultural mechanization is expected to be the key for future rural revitalization.This study can be a valuable reference for better coordination of human-land relations in poverty-alleviation mountainous areas,realizing the effective articulation of consolidating the achievements of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization,as well as realizing the comprehensive revitalization and high-quality development of the countryside.
