Measurement of Development Level of Urban and Rural Sports Integration from the Perspective of Rural Revitalization
The integrated development of urban and rural sports is the key to solve the imbalance of urban and rural sports development,the insufficient development of rural sports,and is also an important driving force to promote the equalization of public sports services and build a higher level of national public fitness service system.By using methods of literature review and expert interview,this study constructs an evaluation index system for the integrated development of urban and rural sports.The entropy method and coupled coordination degree model are utilized to measure and analyze the level of urban and rural sports integration in China from 2012 to 2021.The findings indicate that:(1)Both urban and rural sports exhibit a consistent upward trend in their comprehensive development levels over the years.However,rural sports demonstrate a significantly faster growth rate compared to urban sports,yet their overall development level remains notably lower with a substantial gap between them;(2)The degree of integration of urban and rural sports is deepening and showing a good development trend of increasing year by year.Suggestions:strengthen and standardize the statistical work of relevant data to provide support for the scientific evaluation of the integrated development of urban and rural sports.Improving the institutional mechanism for the integrated development of urban and rural sports and promoting the in-depth development of urban-rural sports integration.Increasing investment in rural sports and narrowing the development gap between urban and rural sports.
