Analysis of rural resilience measurement and its influencing factors based on county scale:A case study of Hunan Province
This paper constructs a rural resilience measurement index system from three dimen-sions:resistance and absorptive capacity,recovery and adaptive capacity,innovation and trans-formation capacity.Taking 101 counties(cities,districts)in Hunan Province as the research units and 2012-2020 as the research period,this paper uses TOPSIS and grey correlation analysis to measure the level of rural resilience in Hunan Province and analyze its influencing factors.Results show that:① From 2012 to 2020,rural resilience in Hunan Province has steadily im-proved,but the overall resilience level is still not high.Resistance and absorptive capacity,re-covery and adaptability have improved significantly,and innovation and transformation capabili-ties have changed little and have been at a low level,which has become a weakness of rural resil-ience in Hunan Province;② In terms of spatial pattern,the spatial distribution of rural resilience in Hunan Province is clearly differentiated.The resilience level is more consistent with the eco-nomic and social development level of the city where it is located.The Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration has a high level of resilience,followed by the Dongting Lake area and southern Hunan,and the lowest pattern in the Xiangxi area;③ From the perspective of influ-encing factors,the level of economic development and social structure have a greater impact on rural resilience.In view of the differences in resilience levels between regions in Hunan Prov-ince,measures should be taken in accordance with local conditions,grasp the key factors affect-ing rural resilience according to different regional characteristics,and take targeted measures to improve the overall level of rural resilience.
