How to Survive:The Operational Mechanism of Endogenous Rural Industrial Sustainability
Rural industry is an essential industrial foundation for rural revitalization and urban-rural integration.This paper exam-ines the operational mechanisms of Y factory in Yin County,Shandong Province,to analyze the operating mechanisms of endoge-nous rural industry survival and development from the perspective of the new endogenous development theory.The study finds that,from the perspective of generation and transformation drivers,localized operations based on agricultural endowments activates the endogenous development dynamics of rural industries.However,the impact of new economic forces leads to a decline in the endoge-nous development capacity of rural industries.Regarding the operational mechanisms,rural industries,interacting with extra-local factors,adopt meticulous operational strategies and risk-averse survival principles to align survival practices with their internal re-sources.At the same time,they achieve a new endogenous development transition by establishing new development orientations and linking external forces.This ultimately forms a development model that is both locally rooted and interactive with the external world.The research indicates that rural industry is an industrial development model compatible with local conditions.Under the context of Chinese modernization,the sustainable operation of rural industry in a low-level development practices can become an effective channel for increasing farmers'income and promoting urban-rural integration.
