Study on the Coupled and Coordinated Relationship between Integration of Three Rural Industries and Farmers'Well-being in Chongqing County Rural Areas——Based on the Perspective of Beautiful and Harmonious Countryside that is Desirable to Live and Work in
Building a beautiful and harmonious countryside that is desirable to live and work in is a crucial task in promoting comprehensive rural revitalization.This paper constructs an indicator system from the perspective of a livable,workable,and beautiful countryside to assess the integration of three rural indus-tries and farmers'well-being in county villages.By analysing the spatial pattern of the two and the cou-pling and coordination relationship,it explores the development path of county villages in Chongqing.The study's findings indicate that:① The development process of rural three-product integration in the county countryside of Chongqing Municipality is subject to the synergistic enhancement of farmers'well-being,and the coupling and coordination between the two is better,dominated by moderate and primary coordina-tion,and overall showing a trend of transformation from the transitional development stage to the coordi-nated development stage.② In terms of dimensions,the coupling and coordination relationship between three-product integration behavior of three dimensions of agricultural industry chain extension,rural busi-ness diversification and agricultural multifunctionality of rural with the dimensions of farmers'well-being is dominated by farmers'well-being in a rigid manner,while the coupling and coordination relationship be-tween the two dimensions of economic and social benefits of rural three-product integration effectiveness and the dimensions of farmers'well-being is dominated by the rigidity of rural three-product integration.The distribution of high-value and low-value areas of both is relatively consistent,with high-value areas mainly concentrated in the western part of Chongqing,and low-value areas mainly concentrated in the northeastern fringe of the northeastern Chongqing areas and the southeastern fringe of the southeastern part of Chongqing,and a significant spatial synergy is presented between the two.③ Based on the cou-pling relationship between rural three-industry integration and farmers'well-being,this paper categorizes county villages into three coupling types:lagging rural three-industry integration,synchronous develop-ment,and lagging farmers'well-being.Accordingly,the paper proposes three development pathways for county villages:fostering a livable countryside to boost rural industrial development;synergizing livability with the development of the rural three industries;and constructing a livable countryside to safeguard farmers'well-being.The aim is to promote the harmonious development of the integration of three rural industries and the farms'well-being,so that farmers can enjoy a happier life by engaging in agricultural and related production activities in the countryside.
