QUALITY EVALUATION OF RURAL HUMAN SETTLEMENTS AND ITS SPATIO-TEMPORAL DISTRIBUTION CHARACTERISTICS AT COUNTY LEVEL IN GUANGXI PROVINCE
Based on the five subsystems of rural human settlements,this paper evaluates the quality of rural human settlements and analyzes its spatiotemporal distribution characteristics,so as to draw up measures and suggestions to effectively improve the quality of rural human settlements environment in Guangxi.In this paper,an index system of evaluating rural human settlements quality was constructed,and the improved entropy weight method and ArcGIS spatial analysis method were comprehensively used to measure the quality of rural human settlement environment in Guangxi,and its spatiotemporal differentiation characteristics were explored.The results were showed as follows.(1)From 2006 to 2020,the overall quality of the rural human settlements in Guangxi improved significantly,and the spatial evolution and development characteristics from"scattered"to"high in the northeast and low in the southwest";However,in the east-west direction,it showed the characteristics of alternating evolution and development from the east and west being equal,to the west being higher than the east,and then to the east gradually higher than the west.In the north-south direction,it showed from"high in the south and low in the north"to"high in the north and low in the south".(2)From 2006 to 2020,the overall quality of the natural system of rural human settlement environment in Guangxi developed steadily,and showing the spatial evolution characteristics of"high in the northeast and west,low in the southeast".The overall quality of human systems improved significantly,and showing the spatial evolution characteristics of"high in the south and low in the north"to"scattered".The overall quality of the social system improved dramatically,and showing the spatial evolution characteristics of"decreasing in the west,increasing in the east,and widening the gap between the east and the west".The overall quality of the living system had been greatly improved,and showing the spatial evolution characteristics of"scattered"to"relatively balanced".The overall quality of the support system had been improved higher,and showing the spatial evolution characteristics of"relatively balanced"to"scattered".In summary,the evolution and development of rural human settlement environment quality are obvious,and differentiated and targeted measures to improve the quality of rural human settlement environment should be implemented to effectively promote the high-quality development of rural areas.
