STUDY ON THE MULTIFUNCTIONAL EVALUATION AND REVITALIZATION PATH OF RURAL AREAS IN XIUSHAN COUNTY,CHONGQING CITY
The multifunctional sustainable development of rural areas is an important prerequisite for promoting urban-rural integration,supporting rural transformation,and achieving comprehensive and coordinated revitalization.Based on a micro-level,this study constructed an evaluation index system for the multifunctional development of rural areas and determined the weights of each index by using the entropy method,and conducted an in-depth research on the strength and spatial differentiation characteristics of the five major rural area functions in Xiushan county,Chongqing in 2020,including agricultural production function,non-agricultural industry development function(excluding tourism),leisure and recreational function,social security function,and ecological services function,then identified the development types of rural areas.The results showed that:(1)There were certain differences in the strength and spatial distribution of the five major rural area functions in Xiushan county.Overall,agricultural production function and social security function were relatively strong,weakening from northeast to southwest;non-agricultural industry development function was relatively weak,with the northeastern part being weaker and the southwestern part being stronger;leisure and recreational function was overall weak,with no distinct spatial differentiation pattern;ecological services function was relatively strong,with the northwest being stronger and the southeast being weaker.(2)The identified development types of rural areas in Xiushan county were one comprehensive development type,62 deficient development types,and 193 polarized development types,with no dominant or balanced development types observed.In the future,the guidance ideology should be to"focus on priorities,address weaknesses,and strengthen strengths,"and the auxiliary method should be"supporting the weak based on the strong,"seizing development priorities,clarifying the direction of rural development,and implementing differentiated revitalization strategies.(3)Although Xiushan county had lifted itself out of poverty,its overall rural development was still at a primary stage.Therefore,Xiushan county has an underdeveloped economy,and the development of various functions is unbalanced,especially the development of non-agricultural industries and leisure and recreational functions,which face heavy tasks and a long way to go.The structure of non-agricultural industries is low,and efforts are needed to revitalize tourism resources,promote rural transformation,rural development,and rural revitalization in the future.
