Protection and utilization of the traditional villages of China in the context of rural revitalization:Challenges and prospects
The protection and utilization of traditional villages is not only a major practical is-sue to realize China's rural revitalization and Chinese-style modernization,but also a hot topic in the integration and cross-research of geography,sociology,planning,economics and other disciplines.In order to systematically explore the theoretical cognition,practical problems,sys-tem mechanism,practical experience and effective path of the protection and utilization of tradi-tional villages in China,11 experts in the research field of traditional villages were invited to conduct interviews.The interview mainly focuses on the classification of Chinese traditional villages from three perspectives:policy change and typical model,macro mechanism and core theme,theoretical cognition and practical path,and focuses on specific practices such as indus-trial integration,landscape protection,vitality,value realization,subject drive,spatial gover-nance and locality,based on the theoretical understanding of the macro system and mechanism for the protection and utilization of Chinese traditional villages.Advanced theoretical and prac-tical issues such as industrial integration,landscape protection,organic renewal,vitality,value realization,subject drive,spatial governance and locality were discussed in depth.According to the main views of the experts,the protection and utilization of China's traditional villages in the new era should focus on:(1)The main problems of protection and utilization of Chinese tradi-tional villages facing the impact of rapid urbanization and modernization,the innovation of mechanism and system,and the realization path.In view of the conflict between modern civili-zation and agricultural civilization faced by traditional Chinese villages and the major strategic needs for national rural revitalization and Chinese-style modernization,the combination of"top-down"and"bottom-up"is adopted to build a diversified integration mechanism featuring multi-subject participation,organic integration of agriculture,culture and tourism,and overall coordi-nation.By exploring the endogenous growth factors of traditional villages and the historical in-heritance and cultural context of traditional villages,strengthening the leadership of rural grass-roots party building,giving play to the role of villagers as the main body,reshaping the public cultural space system of traditional villages and all-round digital twin modeling,etc.,we will create a living environment that is in line with modernization development and ecological civili-zation construction and jointly build a cultural map,to realize the transformation of traditional Chinese villages from"vegetable gardens"and"back gardens"to"spiritual homes".(2)Core themes and specific spatial practices of protection and utilization of traditional Chinese villages for rural revitalization and Chinese-style modernization.Focus on the core themes of traditional village classification,industrial integration,organic renewal,landscape protection,vitality,val-ue realization,subject drive,spatial governance and local reconstruction,and strengthen the classification and classification of traditional villages based on the coupling of key factors such as"livelihood,water,food,energy and land";focus on the significance,connotation and influ-ence mechanism of the time dimension,space dimension and attribute dimension of traditional village industrial transformation;focus on the three tasks of"protection and development coun-termeasures,measures to improve people's livelihood,and strategies to activate utilization"to promote the organic renewal of traditional settlements;emphasis should be placed on the gene protection and inner spiritual value mining of traditional human settlement cultural landscape,the"living"protection and utilization of traditional living space and the"activation"of tradi-tional cultural heritage;focus on the diversification of traditional village activities,"co-con-struction,co-governance and sharing"and the construction of beautiful villages;the importance of natural non-human elements and human beings as spatial order construction and place con-struction of traditional villages and their active practice are emphasized to promote the realiza-tion of multi-functionality and multi-value of traditional villages.Pay attention to the excava-tion of traditional cultural heritage and intensive and efficient material space,create a harmoni-ous and comfortable social space and protect and inherit traditional culture space;focusing on rural elements such as"ecology,culture,subject,and industry",strengthening ecological back-ground,inheriting and developing local culture,balancing capital advantages and local embed-dedness among local and cross-local subjects,so as to realize local reconstruction and character-istic remodeling of traditional Chinese villages.
