The measurement and inspiration of rural attraction based on the perspective of urban-rural interaction:A case study of Liuyang,Hunan
Rural attraction is the actual or potential ability and power of rural regional system to attract population,industrial capital,information technology and other resource elements to flow and gather in rural areas.The decline of rural attraction is the concrete representation of rural re-cession,and also the main source of rural problems such as rural hollowing and rural poverty.Im-proving rural attraction is an important way to promote rural revitalization,and the quantitative measurement of rural attraction is an important basis to judge the level and potential of rural de-velopment.Based on the perspective of urban-rural interaction,this paper adopts the method of combining subjective and objective indicators to build the basic measurement framework and quantitative measurement model of rural attraction,and carries out empirical research on Liuyang city,Hunan province.The results show the following:(1)Rural attraction is the resultant of rural pull,rural thrust,urban thrust,urban pull and urban-rural intermediary force.The comprehensive measurement of rural attraction should not only focus on the development conditions of the rural regional system itself,but also pay attention to the role of the external environment(city)in rural attractiveness.(2)The attraction level of rural areas in Liuyang presents obvious spatial differenti-ation characteristics.The attraction level of rural areas near the central town is relatively high,while the attractiveness level of other intermediate areas is relatively low.High and higher level areas account for a relatively small proportion(32.14%),while areas with moderate or lower gravity levels are widely distributed.The high-level areas are mainly concentrated in the north-west of Liuzhou,and the average comprehensive rural attractiveness level of this area is signifi-cantly higher than that of other areas.(3)The rural attraction of Liuyang has significant spatial ag-glomeration characteristics,and the global spatial positive correlation is significant.The local ar-eas with a single research unit as the analysis scale also have certain spatial correlation,mainly showing the distribution of high-high and low-high agglomeration areas.The high value rural at-traction areas centered around Yong'an,Dongyang,Beisheng,Shashi,Jiaoxi,and other areas in the northwest region have a significant positive driving effect on the surrounding areas.However,there are also local low-high agglomeration areas represented by Chunkou town,which have a significant gap with the rural attraction level in the surrounding areas due to their own develop-ment conditions.Based on this,the study proposes suggestions for enhancing rural attraction from the aspects of carrying out zoning classification regulation,strengthening the integration of regional advantageous resource elements,and promoting the integration of urban-town-village living circles.
