However, many regions still face the issue of a conflict between economic development and ecological protection. Symbiosis theory provides a new perspective for understanding the interactive relationship of rural industry and ecology(RIE). Jiangxi Province, one of China's first national pilot zones for ecological conservation, exemplifies rural areas' typical challenges in balancing industrial development and ecological protection, and has been selected as the study area. By integrating the characteristics of RIE with symbiosis theory, a comprehensive RIE assessment framework was constructed. The comprehensive model, spatial autocorrelation method, and symbiosis theory model were employed to address the spatio-temporal evolution characteristics of RIE, reveal the symbiotic relationship(SR) and the symbiosis types of RIE, and explore the path of symbiotic development between RIE. Results indicated that:(1) Since 2015, RIE has shown an upward trend, with regional differences in ecological development levels gradually shrinking. Significant spatial correlation and agglomeration characteristics exist, but a coordinated regional development pattern has not yet emerged.(2) Overall, the symbiosis degree(SD) between RIE showed a positive trend with narrowing gaps, the symbiosis coefficient(SC) of industry to ecology converged to 0.5 under a positive asymmetric mutualism(PAM) mode, suggesting that their relationship tended to be coordinated. Specifically, rural ecology grew increasingly influential on industry in most counties.(3) Rural areas were classified into different types led by industry-dominated PAM, and various optimization paths were proposed. Future efforts should promote the equalization of the interaction forces between RIE according to local conditions.展开更多

文摘Digital rural governance is a micro-level governance practice within the broader framework of building a Digital China.It involves the integration of digital technology into rural governance to drive the digital transformation of rural governance.In recognition of the varied development stages of digital rural governance,the concept of“digital context”provides an analytical lens for exploring the differences in practical models of digital rural governance.By examining the contextual characteristics and differential mechanisms of digital rural governance,this paper delves into its social foundation and technological adaptation.The research finds that the context of digital rural governance primarily encompasses three dimensions:contextual foundation,contextual logic,and contextual optimization.First,the contextual foundation of digital rural governance manifests as the social basis,comprising the social structure of villages,the type of village development,and the age structure of villagers,which constitute the social stratification forms underlying digital rural governance.Second,the contextual logic of digital rural governance focuses on the adaptation of digital technology to rural governance,promoting the adaptation of digital technology to the rural governance foundation,village governance scenarios,and villagers’digital capabilities.Third,the contextual optimization of digital rural governance emphasizes integrating digital technology with both administrative and livelihood-oriented governance affairs at the village level.This approach leverages the governance value and functional potential of digital technology to streamline digital governance processes and enhance digital governance capabilities.As a developmental direction for the transformation of rural governance,digital rural governance must not only highlight the governance advantages of digital technology but also prioritize the inherent context of rural governance.It aims to enhance the effectiveness of rural governance through digital technology and advance high-quality digital village development tailored to local conditions.
文摘The revitalisation of rural areas involves complex power dynamics and interests.This study focuses on multi-stakeholder collaboration within the creative transformation of villages,examining how stakeholder dynamics and identity affect project outcomes.Comparing cases from China's mainland and Taiwan of China,it combines spatial production theory with relational art perspectives to analyse the interplay of power structures,development models,and identity conflicts in artistic community building.Findings indicate:(1)Artistic rural revitalisation must prioritise the interweaving of economic,cultural,and social objectives alongside the cultivation of local creative resources;(2)place-making initiatives strengthen local social bonds and emotional attachment through public spaces and community art;(3)non-governmental organisations,acting as intermediaries for policy implementation,enhance the social innovation efficacy of rural governance.
文摘Utilizing data from 5,481 village-level service stations(VS)in Baoding,China,this study empirically investigates the impact of digital inclusive finance(DIF)and VS infrastructure on rural e-commerce(RE)development.Results demonstrate that DIF significantly promotes RE by reducing transaction and financing costs(β=0.783,P<0.01).VS as physical infrastructure significantly drives RE growth(β=0.654,P<0.01).Crucially,DIF and VS exhibit synergistic effects(interactionβ=0.421,P<0.01),producing a“1+1>2”enhancement.Regional economic development,population density,and education levels positively influence RE.Current challenges include financial misallocation,infrastructure deficits,and skill gaps.We propose a“One Core,Three Wings”framework—Core:Develop tailored financial products for specialty industries(luggage,textiles,mushrooms);Wings:(1)Upgrade digital infrastructure,(2)Optimize policy synergy,(3)Enhance inclusive capacity through elderly-friendly technologies and training.Implementation strategies include establishing risk-sharing mechanisms,expanding VS functionality,and creating DIF-RE-VS alliances to foster sustainable rural revitalization.

文摘This study focuses on the talent supply-demand contradiction in grassroots employment under the Rural Revitalization Strategy.It systematically analyzes the internal and external driving mechanisms behind rural college students decisions to pursue careers at the grassroots level,exploring the"push-pull"factors and the guiding role of university counselors.Employing a mixed-methods approach combining literature review and in-depth interviews,the analysis reveals that urban employment competition pressure,high cost of living coupled with economic burdens,and household registration and social resource barriers constitute the primary"push"factors.Conversely,national policy support,emotional attachment to one s hometown and the need for value realization,as well as grassroots development opportunities and growth potential,serve as the main"pull"factors.University counselors play a significant guiding role in the employment decision-making process of rural college students.Through ideological guidance,information dissemination,capacity building,and psychological support,they enhance students job-seeking capabilities and adaptability to grassroots work,thereby strengthening their identification with such career paths.This paper provides practical insights for counselors facilitating the return of rural college students to grassroots employment.
