Research On The Development Of Agricultural Community From The Perspective Of Agriculture Multiple Values In Zhengzhou Urban Fringe

It is evident that there is a clear tendency of non-agriculturalization in the urban fringe inour country under the rapid urbanization. The value of agriculture is ignored and doubted, andthe urban-rural space appears to be simple assimilation. This research will explore for theintegration development of agriculture and space in the urban fringe from the perspective ofmultiple values of agriculture, which is of great theoretical value and realistic significancefor the urban-rural integration in our country nowadays.This paper takes Zhengzhou for an example. Firstly, it will analyze the phase features ofurban fringe villages’ spatial evolution and the changes of values, sort out the problemsoccurred in urban-rural spatial development under the non-agriculturalization trend and pointout that the main reason for the loss of agriculture value lies in “much emphasis on formswhile less on industry”.People rediscover the importance of agriculture by the decay of country, the safety offood and other problems. Under the tendency of multi-function of modern agriculture,agriculture and rural environment whose core is that land can bring many economic values,ecological values and social values. The realization of multiple values of agriculture canconstruct a new space involving production, life and ecology in the urban fringe which iscomplementary to the development of cities. After the analysis of diamond model of theadvantages of Zhengzhou’s agriculture development, it is found that the over pursuit ofeconomic values leads to the lack of agriculture service values such as ecology, culture andlandscape value.By drawing lessons from western agriculture urbanism, this paper proposes the ideal wayfor the construction of agricultural community in the urban fringe. Agricultural communityrefers to agriculture and relevant industry-orientated new types of community. It consists ofdominant community and ordinary community, which have the following four characteristics,including spatial forms suitable for agriculture, green facilities support, harmonious socialrelationship and reasonable space scale. The development of agricultural community can notonly provide food for local people, shorten the food mileage, but also lead to the flow ofurban-rural factors, continue and undertake regional culture, optimize spatial forms andadvance the harmonious development of urban and country.In order to have a deep analysis of the agricultural transition and space reconstruction inZhengzhou urban fringe, this paper draws the picture of agricultural development opportunity the development of agriculture according to the different characteristics of agriculturalresources from landforms, farmland, woodland and water distribution. And then analyzes thespace scale suitable for the development of agriculture. Based on this, Zhengzhou urbanfringe can be divided into three agriculture districts, namely, southwest hilly district, northerndistrict alongside Huanghe and eastern plain district. Then, by using the AHP analysis methodto establish the agricultural community development potential evaluation system, it will givea systematic analysis from the perspectives of economic, ecological and social values for thevillages which have high agricultural development values, judge the dominant community andlayout the agricultural unit rationally based on this.Diverse development path of different districts is the guarantee for the fully realization ofagriculture multiple values. This paper mainly analyzes and explores the development andfeatures of the three agricultural districts based on their different development conditions. Itwill not only reveal the loss of values from the perspective of “agriculture-value” and refinethe system of value reproduction, but also analyze the changes of different district socialspace from the perspectives of “society-space” and explore the measures for spacedevelopment. The concrete conclusions are the following. Southeast hilly district has beautifultrees and unique ravines topographic form and has a good development foundation for leisureagriculture development. It is ready for the development which is suitable for the realizationof agricultural multiple values based on social values and can guide the harmoniousdevelopment of agricultural community space integration development. Northern districtalongside Huanghe is the ecological defence for Zhengzhou. Based on the ecologicalresources advantages of Huanghe, including mountains, rivers, forests and farmland, it issuitable for industry complement and space synergetic development and the multi-realizationof agricultural multiple values which is brought by ecological values. While eastern sandyplain district has the advantage of traditional agricultural production, by relying on theintegration of Zhengzhou-Kaifeng and the development advantages of aviation port district,advance the agriculture industrialization by agricultural fair and commercial logistics,strengthen the agricultural competition, stimulate the fully realization of economic values andrealize the industry spatial agglomeration development.At last, this paper reflects about the actual predicaments in the transition from thevillages in Zhengzhou urban fringe to agricultural community under rapid urbanization andsummarizes the dynamic mechanism of the value reconstruction in Zhengzhou urban fringe.And then it presents the planning strategy of agricultural community. It proposes the optimaloperation strategy and guarantees mechanism of the value of urban fringe from the aspects of marketing service, business entity, community operation, subsidize system and other aspects.Finally, it will construct a networking system of urban and rural spatial development based onthe agricultural community as a unit to realize the differential urban-rural integration.
