The economy of a river basin, based on its geographic environment, is a special kind of regional economy with the characteristics of entirety and relation, regionality and diversity, gradation and network, opening and dissipation etc. Because of the particularity and importance, it has special outstanding status in the development of society and economy all along. Sustainable development is a new brand development model, which has been recognized and honored broadly. The studies of sustainable development which regard river basin as a basic unit have been paid more and more attention to.On the basis of the view of the spatial difference and sustainable development of river basin economy, the article studies the spatial difference and changes of the rural economy of Yiluo River basin from two kinds of levels, including counties and cities, villages and towns. Further, the article analyzes the main factors that affect the economic spatial difference on each level. And on the former studies, the article establishes some principles and strategic emphases of the river basin rural economy sustainable development.On the level of counties and cities, the heavy-industry city Luoyang City, the coal city Yima City, Yanshi City and Gongyi City whose secondary industry especially rural industry are very advanced and much developed than other counties. The upper and middle reach counties, including Luonan county, Lushi county, Luoning county, Luanchuan county, Songxian county and Yiyang county, drop behind and have a relative big gap with the lower reach counties. While Mianchi county, Xin'an county, Mengjin county and Yichuan county are between the former two types on the whole, which approach much the upper and middle counties. The pattern of economic developmentlevels is very obvious, the level of lower reach areas is much higher than the upper and middle reach areas, and Jian River basin is higher than Yi River basin and Luo River basin.On the level of villages and towns, the economic spatial pattern accords with the counties and cities' in the main. The per capita net income of rural residents of most upper and middle reach villages and towns are low, while most lower reach villages and towns are relative higher, especially some in Luoyang city, Yanshi city and Gongyi city. The level of those which locates at the surroundings of county seat, or valleys and plains, or those which have obvious advantages of mineral resources, is apparently higher than those which have farther distance with county seat, complex terrain, and inconvenient traffics.Except some lower reach areas with high income, the income level of most villages and towns especially in the upper and middle reach of the river basin is lower than the average level of Henan province. The changes of economic spatial characteristics from 1995 to 2000 appear an attractive situation: the rich becoming richer and the poor becoming poorer. It is very typical in the Gongyi city, Luonan county and the center of Songxian county. While Mianchi county and Xin'an county are special, most of villages and towns' economic base are weak, but the increments of per capita net income of rural residents are very quickly.The economic spatial characteristic of Yiluo River basin couples well with physiognomy, natural resources and transportation facilities. The factors which affect the economic spatial difference of counties and cities control the villages and towns' economic spatial characteristics. One or several factors play dominant roles at partial place. While other factors, such as the distance with central city(county seat is the central city of a county), also have some effects to a certainty.On the basis of rural economic spatial difference characteristics and factors of Yiluo River basin, and the theory of river basin economic sustainable development, thearticle put forward some basic principles and strategic emphases of rural economic sustainable development. The principles include economic development first, the combination of making the co...
