| Since entering the 21st century, population and development has been the common challenges facing the world. With the explosive expansion of population, population, resources and environment have become increasingly prominent, and adhere to sustainable development, it's a long way to go.At present, in China, with the rapid development of economic, in a period of rapid urbanization. Acceleration of urbanization, give a profound impact to the wide rural areas, including the population, living area and the way of life and production. Urbanization in rural areas, agricultural production is the base, industrialization is the driving force, the tertiary industry is the follow-up driving power, development of economic is the deciding factor, the key is to adhere to coordinate the development of the population, resources and environment.Jianghan Plain, in central China. "Liang Hu harvest, China is enough", has been famous for hundreds of years in history. Since1949, has been the imprtant base of commodity with grain and cotton in China, also the agricultural focus in Hubei Province. Jianghan Plain, has large population and widespread land, agriculture is derdeveloped, the level of urbanization is very low, the development of economic is slow, has seriously hampered social development, as the population growing, conflicts will become increasingly prominent. In Jianghan Plain, as the important agricultural base in China, to solve the population problem, the key is to ensure stable production of food, and accelerate socio-economic development.This will select the Jiayu county in Jianghan Plain, for research, to explore the sustainable development of population in rural areas, with the background of rapid urbanization in China. It has practical significance, representativeness and feasibility.In this study, standing on the theory of sustainable development, according to the principles of sustainable development, based on the collation of population data over the years, to analyze the law of rural population growth, and to predict the future population size. Use the theory of population carrying capacity, to estimate the population carrying capacity in Jiayu county, to analyze the coordination condition among the population, resources and environment. To ground on the local facts, to bring up the proposal in policy to maintain the sustainable development.Based on the in-depth analysis of population growth and population carrying capacity in Jiayu county, obtain some conclusions of the the population sustainable development in the rural areas, 1rst, for a long period of time, population growth will continue at a relatively high level in the rural areas, and the population growth will bright a heavy pressure to sustainable development in the rural areas.2nd, cultivated lands is a key factor for the population sustainable development of in rural areas, reduction of cultivated lands will directly reduce the population carrying capacity, thus affecting the sustainable development.3rd, in rural areas, the development of economic is backward, and the urbanization level is low, the tertiary industries get behind, turn in to the important reasons for the low capacity population in rural areas. |
