China is facing with sharpened conflict between rural and urban areas and serious environmental threat from the dense population in the process of urban scale expanding. In this way, more concerns are paid to the development of rurban community. Rurban areas initially serve as the business district for exchange of agricultural products and gradually develop into districts integrating agriculture, industry and commerce. With the improvement of people's living standard, rurban community has come into being. Communalization and systemization of the community management have brought convenience to people's life, which made people more concerned about the development of rurban community.The sustainable development strategy has become the focus of the 21st century. The harmonic development of population, society, economy, environment and resources has been achieved to some degree both theoretically and practically since the pursuit of harmonic development has become the intrinsic requirement of our human beings. Furthermore, fair sustainable development has become the ideal choice for area development. Serving as the organic cell of local development, the sustainable development of community is the basis of individual development. Since rurban community is one of the three largest community types, namely, urban community, rurban community and rural community, the sharpened conflict between the urban and the rural has made decision-makers more concerned about the development of rurban community.Rurban community serves as an important channel connecting people, materials and information between urban and rural areas. Therefore, it is necessary to construct a systematic ecology-oriented rurban community integrating the harmonic development of society, economy, environment, and resources. In order to achieve this, it is important to fully exert the various advantages of rurban community in its own geographical location, population structure, industrial structure, cultural atmosphere, environment and management, etc. with the theoretical guidance of sustainable development and the concept of scientific development. Since economy is the basis of development and development becomes the embodiment of economic outcomes, the concept of sustainable development should be adhered to in the process of solving the existing problems in rurban community. Thus, it is necessary to set up a scientific indicator system of rurban community sustainable development capacity and make a qualitative and quantitative estimate on the rurban community development. Furthermore, the comparatively developed theory of urban and rural community development may supply implication to the relief of conflict between urban and rural development and the overall sustainable development of rurban community, which may become the highlight of local development in China.The healthy development of rurban community plays an important role in tackling such major problems in present China as urbanization, urban-and-rural conflict and the construction of new rural areas. The construction of rurban community needs to be advanced adhering to the agreed plan and criteria from all aspects under the guidance of sustainable development strategy. To achieve the sustainable development of rurban community, it is necessary to focus upon the harmonic development of people and environment and set up a scientific indicator system of rurban community sustainable development capacity through combining theoretical development and practical experience. To be exact, it is necessary to make a quantitative estimate on the development of rurban community from the specific aspects of population, economy, society, environment and resources, etc. and the feasibility of all the chosen indicators needs to be tested in practice. Since the sustainable development of rurban community is a dynamic process which is synchronically static and diachronically dynamic, to establish a dynamic developing system becomes the key to the construction of ecology-oriented rurban community.The 21st century is a new era of rurban community development. It is necessary to abandon the old mode of development and adopt a scientific mode of development. To be exact, it is important to take the mode of sustainable development and establish ecology-oriented rurban community integrating the mutual development of economy, environment, resources and society. Under the theoretical guidance of sustainable development, the three communities in China, urban community, rurban community and rural community will share mutual sustaining development.
