| After the founding of new China, in order to ensure implementation of the strategy of the development of heavy industry, the state was geographically divided urban and rural and gave them the different development policies; on industrial policy, the state accumulate funds for industrial development through the industrial and agricultural price scissors. And then Dual economic system was formed. After reform and opening up and in market economy, the Dual economic system and the division between urban and rural did not disappear with the disappearance of the original strategy. In market economy, the gap between urban and rural was growing wider and wider, and effective interaction between urban and rural was rare. This not only affects the urban and rural economic development, but also poses a serious social problem.To address the urban-rural gap and the problem of insufficient interaction between urban and rural, "Urban and rural development" was,put out as an important strategy, and is in practice gradually. The fundamental aim of "Urban and rural development" is to achieve coordinated development of urban and rural, to establish a harmonious relationship between urban and rural. As a geographical unit and an economic unit, urban and rural have different characteristics and complementary relationship, and there are multi-faceted ties between the two. It may provide some help to establish harmonious relations between urban and rural that rationalize these complex links and find a mechanism which can promote the coordinated development of both.Urbanization is a great change in social structure and economic structure, with many aspects of social life involved. The development of urbanization has an impact on the development of industry and city, on the development of agriculture and rural, on the interaction between urban and rural and on evolution of urban-rural relationship. It effects the development of both urban and rural. Industrialization and urbanization are main trends in China, they will have a greater effect on the rural, and more profound impact on the establishment of harmonious relationship between urban and rural. Based on the above theoretical and practical reasons, this paper was written in the perspective urbanization and use urbanization as starting point and breach for research of mechanism of coordinated urban and rural development.Literature research methods, Qualitative research methods and Quantitative research methods were used in this paper. Literature research methods were used to collect and analyze related literature and generalize related theory and organize the existing research results. Qualitative research methods were used in this paper to analyze and give sum up of international historical experience and find the factor related to coordinated development of urban and rural and have a grasp on the composition of mechanisms for coordinated development of urban and rural. Quantitative research methods were used to explore the role of the factors through empirical data analysis. Normative analysis was used to construct an integrated system with factors related to mechanism of the coordinated development of urban and rural.On the basis of the preparation above, the arrangements of various parts of this paper was made as follow:Chapter 1, introduction, illustrate the background of the topic, details the research methods, introduce framework of this paper, clarify the purpose and meaning of this study. Chapter 2, the theoretical basis for the establishment of mechanisms for the coordinated development of urban and rural, describe some important theories on which the mechanisms should base, including Dual economy theory, the Division of labor and Exchange theory, Urbanization theory; summarized research at home and abroad; explains the key concepts relevant to this study, including the "urban-rural relations," "coordinated urban and rural development"," mechanism for coordinated development of urban and rural". Chapter 3, the historical experience of urban-rural relations in urbanization process at home and abroad, summarized background of urbanization, the basic driving force of urbanization, urban-rural relations in the process of urbanization, policies of coordination for urban and rural; summarized factor involved in establishment of mechanisms coordinated development of urban and rural, reviewed the evolution of relationship between urban and rural in the process of urbanization in China, explore current problems in urban-rural relations in the background of China's urbanization. Chapter 4, empirical analysis for mechanism for the coordinated development of urban and rural, analyze data form China involved in the coordinated development of urban and rural summarized in Chapter 3, figure out the relationship between urbanization and coordinated development of urban and rural, the relationship between industrial development and coordinated development of urban and rural, between market economy and coordinated urban and rural development. Chapter 5 summarizes the above analysis and integrated those factors into a system which can promote the coordinated development of urban and rural.Based on previous research, we conduct several innovations. (1)It is a systematic study. In this paper, based on previous studies focused on a single issue about the coordinated development of urban and rural, these issues are verified, screened and straightened out, and substantive issues are integrated into a complete mechanism. This is a systematic summary.(2) Related concepts were discussed. Authoritative and clear conclusions of some concept, such as "urban-rural relations", "coordinated urban and rural development", were not found in previous research. In order to complete this research, the concept was explained in the dynamic and static terms.(3) An empirical analysis on relationship between market economy and coordinated development of urban and rural was not found in collected literature. This paper studied the issue, but limited by data, the study is not perfect. (4) On Summary of the historical experience, this paper does not base on a single country experience but the experience of many countries, so that conclusions are more convincing. |
