In the process of modernization, inherent economic and socialinfrastructure in China’s rural space was impacted by city. The urban-rural gapexpanded gradually. As a new important component of rural development,systemization of rural residential areas was most closely related to rural residents inthe overall arrangement of living environment. To enhance the living quality and toimprove the rural living environment of rural residents, it is urgent need to promotethe comprehensiveness of systemization of rural residential areas planning, toinnovate planning theories and methods.Since2003, China has entered a new socialist countryside construction phase,which is industry nurtures agriculture and cities support rural areas. With the Nationand Jiangsu Province proposition on the new rural construction, which is urban-ruralintegration, the traditional pattern of systemization of rural residential areas has beendifficult to adapt to the new requirements of rural development. This paperintroduces the theoretical framework and analysis techniques of “living circleâ€. Onthe basis of both current rural residential status investigation and assessment, andpublic service facilities application regularity, combined with quantitative analysismethod and geographic information technology, through the form of spheres todispose public service facility in rural areas, in order to determine the spatialdistribution of rural settlements. The core of the living circle theory is to provide apublic service, which is to establish the circle of public service, which is incoincidence with the strategic requirements of equalization of public services.Meanwhile, the paper in the aspect of social science and humanities, proposed that public financial investment should be closely related with basic living service circle.Basic public services were provided by government, which was determined bypublic financial investment, which was also determined by the nature of urbanization.The nature of urbanization is to keep the process of the public finance transferpayments in the rural areas.This paper selected an empirical research of Jintan city in Jiangsu Province,which is economically developed and rural development is typical. Based on thevillage development characteristics of Jintan and the prior problem of planning andimplementation, the basic ideas of people-oriented, organic renewal, policyguidelines were put forward. Combined with Jintan village layout planning research,this paper introduced the systemization of rural residential areas method and itsapplication in the living circle pattern, which is a desirable effective guide andreference to the long-term development construction in rural areas. To construct theliving circle, in essence, is to construct public service circle, production servicecircle, traffic service circle and urban leisure circle, and ultimately to achieve thehealthy development of urban and rural areas of integration mode. |
