The Spatial Pattern Change Of Rural Life Quality And Its Formation Mechanism In Hunan Province

Improving the rural life quality is an inherent requirement for the scientific implementation of the "rural revitalization" strategy,and it is also a realistic need to conform to building a moderately prosperous society.Understanding the changing laws,differentiation patterns and formation mechanisms of rural life quality from the perspective of geography is a new field of rural geography research and an objective need to promote sustainable rural development.Under the background of the current comprehensive promotion of the "rural revitalization" strategy,it is of great significance to study the spatial pattern change of rural life quality and its formation mechanism to promote the innovation and development of rural geography and the formulation of rural development policies.Based on the theory of quality of life,Maslow's hierarchy of needs,human settlement environment science and multi-functional rural,this paper constructs a rural life quality measurement index system,selects Hunan province as a research area,and uses Hunan's second and third agricultural census data as support.The multiple-indicator comprehensive evaluation method is used to measure the rural life quality level of 101 counties in Hunan province in 2006 and 2016.Through exploratory spatial analysis and metrological spatial panel model,the paper analyzes the spatial pattern change and its formation mechanism of rural lifequality in Hunan,and proposes measures for improvement,in order to further understand the current situation and gaps of rural living standards in Hunan and the law of spatial differentiation,provide theoretical guidance and policy reference for the improvement of rural life quality and the revitalization of Hunan rural areas.The main conclusions drawn are as follows:(1)The measurement of the rural life quality in Hunan.From the six dimensions of economic income,living conditions and cultural life,infrastructure,public services and social security,ecological environment and organizational management,Hunan rural life quality measurement index system is constructed to comprehensively evaluate the rural life quality in each year.The results show that the overall level of rural life quality in 101 counties of Hunan province has continued to increase from2006 to 2016,and the relative differences in rural life quality are decreasing.(2)The evolution of the spatial pattern of rural life quality.Higher-level areas,high-level areas,low-level areas and lower-level areas of rural life quality are determined.The classification type further reflects that the rural life quality in Hunan has been greatly improved and shows a trend of balanced development.However,the spatial pattern of the east-high and west-low agglomeration situation of Hunan rural life quality has not changed fundamentally during this study period.Theglobal spatial autocorrelation analysis shows that there is a significant spatial positive correlation in the rural life quality in Hunan.With the passage of time,the clustering of rural life quality has a weakened agglomeration.The autocorrelation analysis of local space shows that the High-High and Low-Low areas of rural life quality in Hunan province are spatially agglomerated,and the high-high type county units are mainly distributed in the core area of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration and neighboring counties;low-low type county units are mainly distributed in the western Hunan.(3)The formation mechanism of the spatial pattern change of rural life quality.The results of metrological spatial panel model analysis show that per capita GDP,industrial structure,urbanization level,agricultural land productivity and agricultural labor productivity are the main influencing factors of spatial pattern change of rural life quality in Hunan.The formation of the spatial pattern of rural life quality is the result of the combination of natural conditions and resource endowments,social and economic development level,agricultural modernization and other influencing factors.In different periods of rural social and economic development,the extent and direction of each factor are different.They interact with each other,and interact with the three levels of production,life and ecology of the village,showing different mechanisms of action.This paper attempts to reveal the spatial pattern change and its formation mechanism of rural life quality in Hunan from a dynamic perspective,enriching the research results of rural geography.However,the specific mode of action and formation mechanism of the influencing factors on the spatial pattern change of rural life quality need to be further deepened.
