Abstract:
Promoting the modernization of rural life, the localization of employment, and the diversification of industries are important goals of building 'beautiful and harmonious villages', and they are also the key to achieving rural revitalization. Based on the evaluation of rural construction in Hubei Province in 2023 and taking Huanggang City as a sample, this paper constructs an evaluation model of rural 'homeindustry synergy' with townships as the basic unit, and proposes corresponding optimization strategies while revealing its spatial differentiation characteristics. The results show that: 1) The level of rural residential-industrial synergy in Huanggang City generally presents a state of 'high coupling, medium and low coordination', and the spatial distribution generally presents the characteristics of 'low in the northwest and high in the southeast, and the junction area is lower than the central area'. 2) The coupling coordination level of counties (cities) with dominant agricultural functions was higher than that of ecological counties (cities); The counties (cities) in the plain lake area are slightly better than the counties (cities) in the mountainous areas. Based on the above findings, this study puts forward three suggestions from the perspective of synergy: 'improving the construction of human settlements through service equalization in villages in the border area under the leadership of ecology', 'expanding the industrial development path of villages in the plain lake area under the leadership of agriculture by extending the chain and supplementing the chain', and 'comprehensively improving the ability of integrating residential resources through joint creation in economically weak hinterland villages', in order to make up for the shortcomings of rural development and promote the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas.
