In order to implement local policies to promote rural sustainable development, this article, taking Shandong Province as an example, constructed an evaluation index system of " agricultural production-peasant life-rural ecology " in the county-villages, and analyzed the spatiotemporal characteristics of rural "agricultural production-peasant life-rural ecology" system and the coupling coordination relationship of each subsystem by using spatial analysis, analytic hierarchy process and coupling model. The study further divided the development functional areas of rural regional system in Shandong Province, and put forward some optimizing decisions for the rural sustainable development. The research results show that: (1) The "agricultural production-peasant life-rural ecology" system in Shandong Province has obvious Northeast-Southwest regional differentiation. The agricultural production subsystem in the northern region has a significantly faster development rate than the southern region; Compared with the western region, the peasant life subsystem in the eastern region has higher level; The ecological subsystems in Shandong Province are evenly distributed in space, and the level of the Jiaodong Peninsula is relatively high. 75.8% of the rural subsystems are still in the coupling of running-in phase, rural sustainability and coordination need to be further strengthened. (2) The “agricultural production-peasant life-rural ecology” system development function area in Shandong Province is dominated by low- and medium-coordinated development zones, accounting for 72.3% of the total, specifically, there are six types including low-coordinated and sustainable development zones, medium-coordinated and low-sustainable development zones, and low-coordinated and medium sustainable development zones, medium-coordinated sustainable development zones, high-coordinated sustainable development zones, and high-level coordinated sustainable development zones. (3) The functional areas of the "agricultural production-peasant life-rural ecology" system in different types must take measures to local conditions and classified. Low-level development zones such as the western and southwestern plain agricultural areas, and the southern hilly areas in Shandong Province have adjusted the industrial structure and transformation to increase the proportion of the secondary and tertiary industries. The medium development zones such as central areas and the Jiaodong Peninsula in Shandong Province are mainly focused on industrial agglomeration and technological innovation to build industrial brands. The high-level development zones in the Jiaodong Peninsula and the northern areas of Shandong Provinces will focus on scientific development and demonstration construction to develop mature rural development models. The rural "agricultural production-peasant life-rural ecology" system is based on the coupling coordination mechanism, and scientifically divides the county's rural development functional zones, which has important implications for the implementation of the county's rural revitalization strategy in Shandong Province and the promotion of rural coordinated development. |
