Abstract:

As the difficult and key point of rural revitalization, an accurate analysis of the foundation of rural revitalization and its influencing factors in out-of-poverty mountainous areas not only can provide a scientific basis for establishing an effective link between the consolidation of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization in the new era, but also provides important support for the formulation of policies related to high-quality development in mountainous areas. Based on the connotation of rural revitalization foundation, we constructed an evaluation indicator system of rural revitalization foundation and took the Longnan mountainous areas in the hinterland of the western Qinling Mountains as a case area to assess the foundation of rural revitalization and analyze the dominant factors that affect its spatial differentiation. The results show that: 1) The overall level of the foundation of rural revitalization in the Longnan mountainous areas in 2020 was low, with a mean value of 0.299. There were great differences in the level of rural revitalization foundation in different dimensions. Among them, the foundation of ecological livability was the best, the affluent life was the worst, and the foundation of rural revitalization in areas of different landform types varied greatly. 2) The overall distribution pattern of the foundation of rural revitalization was characterized by "low in the middle and high in the peripheries". The medium level areas account for the highest proportion, at 44.62%, roughly in a Chuan-shaped distribution, and the high level areas only account for 12.30%, mainly clustered in the eastern part of the Huicheng Basin. The different dimensions of revitalization foundation also showed obvious spatial differences. 3) Altitude, cultivated land per capita, the number of people employed in the agricultural sector, and total power of agricultural machinery all affected the spatial differentiation of the foundation of rural revitalization in the region. Among these key influencing factors, total power of agricultural machinery had the highest explanatory power, and its interaction with other factors significantly enhanced the explanatory power of spatial differentiation of the foundation of rural revitalization. The dominant factors of spatial differentiation of rural revitalization foundation in areas of different landform types varied widely.

Key words: foundation of rural revitalization, multidimensional assessment, out-of-poverty mountainous areas, Longnan mountainous areas
