Abstract
Practical village planning is not only an important guide for implementing the rural revitalization strategy but also an important support for building a sustainable rural development model. The scientific measurement of rural development potential to effectively identify the future development direction and mode of rural areas is of great significance to realize the implementation of “hierarchical and key points” of village planning. Taking 38 villages in Shapingba District of Chongqing as the study area, this study comprehensively measures the rural development potential from four dimensions: location advantage, resource endowment, economic vitality, and development constraint. Results reveal the following: (1) the spatial distribution pattern of rural development potential in the study area is centered on the central and southern urban development area, gradually decreasing toward the peripheral area. The village development potential tends to be balanced overall, but differences are observed in advantage and development obstacles of villages in the district, and the four sub-dimensions show a large spatial heterogeneity;(2) the 38 administrative villages were divided into four types, namely, core planning area, important planning area, general planning area, and basic control area. Their percentages were 13.16%, 52.63%, 23.68%, and 10.53%, respectively; (3) differentiated planning contents and strategies for different types of areas are adopted to prepare well-detailed and clearly focused village plans to promote sustainable rural development.
Highlights
As a traditional agricultural country, China still has approximately 600,000 administrative villages, which bear the development and change of agricultural production, rural life, rural landscape, and local culture [1]
In 2008, the Urban–Rural Planning Law was promulgated. This law elevated the legal norms of rural planning to the level of the “basic law” of the country, established the legal status of the village planning system, and clarified its planning content, mainly including the village construction planning and the overall planning of village land use [3]. The former focused on the specific arrangement of village construction land layout, whereas the latter focused on land use control [4]
Practical village planning is the legal basis for carrying out national land use development and protection activities, implementing land space use control, issuing planning permits for urban and rural construction projects, and carrying out various constructions in the rural area
Summary
As a traditional agricultural country, China still has approximately 600,000 administrative villages, which bear the development and change of agricultural production, rural life, rural landscape, and local culture [1]. Practical village planning is the legal basis for carrying out national land use development and protection activities, implementing land space use control, issuing planning permits for urban and rural construction projects, and carrying out various constructions in the rural area. This planning has become an important public policy tool for guiding and regulating village construction and governance and an important regulatory tool for achieving sustainable rural development [6]. Under the background of establishing the territorial spatial planning system, village planning is a pioneering and basic work for implementing the rural revitalization strategy and the most basic and microscopic planning unit for implementing the control of all elements of territorial spatial planning in rural areas [7]
