Research on the High-Quality Development of Agricultural Supply Chain Financial Ecosystem Empowered by Science and Technology

A systematic perspective on agricultural supply chain finance can offer fresh insights into its development. The high-quality development of the agricultural supply chain finance ecosystem is crucial for the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas and the realization of agricultural power. Based on the current state of development of this ecosystem, this paper identifies several bottlenecks, such as insufficient policy and technical support in the macro-environment system, weak incentives for independent circulation within the industrial environment system, and inadequate motivation for stakeholders to participate in the micro-environment system. To address these issues, this paper proposes that the visualization, digitalization, and authenticity characteristics of the “blockchain + Internet of Things” technology architecture can effectively resolve these bottlenecks. Additionally, targeted strategies are suggested to promote the high-quality development of the agricultural supply chain finance ecosystem.

The Different Strategies of the Italian Regions within the 2023 2027 Rural Development Programme

Following the European Commission’s approval of the CAP Strategic Plan and the 21 Italian region (CSR)-related strategic documents, the financial aspect that characterized the single national CAP plan was made available. Here, we present and analyze the final data on the distribution of public resources for interventions between 2023 and 2027. This marks a pivotal period of strategic information for those who follow the evolution of the rural development policy, providing vital indications of policymakers’ priorities. In Italy, where rural development policy is highly regionalized, it is difficult to acquire an overall view of the strategic choices adopted by the individual regions. The primary objective of this article is to offer a comprehensive and enlightening synopsis of the regional choices in the CSRs. It aims to identify shared strategic paths in rural development, with a specific focus on the financial allocation in each of the three historical macro-objectives of the CAP: the competitiveness of the agri-food sector, the protection of the environment, and the revitalization of rural areas. Cluster analysis classification allows for aggregating the strategies adopted, allowing for comparisons across the Italian regions. The results show three regional groups focused on environmental strategy, structural investment measures, and resource distribution that is more balanced between these two approaches. Identifying the strategic choices made by the regions allows policymakers to predict different development trajectories and the progress of the expenditure indicators over the years. At the moment, it is impossible to verify whether the policy mix defined in the budget allocation is consistent with the strategic statements.

The Integrated Analysis of Territorial Transformations in Inland Areas of Italy: The Link between Natural, Social, and Economic Capitals Using the Ecosystem Service Approach

This paper examines how spatial dynamics have impacted natural capital and the provision of ecosystem services. The units outlined by the National Strategy for Inland Areas (SNAI) have been used as the territorial units for this study. The SNAI is a public policy focused on enhancing the quality of services to citizens (such as transportation, healthcare, and education). It proposes the economic revitalization of inland areas undergoing processes of marginalization. Our focus on inland areas stems from two primary reasons: first, no previous studies in Italy have analyzed the changes in ecosystem services in SNAI areas; and second, SNAI areas are well-suited to providing ecosystem services that are in demand by urban areas. Although this study does not cover all aspects inherent to the topic, it represents a starting point aimed at understanding the links between environmental and socio-economic dynamics and ecosystem service changes. This is essential for both current and future generations. By analyzing the processes of permanence and transformation, modifications in the supply–demand balance have hereby been studied, as well as the economic variations in ecosystem services. The period considered runs from 1990 to 2018. These findings could help governmental institutions in developing sustainable governance models, in line with spatial policies and strategies.

Does rural e-commerce improve the economic resilience of family farms?

E-commerce and other digital economies are emerging drivers for high-quality development in the Chinese economy. Based on the e-commerce plan in rural China, this paper investigates the effect of e-commerce development on the economic resilience of family farms, using data from 110,574 family farms in China from 2013 to 2021 and applying the staggered DID method. The results show that e-commerce development significantly enhances the resilience of family farms. Mechanism tests reveal that e-commerce policy substantially reduces the financing constraints of family farms and curbs underinvestment, thereby boosting their resilience. However, the effect on family farms with overinvestment is not significant. Additionally, the analysis of heterogeneity indicates that e-commerce has a greater impact on the resilience of family farms in areas with better institutional quality. Regarding the development status of the farm, the impact of e-commerce on resilience is greater in large-scale and capital-intensive family farms. Overall, this study sheds light on the actual impact of rural e-commerce in China on the economic resilience of family farms and offers valuable empirical insights for the revitalization of rural areas in developing countries.

Exploring the Potential of Generative Adversarial Networks in Enhancing Urban Renewal Efficiency

As Chinese cities transition into a stage of stock development, the revitalization of industrial areas becomes increasingly crucial, serving as a pivotal factor in urban renewal. The renovation of old factory buildings is in full swing, and architects often rely on matured experience to produce several profile renovation schemes for selection during the renovation process. However, when dealing with a large number of factories, this task can consume a significant amount of manpower. In the era of maturing machine learning, this study, set against the backdrop of the renovation of old factory buildings in an industrial district, explores the potential application of deep learning technology in improving the efficiency of factory renovation. We establish a factory renovation profile generation model based on the generative adversarial networks (GANs), learning and generating design features for the renovation of factory building profiles. To ensure a balance between feasibility and creativity in the generated designs, this study employs various transformation techniques on each original profile image during dataset construction, creating mappings between the original profile images and various potential renovation schemes. Additionally, data augmentation techniques are applied to expand the dataset, and the trained models are validated and analyzed on the test set. This study demonstrates the significant potential of the GANs in factory renovation profile design, providing designers with richer reference solutions.

The integrated development of urban and rural areas is the main line and focus of the three rural issues'' work in the new era, which is of great significance for solving the problems of unbalanced and inadequate development in ethnic regions and promoting the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. Based on the review of the evolution of urban-rural relations and related theories of urban-rural integrated development, this paper analyzes the prominent problems in ethnic regions, such as the imbalance of urban-rural development, rural hollowing, lagging infrastructure and public services, and ecological environment protection. Centering on the main line of digital empowerment for rural revitalization in ethnic regions, systematic countermeasures and suggestions are put forward from the aspects of constructing a digital rural development strategy'', promoting the system integration of `people-industry-land' '', taking classified measures to promote the revitalization of different types of rural areas'', promoting the free flow of urban and rural production factors'', and promoting rural space reconstruction''. At the same time, based on typical case practices, the replicable and extendable experience of digital rural development is summarized, the main challenges faced are analyzed, and policy suggestions are put forward from the aspects of top-level design, financial support, resource integration, pilot demonstration, and talent cultivation, so as to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the integrated development of urban and rural areas and rural revitalization in ethnic regions.

Rural spatial restructuring in suburbs under capital intervention: Spatial construction based on nature

Rapid urbanization and consumerization are leading to significant transformation and spatial restructuring in the rural areas of China's suburbs. Promoting the commodification of rural nature with capital has become an important strategy for rural spatial restructuring. However, the research on how capital reshapes rural space from the perspective of rural nature is still insufficient. Based on the theoretical perspective of nature commodification, this study constructs a framework to analyze the relationship between rural nature and rural spatial restructuring. Taking Nanping Meditation Town in Guangzhou as a typical case, it discusses the process and mechanism of rural spatial restructuring in suburbs relying on the commodification of rural nature with capital’s intervention. The results show that: (1) Driven by China’s process of counter-urbanization and consumerism, capital constructs rural nature in suburbs by giving meaning to it. Diversified capitals promote the multi-functionalization, networking, and commodification of material, social, and cultural spaces in the countryside through the process of redistribution of urban and rural resources. At the same time, along with the spatial games of pluralistic subjects, the material, social, and cultural spaces further interact with each other and constantly undergo reconstruction. (2) The commodification of rural nature is an external response and a crucial strategy of rural spatial restructuring. It offers a new approach to enhance the value of the countryside. Rural nature is commodified through resources integration and value excavation, product planning and design, brand promotion and marketing under the influence of various capital entities. This process holds significant theoretical and practical importance for the endogenous development and revitalization of rural areas.

Study on the Coupling and Coordinated Development Mechanism and Implementation Path of Digital Economy Drive and Rural E-Commerce

The rural revitalization strategy is taken as an important measure to solve the problem of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and a powerful starting point for realizing this strategy is agricultural e-commerce. The vigorous development of agriculturale-commerce helps farmers eliminatepoverty, increase income, and promote agricultural industrialization. While bringing new development opportunities, it is also faced with new challenges, mainly including the lag of related supporting construction, the imbalance of regional development, and the unsustainability of development structure. With the rapid development of the digital economy, using digital technology to promote the reform of agricultural e-commerceis particularly critical, which plays an important role in promoting the digital transformation process of the agricultural economy and accelerating rural revitalization.Therefore, China should actively use a variety of digital technologies, take digital agricultural e-commerce as the core, and focus on optimizing and implementing the construction of relevant supporting facilities, innovating the development mode of agricultural e-commerce, and constructing a sustainable chain development system, thus providing new ideas and directions for the development of agricultural e-commerce and better promoting the revitalization of digital rural areas.

Rural homestead reform in China: unveiling urbanization dynamics and lessons for sustainable development

The unique experience of land reform in China holds significant implications for other nations in urgent need of liberating and developing their productivity, providing valuable insights and lessons. This study conducted a micro-level analysis of land reform in China, the United States, and India, focusing on the implications for other nations. Surveys were conducted on 459 households in 12 townships in Zhejiang and Sichuan provinces, China. A random sampling approach was employed, selecting 5 sample counties (cities, districts) across Jinhua, Shaoxing, and Chengdu. Within each county (city, district), 2–3 townships were randomly selected, and 2–3 villages were chosen from each township. Subsequently, 10–20 households were randomly surveyed in each village. Statistical analysis using descriptive statistics and the Logistic model revealed robust results with p values below 0.05 for key variables. China’s new urbanization strategy highlights the necessity of reforming the rural homestead system, particularly as higher urbanization rates prompt farmers to withdraw from and transfer their homesteads worldwide. Tailored homestead policies that consider regional disparities in urbanization levels are crucial. A micro-level survey underscores the impact of urbanization, household head identity, and age on farmers’ decisions regarding homestead exit and transfer. Addressing external pressures, efforts should prioritize the revitalization of rural areas and the promotion of sustainable development. This includes enhancing small and medium-sized cities, fostering on-site urbanization, and creating nearby employment opportunities for farmers. However, the effectiveness of these measures varies across regions and is influenced by local levels of marketization. Internally, there is a need to bolster skill training and vocational education for farmers. In summary, the policy recommendations stemming from the micro-level survey in this study offer valuable insights for land reform strategies and sustainable development initiatives, spanning from individual farmers to national policies. They also contribute to a deeper understanding for policymakers, providing a novel analytical perspective.

Accessibility of Urban Tourism in Historical Areas: Analysis of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Safranbolu

Expansion of cities with population growth leads to the differentiation of urban texture, negatively affecting the accessibility of tourism areas in historical regions. For this reason, there is a need to develop tourism areas that enable people to experience the areas of historical heritage. Sustainable urban development, which is also the theory of the study, has become an agenda for the protection and revitalization of historical areas in order to increase accessibility to tourism. The Safranbolu Protected Area, which is one of the oldest settlements with its traditional housing texture and which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites List in Turkey, was chosen as the study area. In this study, the aim is to examine the accessibility of historical tourism centers, analyze the spatial configuration of the street texture in the city of Karabük and determine the features of the formation mechanism of the Safranbolu historical region. The research questions are based on the impact of (1) the accessibility of the street network on the formation mechanism of the urban architecture and (2) the shaping of urban tourism areas in historical cities. The space syntax method was used to examine the relationship between the building features of the Safranbolu Urban Protected Area and the formation features of the space. Within the scope of the study, the accessibility of the Safranbolu historical center was examined through the street texture that shapes the city form using data from Open Street Map. Segment and axial analyses were made based on the current street network data of the city. The key findings of the research revealed that the accessibility level of the city’s street network was practically effective in shaping the Safranbolu Urban Protected Area. It was theoretically found that the streets with a high global integration value in the city have an impact on the shaping of traditional architecture and constitute important routes for tourism in sustainable development. The findings serve as a reference for researchers in sustainable development, urban planners and local governments who will use it to test the methodology for understanding the street layout of the historical area and improving the experiential characteristics of the users.

Transformation of Abandoned Railways into Tourist Itineraries/Routes: Model of Revitalization of Marginal Rural Areas

Railways that were once utilized by conventional speed trains but now lay technologically outdated and neglected are scarcely in use today, with many lying abandoned. These rail networks sprawl across vast areas, posing a substantial impediment to sustainable land use and management. Our research advocates for the adoption of tourist itinerary/route as a viable model for the transformation of abandoned railways into sustainable and functional systems. This innovative concept involves repurposing abandoned railways into tourist itineraries with the aim of utilizing them for tourism and commercial ventures. Recognizing a knowledge gap, particularly the absence of scientifically grounded models, on a selected case study (abandoned regional railway number 223 in the Toplica District, Serbia), we develop and present a model for the identification and Tourist Evaluation of Abandoned Railways (TEAR model). The defined model comprises a total of 27 sub-indicators categorized into four groups of indicators: natural tourist values (NV), anthropogenic tourist values (AV), tourist attractiveness of the railway (TA), and functional values (FV). The findings from the TEAR model suggest that the abandoned railway holds significant tourism value, with a rating of ≥0.7. Specifically, three sets of indicators—NV, AV, and TA—indicate a high level of tourist values (≥0.7), while FV falls within a moderate range of tourist values (0.4 ≤ V < 0.7). This endeavor not only supports sustainable local and regional development but also contributes to the enhancement of rural landscapes and the revitalization of rural areas. Importantly, this initiative aligns directly and indirectly with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), thus fostering progress towards broader economic, societal, and environmental objectives.

Digital technology-enabled non-heritage spatial landscape design in the context of rural revitalization

Abstract The development of digital technology provides new impetus and methods for rural revitalization in terms of spatial landscape design for intangible cultural heritage (ICH). Digital technology can effectively preserve and transmit cultural heritage and promote the sustainable development of local culture and economy by enhancing its experiential and interactive nature. As an essential carrier of non-heritage culture, rural areas face contradictions between tradition and modernity, conservation and development. In-depth study is needed to understand how to use digital technology to promote rural revitalization while protecting NRLs. This study explores how digital technology can assist non-heritage spatial landscape design in rural revitalization to promote cultural inheritance and regional development. This paper analyzes the landscape design of 18 digitized non-heritage spaces with local characteristics quantitatively and qualitatively. The integration of NRL spaces increased by 30% on average, while visitor satisfaction increased by 25%. At the same time, the inheritance and promotion of local culture were enhanced by 40%. Through the application of digital technology, the recognition, guidance, culture, and diversity of the NRM space have significantly improved. Digital technology enhances the design quality and experience of non-heritage spaces and promotes the development of cultural tourism and economic revitalization in rural areas. The study provides new perspectives and practical paths for protecting and utilizing non-heritage in the context of rural revitalization.

Spatial distribution patterns and factors influencing rural tourism destinations: An empirical study of China's agritainment resorts.

Agritainment is one of the essential aspects of rural tourism and plays an important role in the economic transformation and revitalization of rural areas. Taking 9200 agritainment resorts in China as a research object, this paper systematically uses geospatial analysis methods to analyze their spatial distribution patterns and influencing mechanisms. The results indicate: (1) All types of agritainment have a condensed distribution in space and are oriented in the northeast-southwest direction, with a central axis generally located in the Beijing-Zhengzhou-Wuhan line. (2) The distribution of agritainment is uneven across different spatial scales, and there are high-density clusters in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Sichuan-Chongqing region as the core, and sub-high-density distribution areas in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border, the southern coastal region, and the Xiangan-Jiang-Hubei border, manifesting prominent spatial distribution characteristics of large agglomeration and low dispersion. (3) Agritainment has a significant positive spatial autocorrelation. The Matthew effect is highly significant in space. The distribution of cold hot spots in the agritainment space shows a distribution pattern of "hot in the south and cold in the north." (4) The spatial distribution of agritainment is influenced by human factors such as society, economy, and the tourism industry as well as natural factors such as terrain, water systems, and climate. The intensity of influence of first-level human factors on the spatial distribution of agritainment ranks as follows: tourism industry factors (0.69) > social factors (0.37) > economic factors (0.30). The natural distribution of agritainment tends to be in humid plain and hilly areas with an altitude below 1000 m and annual precipitation above 800 mm. Agritainment is mainly distributed in the subtropical monsoon climate area adjacent to rivers. The research findings offer valuable insights for optimizing the spatial distribution pattern of agritainment in China, promoting the high-quality development of agritainment, and the sustainable development of rural tourism.
