Analysis of Rural Revitalization Paths Based on the Multi-functional Evaluation: A Case Study of 101 Towns in Liaocheng, China

Abstract

Abstract. The objective assessment of rural multi-functionality is the key to formulating rural development strategies. This paper constructs a rural multi-functional evaluation index system to evaluate the multi-functional values of production, life and ecology of 101 towns in Liaocheng City, Shandong Province. Based on survey data, multi-source spatial data and statistical data, draw a radar map of the multi-functional development model of the town. The results show that: (1) There are significant differences in the multi-functional development of 101 towns in Liaocheng. According to the average value, the order is ecological function (0.3755)>life function (0.2418)>production function (0.1556). Rural areas generally lag behind in terms of production function. (2) Ecological high-value areas are relatively evenly distributed in all districts and counties. High-value production areas are mainly located around Dongchangfu District. High-value areas for living functions are mainly located around the central urban areas of Dong'e County, Chiping District and Dongchangfu District. (3) It can be divided into three types: balanced, compound and dominant. Among the subdivision models, there is still no high-equilibrium model with a higher degree of development. Low-equilibrium and traditional townships account for 52% of the total evaluation objects. According to the evaluation and classification results, the article analyzes the influence of central city radiation effect, economic foundation, cultural atmosphere, etc. on rural multi-functionality. Combining the practice of agricultural land reform and rural asset activation, the article discusses the multi-functional development path of different types of rural development, which provides scientific advice for promoting rural transformation and development and promoting rural revitalization.
