The mechanism of urban-rural integrated development based on the “population-land-capital” factor flow: A case study of Jiangxi Province by YANG Jie, GE Dazhuan, SUN Pan, YUAN Ziyi

“…[Results] (1) The overall urban-rural integrated development level in Jiangxi Province exhibited an upward trend from 2000 to 2020, transitioning from relying on urban-rural ecological space development to achieving balance in economy, society, and ecology. (2) The urban-rural integrated development level in Jiangxi Province displayed significant geographical differences, with the economic integration level in northern Jiangxi surpassing central Jiangxi and southern Jiangxi; the social integration level in northern Jiangxi exceeding southern Jiangxi and central Jiangxi; and the ecological integration level in southern Jiangxi surpassing central Jiangxi and northern Jiangxi. (3) The flow of population factor, land factor, and capital factor all exhibited significant positive effects on urban-rural integrated development in Jiangxi Province, with population factor flow having the greatest driving effect. (4) Urban-rural factor flow can continuously optimize the urban-rural relationship, generating diffusion effects and spatial spillover effects, fostering the ongoing reconstruction and integration of urban and rural spaces in Jiangxi Province. …”
