Traditional villages, which embody Chinese cultural heritage and evoke nostalgic memories, act as living archives of agrarian civilization. Using Huangdu Village in western Hunan as a case study and considering the contexts of ecological civilization construction and rural revitalization strategies, the article outlines a practical approach for implementing environmental education initiatives in Huangdu Village through a spatial narrative lens. The study shows that: 1) Based on spatial narrative and construction learning theories, traditional village environmental education can be divided into three progressive spatial dimensions: physical reality space, coded perception space, and conceptual consciousness space. 2) Taking the theory of spatial narrative as the theoretical foundation, with the goal of excavating the cultural value behind the traditional village space and optimizing the spatial narrative system of environmental education in traditional villages, and taking narrative elements as the foundation, narrative space as the node, narrative vein as the guideline, and narrative experience as the core, the spatial narrative practice path of environmental education in Huangdu Village is constructed from the three dimensions of elemental mending, situation construction and infiltration atmosphere.

Green finance plays a pivotal role in mobilizing social capital to drive the green development of rural areas, while the strategy for revitalizing rural areas serves as a platform for the growth of green finance. Both concepts complement each other and hold great potential for integrated development. This research utilized social and economic statistics from the Yellow River Basin from 2000 to 2022, employing a comprehensive evaluation method to measure green finance across five dimensions, and to evaluate rural development based on five revitalization goals. Through time series and spatial analysis, the spatiotemporal characteristics of both were elucidated, and the bivariate Moran's I was used to explore their spatial interaction, followed by the application of a coupling coordination degree model to assess their level of coordinated development. The findings indicated: 1) Over the study period, the average development level of green finance in the Yellow River Basin rose from 0.185 to 0.395, and the average rural development level increased from 0.314 to 0.547. 2) A positive spatial interaction was observed between the level of green finance and rural development. 3) The degree of coordinated development between the two has been continuously strengthening, and can be roughly divided into three stages: 2000—2005, 2006—2012, and 2013—2022.

Rural migrant women, as marginalized and vulnerable groups in urban society, are of great importance in research on mental health and social support mechanisms, which are crucial for achieving the goals of a Healthy China. This study, based on the current state of mental health and social support among rural migrant women, employs multiple linear regression models and mediation effect tests to examine the mechanisms through which social support influences their mental health. The results reveal the following: First, significant disparities exist in mental health levels among rural migrant women with different socioeconomic attributes. Groups exhibiting higher mental health levels include older generations, married individuals, those with lower educational attainment, longer durations of residence, employment in the service or commercial sectors, and individuals who own homes. Second, informal social networks (including family members, friends, and neighbors) serve as the primary source of support for rural migrant women, while formal social networks (including the government, community, and social organizations) provide only limited support. Third, different types of social support exhibit varying impacts on mental health. Emotional support from family members, friends, and neighbors significantly enhances mental health. Fourth, the mediating effects of social support vary across different sources and types. Social companionship support from family members positively mediates mental health outcomes.

Returning migrant workers play a crucial role in the sustainable development of rural human resources through their decisions to return and their subsequent living conditions in rural tourism destinations. Based on in-depth interviews with 21 returning migrant workers in the rural tourism destinations of Miaoshan Village and Shuikou Village in Huzhou City, this study employs the grounded theory method and utilizes the qualitative analysis software Nvivo12 to analyze the interview data, constructing a theoretical model of the well-being formation mechanism for returning migrant workers in rural tourism destinations. The study proposes the following conclusions: firstly, it identifies the structural dimensions of the well-being of returning migrant workers in rural tourism destinations. The structure of well-being consists of 8 dimensions and 24 categories, including rational traits, emotional traits, difference perception, environmental perception, individual perception, multifaceted interaction, value affirmation, and behavioral commitment. Secondly, the study constructs a mechanism for the formation of well-being among returning rural tourism practitioners from a process perspective. Thirdly, research has found that rural tourism destination residents have their own evaluation preferences in the process of forming their sense of well-being. The results show that rational traits, emotional traits, difference perception, environment perception, individual perception, multifaceted interaction, value affirmation, and behavioral commitment form a mechanism model in a three-stage, multi-level manner, resulting in the well-being of returning workers.

Under the background of Rural Revitalization, with a substantial inflow of capital into rural areas, the positive interaction between capital and the countryside becomes crucial. This paper introduces the "embedding theory" and constructs an analytical framework to explore the characteristics and mechanisms of capital embedding in rural areas. By examining a typical rural case with general basic conditions in the suburbs of Wuhan, the results show that: 1) For the revitalization of general rural areas, it is necessary to integrate resources and make joint efforts to develop, so as to continuously promote the benign reconstruction of space, economy and society. 2) The embeddedness of capital subjects is manifested in two dimensions: interaction with village authorities and interaction with villagers. 3) There are differences in the embeddedness of enterprises. 4) The key for rural revitalization lies in realizing the core political and cognitive embeddedness of rural elites, firmly grasping the developmental authority relying on land, and ensuring the multidimensional embeddedness of enterprises with conditional access.

Host-guest interaction is the key field of villagers' participation in rural tourism, an unavoidable social interaction phenomenon for sustainable rural tourism development, and a microcosm of social and cultural collision between urban and rural areas. Yet it is not clear that residents' power states and potentials performance in interactions. To extend knowledge in this field, this study conducted online travelogue search, unstructured interviews, and participant observations. Based on field theory and social exchange theory, a theoretical model was developed to analyze the detailed process and internal logic of villagers' power generation in host-tourist interactions in rural tourism. This study found that there existed three types of host-tourist interactions: commodity services, daily life and emotional knowledge. In different types of interactions, motivation, inherent resource exchange, capital gain and emotional energy present significant characteristics, which leads to horizontal differences and vertical hierarchy of villagers' power performance. A power hierarchy diagram was then constructed through a systematic analysis of host-tourist interactions, which supported for the scientific nature of villagers' power potential stimulation. This paper points out that the possession of resources is the kernel of the existence of villagers' potential. The starting point of village empowerment work should be the identification of villagers' own resources and the exploration of their potentials. These findings have theoretical and practical implications for stimulating villagers' potential, realizing effective empowerment and formulating sustainable tourism development strategies.

Adaptability research is the scientific basis to deal with the impact of uncertainties and realize the sustainable development of tourism. This paper constructs a new adaptive analysis framework, combines the theory of sustainable livelihood and BP neural network method, and conducts a systematic adaptive study of Guzhu Village. The results are obtained as follows: 1) After the outbreak of Covid-19, rural tourism operators showed a significant trend of part-time employment, which mainly divided into four adaptation types: tourism promotion type, e-commerce type, worker-oriented type and subsistence type. 2) Household saving, place of domicile, human capital, homestead area and other factors are key factors affecting the adaptation outcomes of operators. 3) Exogenous factors such as Covid-19 epidemic and policy governance, as well as endogenous factors such as local characteristics, rational choice of tourism operators and scale interaction, are the main mechanisms of adaptation and evolution in Guzhu Village. Finally, the paper discusses corresponding policy suggestions based on the adaptative evolutionary path of different tourism operators.

Effective governance is an important basis for the realization of the national rural revitalization strategy, and the institution is the basic element affecting the protection and governance of traditional villages. Using historical data collection, field investigation, in-depth interview and other research methods, based on the perspective of institutional change theory, this paper discusses the internal relationship between institutional change and governance change of traditional villages, and analyzes the evolution characteristics and spatial governance effects of "institutional change-governance change" stage of traditional villages. The results show that: 1) The protection practice of traditional villages in Suzhou has experienced a stage of institutional change characterized by "unidirectional conduction—bidirectional parallel—bidirectional mutual feeding", and evolved in turn according to the governance logic of "unidirectional autonomy—dual cogovernance—multiple co-governance". 2)Under the action path of "institutional change-governance change", the spatial governance of traditional villages in Suzhou is advanced according to the logical value of "spatial resource protection—spatial environment remediation—spatial function renewal". 3) We should focus on promoting the bilateral integration of formal and informal institutions, the transformation of flexible cogovernance model and the institutional innovation of multi-subject collaborative governance, so as to realize the great governance of traditional villages under the strategic goal of rural revitalization.

In the context of a new era of urban-rural relations, promoting the systematic restructuring of rural space to achieve the reasonable flow of urban and rural elements and the diversified transformation and development of rural areas is the necessary path to promote urban-rural integration and rural revitalization. Based on the perspective of complex adaptive system theory, this paper takes the village of Yeshan Island in Jinting Town of Suzhou City, as a sample, and constructs a research framework from the adaptive behavior of micro subjects to the deconstruction of macro system blocks, to analyze in depth the characteristics of rural spatial evolution and the influence mechanism in the process of urbanization. It has been shown through research that: 1) Yeshan Island has gone through a complex evolutionary process of initial change, drastic change, wandering and turning step. 2) The rural spatial system of Yeshan Island can be deconstructed into four subsystems, including spatial development, government planning, industrial economy, and rural society. 3) The reconstruction of rural space in the new period should shift from a single spatial theory to a complex system theory, and explore scientific and effective rural reconstruction strategies by utilizing the structure, marking, and pattern mechanisms in the rural spatial system

"Home" serves as a spatial representation of the most profound sense of place. Previous research has often portrayed villagers' home from a passive standpoint, concentrating on aspects such as mobility and reconstruction. This paper, in contrast, underscores the potential of Chinese villagers to transcend conventional perceptions. It delves into their journey of establishing enduring connections within their communities, constructing their living space of home, and materializing local values through deliberate home-making practices. Based on the case of XZ Village, this study discovers villagers' perceptions of home, their ability in home-making, and their "traditional-modern" practices, all underpinned from the analysis perspective of economic and social capital. We find that: 1) The core essence of home emotion rests within the foundational consensus of local villagers. The traditional concept of home signifies the preservation of communication patterns and spatial arrangements within the clan-based society. 2) Local villagers are endowed with social capital encompassing relationships and trust, alongside economic capital comprising collective property rights and money. 3) The intricate interplay between traditional and modern home sentiments propels villagers to navigate the external dynamics and effect internal capital inter-transformation, which culminates in the creation of their distinctive home space.

As the key to rural revitalization lies in people, investing the multi-dimensional characteristics and mechanism of rural labor reflow would be of great theoretical and practical significance for reshaping rural subjects and promoting rural revitalization. Based on the survey data of 390 administrative villages (communities) and 5180 sampling questionnaires on rural labor force in Fengjie county, Chongqing, this paper investigates the multi-dimensional characteristics of rural labor reflow, using a binary logistic regression model, geo-detector model identifies the internal and external factors for labor reflow at the individual and village levels, and explores its mechanism. The research results indicated that: 1）Rural migrant workers demonstrated significantly differentiated characteristics in gender, age, marital status and family support, etc. 2）The level of labor reflow to villages was low overall, relatively high in the central and southern parts of the county, and relatively low in the northern and south central parts; higher level of reflow was associated with lower degree of spatial agglomeration. 3）Rural labor reflow behavior in the researched area is an outcome of combined effects of the intrinsic factors at the individual level and the exogenous factors at the village level.

The article takes 1908 rural maker-spaces in China as the research object, sorts out the types of rural maker-space from the perspective of niche ecostate-ecorole, and uses methods such as nearest neighbor index, Voronoi map analysis, kernel density estimation, and geographic detectors to reveal the spatial differentiation patterns and influencing factors of rural maker-space in China. The results indicate that:1) Based on the perspective of niche ecostate-ecorole, the rural maker-space can be divided into six types: agriculturerelated enterprise resource sharing, industrial park service supply, university and institute achievement transformation, professional incubator incubation, entrepreneurial platform activity aggregation, and village open cooperation and mutual assistance.2) The overall spatial distribution of rural maker-space in China presents a clustering pattern, specifically manifested as the high-density distribution of rural maker-space in the coastal areas north of the Yangtze River, gradually decreasing from the coastal area to the inland, with the characteristics of being dense in the east and sparse in the west, and more in the north and less in the south. 3) The spatial distribution of rural maker-space in China is influenced to varying degrees by factors such as informatization foundation, social capital, government support, regional openness, rural resource endowment, rural economic development, and technological support.

China's revitalization and protection of traditional village cultural heritage have ushered in a critical period. On the basis of summarising the characteristics of current village heritage protection and revitalization, this paper uses non-participatory observation, in-depth interviews, life stories and other research methods in the context of urban-rural integration to study the value reclaiming and cultural adaptation of traditional village residents in the practice of cultural heritage conservation and revitalization. The conclusions are as follows: 1) In the context of urban-rural integration, the protection and revitalization of traditional village cultural heritage is the result of the infusion of urban elements and the integration of multiple groups. 2) The combination of macro and micro factors makes traditional village residents regain the value of cultural heritage. 3) The cultural adaptation of village residents is not only a process of being influenced by the social and cultural environment and constructing its own meaning, but also a dynamic and complex process involving pre-transformation, adaptation stage and post-transformation.

The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, defining the countryside as "a regional complex with natural, social and economic characteristics, with multiple functions of production, living, ecology and culture", which reflected the diversified rural value. Rural value is the meaning given to rural objects by human subjects according to their needs, and reflects the most essential attributes that distinguish rural areas from cities. In the process of urbanization, the cognition of rural value is constantly changing due to the changes in the external environment of urban-rural relationship and the needs of the cognitive subjects. In the context of new urbanization, it is necessary to comprehensively re-examine rural values, carry out rural value re-cognition, and guide rural villages to choose appropriate policies and carry out healthy and effective construction practices. Based on the original and dynamic attributes of rural value, the research re-examines people's cognition of the characteristics, connotation and key points of rural value in the process of urbanization. Aiming at the characteristics of the new urbanization period, a re-cognition framework of rural value with the entire area and all elements, and the spatial level of "rural region-village-rural settlements" and the value type of "production-ecology-life-society-culture-space" are clarified. It is proposed that the rural value cognition under the background of new urbanization needs to form the vertical connection relationship of three types of spatial levels and clarify the horizontal relationship of the six value types. Based on the re-cognition of rural values, rural development suggestions are put forward, in order to realize the full-scale activation of rural values and the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas.

Digital rural construction strategy has become a key part of rural revitalization of China which has been reconstructing the urban-rural relationship and changing rural residents' lifelong, leading to a new trend of individualization. "Individualization", as an important concept to understand the transformation of social structure, has been used by scholars to study the transformation of urban-rural relationship in China since the reform and opening up in recent years. Based on the individualization theory, taking Guifeng Village in Guangzhou as a case, we used life history interview, field observation, semi-structured interview to analyze how digital technology promotes the transformation of individualization process and its effects on rural spatial reconstruction. The results show that: 1) The development of digital technology provides opportunities for the transformation of the individualization, which no longer follows the city-oriented modernization, but tends to the digital-core modernization; 2) The individualization impacted by digital technology promotes the reconstruction of rural physical and social space as well as the urban-rural relationship. The research not only provides a new insight for digital rural studies from a bottom-up perspective, but also widens the research field of individualization theory. On the practical level, the article helps to provide valuable enlightenment for digital rural development and urban-rural integration.

This study aims to explore the constituent elements and combination paths of rural tourism attractiveness from the perspective of rurality, using the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis method to analyze the condition grouping of 26 rural tourism sites in Hainan Province, and to explore the composition paths, internal logic and potential substitution relationships among elements of rural tourism attractiveness in the context of case realities. The main conclusions are as follows: First, the study proposes a framework for analyzing the composition paths of rural tourism attractiveness based on five rurality attraction elements (i. e., relaxation element, authenticity element, novelty element, escapism element, and modernity element) and 18 rurality element indicators. Second, single rurality attraction element cannot constitute sufficient necessary conditions for rural tourism attractiveness. For the composition of rural tourism attractiveness, this study comes up with three combination paths. Third, as the potential substitution relationships among the three groups of rural attraction elements, the combination of relaxation and authenticity elements, novelty and escapism elements can be substituted with modernity element. Fourth, in the composition path of rural tourism attractiveness, the original coverage of scenic resort and leisure type and beautiful rural endowment type is higher than B&B catering dependence type, demonstrating that the rural tourism mostly adopts the above two paths to constitute tourism attractiveness.

Based on the spatial production theory, this study adopts the executive analysis method to study the urbanization process of the core area of Dingxi national agricultural science and technology park in Gansu province, finds that: 1) Under the guidance of national policies, the space of the core area has experienced the transformation process of "rurality-semi-urbanization-urbanization". 2) The urbanization of the park is the result of spatial practice and spatial governance under the leadership of the government. The discourse power generated by the spatial identification of "National Agricultural Science and Technology Park" drives the inflow of production factors such as capital, technology, information, and pushes the rural area where it is located to constantly become "urbanized", showing the "mixed mechanism" effect of "plan + market" under the guidance of Chinese policies. 3) The internal mechanism of park urbanization lies in the power effect generated by the spatial discourse constructed in the process of space production. The research has important significance and research value for understanding the reconstruction of Chinese social space.

Based on the land use data and socioeconomic statistics data of Southeast Fujian in 2000, 2010 and 2020, this paper respectively constructed the evaluation index systems of rural development level and transformation level, analyzed the spatial-temporal pattern evolution characteristics of rural development and transformation in each county of the study area from 2000 to 2020, and classified the types of rural development and transformation. The results showed that:1) During the last 20 years, the development level of rural areas in Southeast Fujian increased rapidly, with the mean value rising from 0.1865 to 0.5058, increased by 1.7 times. 2) The spatial pattern of rural development level in the study area showed an evolutionary feature of "dispersion-centralization-dispersion". 3) Based on the evaluation results of rural development and transformation and their characteristics of spatial and temporal evolution, the study area was divided into 3 major type areas and 9 subtype areas.

A multi-cultural perspective is an important channel to understand the development of rural tourism, and cultural comparison has also become an universal way of thinking in tourism studies. This paper takes Beigou Village, Bohai Town, Huairou District, Beijing as an example to discuss the reconstruction effect of tourism on rural space under the influence of diverse subjects, and to re-examines the internal relationship between rural tourism and multi-culturalism. The paper found that the development of tourism in Beigou Village is influenced by the joint efforts of internal and external elites based on different cultures. The return of local elites with different cultural attributes has become an important turning point in the development of rural tourism, and these entities with different cultural characteristics have promoted the transformation of rural industrial status, spatial organization, and lifestyles. The integration and negotiation between local cultures and exterior (foreign in particular) social cultures have further promoted innovation in the tourism industry, forming a tourism space with the characteristics of combining Chinese and Western cultures. In the context of multicultural communication, subjects with different cultural backgrounds constantly practices and achieves multicultural integration in their everyday life, gradually breaking away from the cultural isolation between "us" and "other". Through the empirical case study, this paper aims to provide strategic references for optimizing the organizational form of rural tourism, realizing the rational rural resources allocation, and coordinating human-nature relationship under the multi-culturalism background.

After the new century, with the reconstruction of the global economic system and the new transformation of the relationship between urban and rural areas, globalization has accelerated the compression of time and space, and the uneven development of geographical space has led to the rapid flow of population, resources, capital and information. These new spatial changes have influenced villages in the south of the world, including China, and the spatial form has become more dynamic and complex. In 2017, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the "strategy and practice of Rural Revitalization"for the first time, and Rural Revitalization has become an important key point of national governance. All kinds of rural space practice projects are increasing day by day and are in full swing. The development and changes of these rural spaces are connected with the reorganization of the global spatial structure, showing a multi-scale pattern. Human beings and nonhuman and other heterogeneous elements are intertwined, which makes the rural space no longer mean and static, but shows the relationship and process of overlapping and flowing. Therefore, how to master the complex and diverse society-material patterns, conditions and mechanisms of spatial operation, power relations and multi-scale dynamic trends in rural areas? A new interpretation framework is needed. Taking this as an opportunity, this paper puts forward a new theoretical orientation: Rural socio-material assemblages, as a theoretical tool to explain the complex multi-experience phenomenon in contemporary rural areas. Firstly, this paper sorts out the theoretical context of rural research, and provides theoretical foundation for rural socio-material assemblages. Secondly, this paper analyzes what is the rural social-material assemblages? Finally, starting with the transformation and development of rural space in China, this paper attempts to analyze the applicability of the rural social-material assemblages theory and the possibility of theoretical localization.

Taking Chongdu village as an example, this paper used the qualitative research method of in-depth interviews and the theoretical analysis framework of actor network to analyze the agglomeration evolution process and mechanism of TSVs in Chongdu village. The findings revealed that: 1) The agglomeration process of Chongdu TSVs can be divided into three stages: Agglomeration core development stage, point-axis development stage and network development stage. 2) In the agglomeration core development stage of Chongdu TSVs, the participants constituted the main actors in the actor network, and the comprehensive governance of the rural environment is realized through administrative recruitment and other methods. 3) In the point-axis agglomeration stage of Chongdu TSVs, the local government, as the key actor, has gradually formed a top-down actor network with power as it's core through recruitment, clarified the spatial function of tourism development, increased the enthusiasm of villagers for independent management, and gradually changed the development mode of Chongdu village. 4) In the network agglomeration stage of Chongdu TSVs, the key actors were gradually transformed from the initial local government to villagers. The Chongdu village gradually found it's own way of development.

Rural revitalization calls for endogenous development in rural areas. It is of great significance to objectively understand the spatial and temporal differentiation pattern and interaction relationship of rural development capacity for the implementation of rural revitalization strategy. Based on prefecture-level cities data in six provinces of the central China, this paper constructs the measurement index system from three dimensions of agricultural industry development, rural infrastructure construction and farmer social life and introduces panel vector autoregressive model, so as to identify sensitive factors affecting rural development capacity and measure multidimensional rural development capability index. Then it uses exploratory spatiotemporal data analysis method to reveal the spatio-temporal interaction characteristics of multidimensional rural development capability. The main conclusions are as follows. Firstly, during the study period, the multidimensional rural development capability in the six provinces of central China had been proved, however, there is obvious spatial heterogeneity and significant differences among different dimensions. Secondly, the multi-dimensional rural development capacity shows strong dynamics in regional spatial pattern and strong spatial dependence overall. Thirdly, the spatio-temporal interaction network of multidimensional rural development capacity in neighboring cities is mainly positive correlation, and local space presents different competitive and cooperative situation.

Based on the "structure-factor" complementary perspective, applying actor-network theory and space production theory, using the methods of semi-structured interview, this paper takes Fenghe airport town in Guangzhou as a typical case to deeply analyze the specific process and logic connotation of rural transformation, and confirms the internal connection between space production mechanism and actor-network operation process. The result indicates that Fenghe airport town builds a network of actors including the government, enterprises, tourists and villagers through the construction of beautiful cultural and tourism village, and transforms the hollow and poor village into modern commercial community. Actually, the rural transformation of Fenghe airport town is essentially a process of space commercialization which "produce" traditional village community into urban consumption space, and the space production dominated by capital, power and consumption culture is unjust, so that it is manifested in complex social effects under the interweaving of multi-actor relationship and discourse construction. Through the theory of space production, this paper analyzes the transformation of rural areas， indicates that the theory of space production "cognition-criticism-Interpretation" and the "pattern-effect-mechanism" analytical paradigm of geography are inherently uniformity.

The Rural Revitalization Strategy is important for building a great modern socialist country and developing village homestay is practically significant for implementing the Rural Revitalization Strategy. Thus, understanding village homestay owners' entrepreneurial motivation and the acquisition can theoretically and practically contribute to sustainable development of rural tourism and furthermore, propel the rural revitalization. The researchers conducted in-depth interviews with 25 civilian hosts in Jiangning district of Jiangsu province and Taishun county of Zhejiang province. The analysis of interview data showed that: 1) The entrepreneurial motivation of homestay owners includes economic motivation, emotional belongs, feelings, wellbeing, which is hierarchical and is consistent with Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory. 2) The acquisition of the host corresponds to the motivation, forming social status, spirituality, social relations, healthy life, learning and economic gains. 3) Different modes of homestay bear different combination modes of motivation and the acquisition. The extensive self-supporting model is comparatively underdeveloped, and most homestay owners start their businesses with economic motivation; The entrepreneurial feeling model is mostly related to the host's own life ideal and personal experience; 4) The different modes of homestay result from the sustainable livelihood cost decision of different groups. 5） There are some special groups among the homestay owners who have become the leaders of Rural Revitalization and the new socialist rural sages. Finally, practical implications on the healthy development of homestay are made according to the combination of motivation and acquisition of homestay owners.

Resilience is the fundamental attribute of the rural system and arises as rural system interacts with shocks and disturbances. In the face of uncertainty and unexpected risks, rural resilience plays an important role in resisting shocks, minimizing the impact, recovering to pre-shock regime while maintaining the stability of rural system. The paper takes Chongqing city as the study area and investigates rural resilience of 120 selected villages of Chongqing. The paper uses the entropy method and collects data from field survey to evaluate rural resilience in terms of economic resilience, social resilience and engineering resilience. The research results show that: 1）Rural resilience of Chongqing is 0.46 which is below the medium level. 2）Villages of higher resilience are mainly located in the north part of Chongqing, however villages of lower resilience are in the southeast parts which are mountainous terrain, ethnic minority settlements and less developed transportation system. 3）Economic resilience is the main restrictive factor to rural resilience of the selected villages in Chongqing because of the insufficient input of production capital, low human capital and low quality of land resources. 4）Comparing to rural state resilience, the response resilience is lower, which is attributed to the low response resilience of rural economic and engineering subsystems. Policy implications are proposed in the end of the paper. What's more, it is also advised to analyze the resilient threshold of rural system in responding to external shocks.

The rural eco-environment governance is an important task for the construction of beautiful countryside even beautiful China. To fundamentally improve the rural eco-environment, the key is to give full play to the main role of farmers and promote their active participation. Based on the perspective of farmers' perception and behavior, this study constructed a theoretical framework for farmers' participation in eco-environmental governance, and employed structural equation modeling method to conduct an empirical test on the survey data of farming households. The results show that famers' behaviors follow the path pattern of cognition-perception-response. The cognition of eco-environment governance has a significant positive effect on the response of the eco-environment governance. The perception of eco-environment governance is an intermediary variable that the cognition of eco-environment governance positively drives the response of the eco-environment governance. Environmental social capital, environmental impact sensitivity, and farmers' behavior consciousness are the main factors restricting the eco-environment governance cognition, the eco-environment governance perception, and the eco-environment response, respectively. The government has played a leading role in the eco-environment governance. The environment social capital such as social supervision and social organization involving multi-agent participation needs to be constructed. The multiagent participation model and institutional mechanism centered on farmers need to be established.

Based on the employment and related statistical yearbook data of all registered impoverished labor force transfers in Yongshan County from 2016 to 2019, using spatial autocorrelation analysis, geo-detector model and other methods, this paper explored the spatial and temporal pattern of impoverished labor transfer employment from the quantitative and quality level, and identified the influencing factors of the spatial differentiation of number of labor transfers. The research results indicated that: 1）Compared with 2016, the quantity of transfers of the impoverished labor force in Yongshan County increased by 61.45% in 2019. 2） In 2016, the areas with high and relatively high values of the impoverished labor transfer quality index were mainly distributed in the Yangtze River Delta, Chengdu- Chongqing urban agglomeration, and Pearl River Delta. 3） The transfer of impoverished labor force was mainly affected by three aspects of the expected income level, industrial structure characteristics and living consumption cost. The level of public service facilities had a weak impact on it, while the im pact of resource and environmental conditions and transportation space location on the transfer was not obvious.

Chinese traditional villages endows thousands years of farming civilization, which are the historical testimony of ancestors being in harmony with nature. And taking external natural, humanistic factors, traditional village landscape and building structure as the entry point, the article developes a spatial system risk system to assess traditional villages in mountain area, and the spatial system risk of 110 traditional villages in Chongqing is analyzed with the help of order improvement, geographic detectors and other methods, and targeted protection suggestions are put forward. The research shows that: 1) The traditional villages spatial system risk evaluation index system constructed can comprehensively assess the external pressure and internal vulnerability of the mountain traditional villages. Spatial system, and its spatial distribution differences are expressed. 2) There are 42 traditional villages with a high or above level risk in Chongqing, accounting for more than one-third of the total number of traditional villages, which are mainly located in the Wuling mountain region of the southeast Chongqing, such as Youyang and Xiushan county. 3) For traditional villages in high and above level risk, the capabilities to resist the risk should be improved, and the development of the traditional village should be planned rationally to avoid the expansion of the urban boundary erodes the space of the traditional village, leading to its decay.

Based on the data of ethnic minority villages in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, this paper analyzed the regional spatial distribution pattern of ethnic minority villages in three groups of villages in the Yangtze River Economic Belt by using GIS technology and spatial statistical methods, and explored the spatial heterogeneity of influencing factors based on the geodetector model. The results show that the spatial pattern of ethnic minority villages in the Yangtze River Economic Belt presents a concentrated distribution pattern, reflecting the overall three-party pattern with southeast Guizhou, west Yunnan and west Hunan as the core and the distribution characteristics of "large concentration and small dispersion". The spatial distribution center of the three groups of ethnic minority characteristic villages moved westward, and the overall distribution trend rotated counterclockwise. The spatial distribution pattern of ethnic minority characteristic villages has evolved from "multiple high- density core areas" to "one core and multiple points" and then to "blossoming everywhere" driven by multiple cores. Finally, some suggestions are put forward to optimize and revitalize the spatial pattern of ethnic minority villages in the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

Rural revitalization is a significant mission for China to fully build a modern socialist country. Only when we settle issues relating to agriculture, rural areas and rural people well can we realize the integrated development of urban and rural areas. Research on rural revitalization strategy should be based on the evolution of urban-rural relations and the situations of element mobility during the urbanization of our country.Therefore, exploring ways of rural development from the perspective of urban-rural integration is the basic direction for the realization of rural revitalization. In the current important period of promoting rural revitalization and realizing rural modernization, a deep exploration of the relationship between urban-rural integration development and rural revitalization will help to work out the path of rural revitalization more accurately. Based on the regional system theory of man-land relationship, the thought of material transformation between man and nature and the thought of urban-rural integration development, combined with the difficulties faced by the practice of rural revitalization in Shanxi, this paper explores the micro path of rural revitalization. The results show that urban-rural integration development is an important driving factor for the coordination and sustainability of man land relationship in urban-rural regional system. Exploring the specific path of urban-rural integration development in terms of the system and various elements from the aspects of talent, culture, organization, industry and ecology, and adjusting the man-land relationship of rural system to adapt to the process of economic and social development can provide theoretical reference for the implementation of the Rural Revitalization Strategy.

Based on the connotation of living state this article aims to build an index system of the living state of traditional villages according to population system, material heritage system and intangible heritage system. Traditional villages have gradually formed differentiated leading industries under different development paths. On this basis, traditional villages are divided into four types:Tourism development type, traditional skill type, comprehensive development type and life service type. Data were obtained through interview questionnaire, field survey, literature review and other methods to measure the living state of four traditional villages in Yongzhou city, Hunan Province which belong to the above four types. The results show that:1) From the Activity index level, the phenomenon of inactivation is common in various traditional villages, but there are differences in the degree of inactivation. Among them, the degree of inactivation from tourism development type is relatively light. 2) The living state of population in different types of villages is obviously different. Tourism development type, has the best living state in terms of population and the population hollowing out problem is most serious in life service village. 3) Compared with the population situation of traditional villages and the living state of intangible heritage, the degree of inactivation of intangible heritage of different types of traditional villages is generally lighter. 4) The inactivation of intangible heritage in different types of traditional villages is significant, while the villages from comprehensive development type and life service type are at a serious inactivation level.

This paper focuses on the coexistence of "labor force outflow" and "hometown return", and constructs a theoretical analysis framework of "Labor force mobility-Sense of place-Habitat improvement behavior", using the data from the 913 micro research using ordered Probit model analyzes the labor flow influence on farmers participating in the living environment improvement, and further using the Bootstrap method to verify the sense of place in labor mobility affects farmers participate in play a mediating role in the process of human settlement environment improvement. The results show that:First, the outflow of family labor inhibits the behavior of farmers participating in the improvement of human settlements, and the return of family labor promotes the behavior of farmers participating in the improvement of human settlements; after solving the endogenous problems that may exist in the model, the impact is still significant. Second, sense of place plays a significant mediating role in the process of labor mobility affecting farmers' participation in human settlements improvement:The outflow of labor force can weaken the sense of place of farmers and inhibit their participation in the improvement of human settlements; the return of labor force can enhance the sense of place of farmers and promote their participation in the improvement of human settlements. Third, considering the spatial factor, the negative effect of labor force outflow on farmers' participation in habitat improvement increases with the increase of distance to work. Based on the above findings, the government should strengthen publicity and education, improve the supervision system, encourage laborers to return to their hometowns, and enhance farmers' sense of place.

The traditional village's physical form is a product of both space and time with its dynamic historical continuity. To address challenges in traditional villages' conservation and development, it is necessary to understand the generation, growth and humanistic meaning of their materials and textures. This research chooses Nongmo, a traditional village in Southwestern China, as the case to unravel the formation logic and evolution process of its material landscape through the lens of the Conzenian approach. Village space, street system, property rights plot and architectural form are the four fundamental layers for analyzing the relationships between Nongmo's material and non-material forms. We find that:1) The relationship between Nongmo's material form and social culture is complexly dialectical. Civil organizations and community governance help to shape its material form. 2) The stability of different morphological elements in Nongmo varies. The street system is the most stable morphological element, the land is relatively stable, and the building form are frequently replaced. 3) The morphological evolution of Nongmo is characterised by its temporal narrative and spatial continuity.

In recent years, with the increase in the gap between urban and rural areas, as well as increasingly prominent rural problems, the study of rural settlements has become a hot topic in Chinese government and academia. Therefore, in order to make up for the above shortcomings, based on the fractal theory and with the aid of the three fractal dimensions of aggregation dimension, spatial correlation dimension and morphological dimension, this paper studies the fractal characteristics of rural settlements in counties, cities and towns of Maoming city which is a rapid urbanization area including the whole landscape and located in the middle level of economic development to explore the spatial law of rural settlements under the background of rapid urbanization. In addition, this study constructs the index system from the aspects of physical geography, population, infrastructure and public service facilities construction and economic development, and uses Pearson correlation analysis method to explore the influencing factors of rural settlement fractal. The results show that:1) Rural settlements present multi-scale and multi fractal characteristics. 2) The spatial form and structure of rural settlements interact with each other. 3) In terms of influencing factors, natural factors dominate the pattern of villages, while the changes of population, facilities and economy caused by urban development are the main controlling, promoting and catalytic factors that affect the fractal of rural settlements.

This paper establishes the monitoring models of rural basic public services and multi-dimensional poverty comprehensive development respectively, combining with time-space exploratory analysis and coupled coordination analysis to comprehensively reveal the spatiotemporal development distribution characteristics and coupling mechanism between basic public services and multidimensional poverty in poverty-stricken villages. The empirical results of 58 administrative villages in the research area from 2015 to 2018 show that:1) Development of rural basic public services in the study area was high in central, north and south sections of the lower non-equilibrium distribution space, the development of the overall differences were narrowing trend; 2)The multi-dimensional poverty situation of the poor villages in the study area showed a pattern of lighter poverty in the central and northern regions and deeper poverty in the southern section. 3) There is a spatial negative correlation between rural basic public services and multi-dimensional poverty, and the coupling relationship between them is good.

Based on a case study of the clusters of rural homestay inns in Mount Danxia, qualitative research methods are adopted to explore the impact of cluster social capital on the growth of rural homestay inn enterprises. The study found that cluster social capital includes two levels, individual and collective, and the growth of rural homestay inn is jointly affected by individual social capital and collective social capital. Individual social capital includes vertical connections, market networks and entrepreneur personal networks, and collective social capital includes community cooperation networks and community public resources. The stock of individual social capital obtained by the rural homestay enterprise depends on the quality of the relationship and the number of relationships. The former is beneficial to reduce costs and increase heterogeneous resources, while the latter can complement the comprehensive foundation of the enterprise; The degree to which the rural homestay enterprise absorbs collective social capital depends on the degree of resource sharing and network closeness, the former determines the stock of collective resources in the cluster, and the latter restricts the degree to which homestay enterprise can absorb and transform collective resources. Individual social capital affects the start-up and survival of rural homestay enterprises, and collective social capital restricts or promotes the sustainable development of rural homestay enterprises. Individual social capital can be transformed into collective social capital, and collective social capital can enhance individual social capital, the interaction of the two together affects the growth of rural homestay enterprises.

Farmers are the most important interest and value subject of rural revitalization, as well as the subject of constructing the rural regional system function-structure and form. Small farmer revitalization is to adapt to economic form, regional structure and function of current rural regional system, urban-rural regional system. Based on the concept of small farmer connotation, we analyzed the symbol of small farmers and rural prosperity coupling relations, the revitalization of a coupling relationship with the development of urban and rural areas. Moreover, we proposed a frame of undertaking researches of small farmer revitalization., First of all, we should make clear about transformation developments, components, function, structure, development patterns as well as farmers living types of urban and rural areas before small farmer revitalization. And then, carry out small farmer revitalization according to different scales of village domain, rural regional system and rural regional. Therefore, we should carry out small farmer revitalization in aspects of structure function of rural regional system, rural social function, and rural ecological environment organization.

Ancient water towns in the south of Yangtze River are the higher combination of social and economic activities in Jiangnan. As the carrier of function, the space is a key link in the protection and development of the ancient towns. The protection and development of ancient towns are of great significance to the survival of traditional culture and the construction of human settlements. As the first water town in China, Zhouzhuang Ancient Town is the "leading sheep" of the ancient water towns in Jiangnan. Its tourism development and protection participants are complex, stage-specific, typical and representative, which provides an excellent empirical case for studying the spatial evolution path of the ancient water town in Jiangnan. From the perspective of actor network theory, taking Zhouzhuang Ancient Town as a typical case, it analyzes the role path of actors in the spatial evolution according to the stage division of tourism development. The study found that changes in the intentions of key actors and the network structure of actors have promoted the spatial reconstruction and evolution of Zhouzhuang Ancient Town. In the phase of tourism development, the government of Zhouzhuang promoted the formation and development of the actor network through administrative recruitment and expert-led recruitment as a key actor. As a result, the commercial space grew along the river street and the cultural experience space was scattered in clusters in the ancient town; in the transformation phase of leisure and vacation, market forces began to play a greater role.

The acceleration of the urbanization process and the rise of urban consumption culture have prompted the countryside to become a space favored and occupied by capital. However, the current domestic and foreign relevant research results of spatio-temporal fix theory tend to theoretical identification, and empirical research is relatively scarce, especially the domestic empirical research focuses on the spatio-temporal fix process of urban space, lacking in- depth discussion of rural space fix process and potential risks. Based on the introduction of spatio-temporal fix theory, this paper discusses the process of spatio and temporal fix of Lianhuachi Village in Beijing, and analyses the potential risks behind it. Research shows: 1) In the aspect of spatio fix, the three-level circulation of capital has become the main means to promote the spatial transformation of Lianhuachi village, alleviating the problem of excessive capital accumulation in the short term, diluting the profit delay time for the long-term capital investment, and providing the driving force for the spatial development of Lianhuachi. 2) In the aspect of temporal fix, in order to eliminate the space barrier and solve the over accumulation crisis, capital seeks new opportunities through the expansion of geographical space without restriction, and transforms, reconstructs and redefines the existing space according to the logic of capital operation, and finally creates a new space order and social relationship to meet the needs of its own proliferation. 3) Space-tempor fix not only promotes the transformation of village space from traditional to modern, but also incubates multiple potential risks, such as the stratification of villagers, the assimilation of space production, the lack of Space justice, and the melting of traditional culture.

Rural tourism in China has become a double-edged sword, alleviating poverty in rural communities on one side and causing spatial injustice on the other side. The latter, however, has not yet been paid the attention it deserves from the academic and political circles. With Polanyi's embeddedness theory as basis, this study analyzes the disembedding path of the residential-to-commercial conversion system and reveals the mechanism that leads to spatial injustice. It also carries out an empirical research on Miao Village in Xijiang via quantitative and qualitative methods such as onsite observations, interviews, and questionnaires. The results indicate the following: the immediate cause of spatial injustice in rural community tourism is the disembeddedness of modern tourism economy; its systematic root is the disembeddedness of the conversion system. At its current stage, rural tourism in China has both the embeddedness of agricultural economy and the disembeddedness of tourism economy and the relevant system-Polanyi's notions of the embedded and disembedded and their systematic distinction are explanatory to the conflict. An effective method to reduce the spatial injustice is to apply anti-disembedding measures to the residential-to-commercial conversion system.
