“…First, during the rapid urbanization process in China, the material, resources, and wealth of rural areas have been increasingly concentrated in urban areas, leading to a pattern of polarization between urban and rural areas, which has resulted in the hollowing out of traditional villages [64,65]. Second, in the rapid process of urbanization, a large number of rural laborers have migrated to urban areas, leading to a continuous decline in traditional agriculture and rural areas and a severe shortage in human resources have hindered the inheritance of traditional culture, thereby limiting the development of spatial vitality in traditional villages [66][67][68]. Third, there exists a contradiction between the protection and development of traditional villages.…”

Enhancing spatial quality is an important aspect of future studies on the development of traditional villages. From the perspective of spatial vitality, the degree of revitalization and utilization of traditional villages can be visually reflected and thus, corresponding development strategies can be provided. However, existing studies on traditional villages have paid little attention to the relationship between spatial vitality and development. Therefore, this study evaluates the spatial vitality of traditional villages in Yunnan Province based on Sina Weibo sign-in data, analyzes its relationship with spatial distribution characteristics, and finally, proposes development strategies based on different types of traditional villages. The study results show that first, the Sina Weibo sign-in data can well reflect the spatial vitality of traditional villages. Second, there is a significant difference between the spatial vitality of traditional villages and the spatial distribution characteristics, and we summarize the four types of traditional villages based on this difference. Overall, from the perspective of spatial vitality of traditional villages, this study provides differentiated ideas for the protection, spatial enhancement, and development of traditional villages on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also provides feasible references for rural revitalization planning in Yunnan.

“…Ook hierbij speelt schaal een rol: het is niet alleen een persoonlijk verlies, maar ook een verlies voor het dorp. Voorzieningen hebben symbolische betekenis voor een dorp (Christiaanse & Haartsen, 2017;Haartsen & Gieling, 2021). Een basisschool staat voor een toekomstbestendig dorp, een bushalte voor een bereikbaar dorp.…”

Oratie uitgesproken door prof.dr. Tialda Haartsen op 22 april 2022 bij de aanvaarding van het ambt van hoogleraar Rurale Geografie aan de Faculteit Ruimtelijke Wetenschappen Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. In haar inaugurele rede gaat Haartsen in op hoe beleid beter kan worden afgestemd op de behoeften en realiteiten van het platteland. Het Europese platteland maakt zich op voor een groot aantal ontwikkelingen, zoals de energietransitie, transities in de landbouw, klimaatverandering, toenemende ruimtelijke ongelijkheid, de geopolitieke en economische gevolgen van de oorlog in Oekraïne, en dit alles in een context van een vergrijzende en afnemende bevolking. Deze transities zullen de hedendaagse verhoudingen tussen globaal en lokaal, tussen centrum en periferie en tussen stad en platteland behoorlijk op de kop gaan zetten. Met alle gevolgen van dien voor de ruimtelijke inrichting van het platteland.

“…These social comparisons on accessibility indicate that access to opportunities may well be a positional good (Van Wee, 2021). The positionality of accessibility could explain why the loss of a local facility evokes feelings of peripherality relative to places with more opportunities, with significant effects on how accessibility is perceived, even when the functional role of that facility was limited (Christiaanse and Haartsen, 2017;Haartsen and Gieling, 2021).…”

“…Therefore, a question is included asking whether people felt that the region has received less attention from the government than other regions ("the region where I live is left behind by the government"). Linked to this, the closure of facilities in rural areas is often met with negative reactions, as it can symbolize loss of identity, status and vitality of the village (Christiaanse and Haartsen, 2017;Haartsen and Gieling, 2021). To control for these effects, a retrospective question whether a respondent experienced a decline in important facilities is included ("important facilities have diminished recently").…”

Contents 1 rural areas Table D6Sensitivity analysis of perceived accessibility determinants in rural areas using different distance decay parameters 22Chapter 1 lockdown when directed mobility was severely restricted and offset by undirected travel (Hook et al., 2021;Mokhtarian and Chen, 2004;Roth and Zahavi, 1981;Schafer and Victor, 2000). For most of human history, activities generally took place locally as everyday mobility was based on human and animal power (Pooley, 2020). From the 19th century onwards, and especially in the second half of the 20th century, a different picture emerged. Improvements in transport technologies, the massive enlargement of infrastructure and falling transport costs, not least due to cheap oil, have dramatically expanded people's travel horizons (Grübler, 2004;Kent, 2014;Metz, 2013). Unprecedented levels of personal mobility have fostered the upscaling of economic activity, with economies of scale increasingly outweighing transport costs (Fujita et al., 1999;Krugman, 1991;Vickerman et al., 1999). The increase in potential mobility has fostered suburbanization and the decentralization of economic activity within cities. This has led to the growth of employment outside urban cores but near transport infrastructure, particularly motorways (McMillen and Stefani, 2003). The more recent structural shift in developed countries towards a knowledge-based service economy has also encouraged high-density urban development fuelled by agglomeration benefits from co-location (Puga, 2010).These two trends together, of upscaling and of (sub)urban growth, have led to small local facilities in rural areas closing in favour of larger venues in more central locations at greater distances (
