“…Amjad mentioned that "the aim of rural industrialisation has been to promote the production of commodities based on agricultural output" [27], showing the significance of rural industrialisation on poverty reduction, economic growth, and better living conditions towards sustainability [28]. Many scholars analysed the relationship between rural industrialisation and floating populations, job opportunities, and economic increases using statistical data and questionnaires [27][28][29], indicating the urban-rural socio-economic linkage and the flow of factors in the urbanisation process [30]. Scholars discussed the relationship between rural industrialization and rural enterprises, focusing on employment opportunities and financial support for farmers in China [31,32].…”

Rural industrialisation in China, which has historically been restricted by urban–rural dual development policies, has been largely encouraged since the Rural Revitalisation Strategy released in 2018. Industrialisation has deeply influenced socio-spatial evolution by providing job opportunities and promoting the construction of infrastructure and public services, accelerating the two-way flow of urban–rural factors in rural areas. However, this may lead to social and spatial issues, such as social inequalities and unsuitable living conditions, to some extent. This research aims to investigate how the socio-spatial evolution of rural areas was influenced by rural industrialisation and the two-way flow of urban–rural factors. The cherry planting industry and an active “industrial centre”, Yuezhuang Village, in Linqu County, Shandong Province, China, were selected for the empirical study. This research analysed the evolution of the cherry planting industry, the formulation of rural social networks, and the spatial adaptation of the two using mixed qualitative and quantitative methods, followed by a discussion on the current rural planning policies in China. The results show that the cherry industrial chain largely extended the planting areas, and the categories of land use generally increased in Yuezhuang Village over the 30 years studied. The average output value per mu (mu is unit of area measurement used in China, where it is officially standardised. It corresponds to 1/15 of a hectare, or about 666.67 m2). In 2021 was 25 times larger than that in 1996. The population involved in industrial activities increased to over 5000 people countrywide from the initial 17 households. The results also show that urban–rural factors, such as capital, population, techniques, and information, rapidly accelerated in the annual peak season of the cherry industry. This research indicates that small-scale, characteristic, and traditional agriculture could become one of the main driving forces in urban–rural integration and may contribute to sustainable and inclusive rural communities and urban–rural partnerships. This provides the theoretical mechanism of socio-spatial interaction in rural industrialisation in China based on the empirical case study.

“…The sustainability of rural industries can promote autonomy in post-pandemic conditions, thus supporting sustainable employment and livelihoods [16], an improved environment, better life qualities and good human values [17]. Therefore, strategies to strengthen rural industrialization and proposals to address deteriorating conditions in urban areas are needed [18].…”

The lack of eco-industrial development in rural areas demonstrates how isolated these people are from outside networks and resources. The ecological industrial management of clove leaf essential oil run by rural communities within the network is further revealed and analyzed in this study using the social network analysis approach. The findings of this study show how networks are crucial to understanding interactions between subgroups, density, and centralization. This study also implies that strengthening internal social networks inside rural communities, particularly subgroup interactions, must go hand in hand with initiatives to broaden external social networks. While preserving the sustainability of rural ecosystems, strengthening the social networks of rural eco-industries will also create new employment opportunities.
