Research on the Spatial Pattern and Influence Mechanism of Industrial Transformation and Development of Traditional Villages

Abstract

Industrial transformation has been regarded as an important measure to promote traditional village revitalization. Research on the spatial pattern and influence mechanism of industrial transformation in traditional villages is urgently needed. In this context, this study takes the 211 national traditional villages in Fujian Province of China as research objects and uses GIS spatial analysis and geographical detectors to analyze the spatial pattern and influence mechanism of industrial transformation in traditional villages. The results show that: (1) the scale of traditional village industry presents the characteristics of wavy growth. High- and medium-density cluster areas were identified. (2) Traditional villages can be categorized into three types, not transformed, to be transformed and transformed villages. These three stages of transformation have different features of industry development and different dominant industries. (3) The core factors affecting the industrial transformation of traditional villages show obvious differences at different transformation stages and spatial differences in coastal and inland areas. Therefore, policies and measures should be customized to local conditions to improve the development quality of traditional villages and promote the industrial transformation and upgrading of traditional villages. This study improves the research on the transformation and development mechanism of traditional village industry from the perspective of industrial revitalization in theory and provides experience and models as reference for the revitalization of traditional village industry in practice.

A Study of Spatio-Temporal Differentiation Characteristics and Driving Factors of Shaanxi Province’s Traditional Heritage Villages

“…This suggests that water was a major factor of concern for the ancients in selecting village sites. These findings are in agreement with previous studies by Lin [36] and Fu [37]. Finally, slope also has a degree of influence on the spatio-temporal differentiation of traditional villages [5,23], and the results show that most of the traditional village sites are located in the relatively flatter areas in the plateau mountains.…”

“…In Shaanxi, traditional villages will be protected in four aspects, including a protection system, planning, strengthening the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage, and improving infrastructure and cultivating characteristic industries to ensure a reasonable and scientific inheritance protection [4,33]. Meanwhile, it should be combined with the rural revitalization strategy, focusing on digital protection, connotative excavation, and deep application development of traditional architecture and cultural heritage, while balancing historical and cultural preservation with industrial development and following the development ideas of protection, innovation, perseverance, and integration [31,32,36]. Under the premise of achieving digital protection of all elements of traditional village heritage, leapfrogging development must be achieved while implementing all-round protection in conjunction with rural revitalization and construction of historical and cultural cities [37][38][39][40].…”

Analysis of the coupled development and driving factors of regional ethnic traditional kinesiology and rural revitalization

“…Promote the innovative development and creative transformation of China's excellent traditional sports culture, strengthening the integration of national sports projects, festivals, and cultural relics in rural areas, and carrying out national cultural activities that meet modern needs are the critical strategic directions to realize the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside [1][2]. However, the uneven development of urban and rural areas, the uncoordinated development of the rural economy, and the insufficient utilization of rural resources are still the real shackles that hinder the growth of traditional sports in the new era [3][4].…”

Research on Industry Transformation Models and Influencing Factors of Hot Spring Villages from the Perspective of Sustainable Development: A Case Study of Fujian, China

“…This study selects typical hot spring villages in Fujian Province as the research object and constructs an evaluation index system for rural industry development by hot-spring-enterprise-related data. The construction of industry development indexes has been widely applied in previous studies, such as the development of rural hot spring resources [40] and the transformation of traditional village industries [41]. The purpose of this study is to explore the process and models of hot spring industry transformation, and reveals the influencing mechanisms that lead to the transformation.…”
