“…The crucial foundation and requirement for this integrated development is the coordinated progress of urban and rural regions through their interaction and mutual influence. This principle aligns with the concept of the coupling coordination model [46]. Consequently, the degree of urban-rural coupling coordination is utilized to indicate the level of integration between urban and rural areas.…”

Population shrinkage has had a certain negative impact on urban and rural development in many aspects. The impact of population shrinkage on urban–rural integration has become one of the core scientific issues that needs to be addressed in the current research on promoting the goal of common prosperity in China. Northeast China is a typical region in China that is experiencing a decrease in population and economic activity. Investigating the integrated development of urban and rural areas in this region is highly important for revitalizing Northeast China. This research paper focuses on 32 prefecture-level cities in Northeast China and utilizes spatial correlation analysis and the Geographical Weighted Regression model to uncover the evolving spatial patterns and influential factors affecting integrated urban–rural development in the context of population decline. The findings revealed the following: (1) The level of integrated urban–rural development in Northeast China continues to rise despite the shrinking population. During the comprehensive population decline stage, the growth rate of the urban–rural coupling coordination degree surpasses that of the initial stage. The areas with high values of urban–rural coupling coordination degree shift from northeastern Heilongjiang to four sub-provincial cities. The spatial correlation between urban–rural coupling and coordinated development weakens, with the main type being low–low agglomeration. (2) Factors such as economic development level, labor force size, urbanization level, level of openness, urban–rural accessibility, and proportion of built-up areas significantly correlate with urban–rural coupling and coordination. The influence of each factor varies in magnitude and direction across different locations. Labor force size and urban–rural accessibility have the most-significant impact on integrated urban–rural development, with labor force size having a positive effect and urban–rural accessibility having a negative effect. The impact of the economic development level follows a pattern of initial increase and subsequent decrease as the population shrinks. (3) Although population decline does not hinder integrated urban–rural development in Northeast China, it is closely connected to changes in the factors influencing such development. To capitalize on the development opportunities presented by national policies, Northeast China should adopt a model of urban–rural development that promotes rural growth through cities. This entails attracting talented individuals to return, enhancing the flow of urban–rural development elements in both directions, and creating a spatial development pattern characterized by “big city, big agriculture, and big ecosystem”. By doing so, the revitalization of Northeast China can be achieved.

“…The pattern of modern urban development has a certain historical inheritance, and behind its development mechanism lies a certain development mechanism 2 , 3 . Understanding the spatial distribution pattern and characteristics of historical cities over a long period of time is of great significance for us to delve deeper into the process of modern urbanization 4 , 5 . Considering that China has a long urban history and development process, as well as rich historical literature, this also provides us with the possibility to explore the urban development process of over a century 6 , 7 .…”

The historical topographic map preserves rich geographic information and can provide direct assistance for the reconstruction of various geographic elements. Based on the historical data of cities throughout the Qing Dynasty, the land use scale data of cities across the country was obtained using GIS and urban perimeter conversion models. This study combines city information and city circumference records from the historical maps and archives of the late Qing Dynasty to quantitatively reconstruct the use patterns of ancient China’s urban land at a spatial resolution of 1° × 1°. Uncertainty analysis of the reconstruction results was conducted using modern remote sensing image data as the validation data set. The results showed the following. (1) During the late Qing Dynasty, the total area of urban land in the various provinces and regions was 1456.015 km2. The maximum value was 208.691 km2 in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the minimum value was 1.713 km2 in Qinghai, and the average value was 56.001 km2. (2) The results of grid reconstruction show that among the 398 grids with urban land distribution, the maximum value is 64.099 km2/grid, the minimum value is 0.013 km2/grid, and the average value is 3.658 km2/grid. (3) Of all the grids with urban land, the urban land grid to the west of the Hu Line accounts for 12.5% and the east to 87.5%. (4) During the late Qing Dynasty, urban land use in China was primarily concentrated in agriculturally developed areas such as the North China Plain, the Central Plains, Jiangnan, and the Sichuan-Chongqing region. (6) The results of a kernel density estimation showed that there were obviously three core areas of urban land agglomeration in China during the late Qing Dynasty: the North China Plain-Central Plains, the Jiangsu-Shanghai-Zhejiang-Anhui area, and the Sichuan-Chongqing urban core area. This study provides basic data for urban land use during historical periods and provides a basis for the quantitative reconstruction of relevant urban land data for historical archives.

“…Many scholars have conducted multifunctional research in rural areas (Fan et al, 2022); however, many gaps in knowledge remain (Long et al, 2011;Martin and Lorenzen, 2016;Pribadi et al, 2017). First, while there are studies on the division of regional functions or multifunctional type identification in terms of economic, agricultural product supply, leisure tourism, ecological, and social functions (Verburg and Chen, 2000): few have considered the functions of grain, aquaculture, and cash crops in detail.…”

Rural decline has become a global problem. To address this issue, the division of rural functions and identification of driving factors are important means of rural revitalization. Taking the town area as a unit, this study conducts a division and evolution analysis of rural regional functions in Jiangsu province in coastal China by constructing an evaluation system using the spatial econometric model to diagnose endogenous and exogenous driving factors of rural multifunction formation. The results show that the functions of agricultural supply and ecological conservation have decreased, while the functions of economic development and social security have increased. Agricultural production functions are concentrated in northern and central Jiangsu. The economic development function is mainly based on industrial development, and is the strongest in southern Jiangsu. Social security functions are concentrated in suburban area, county centers, and key towns. High-value areas of ecological conservation are concentrated along lakes, the coast, and hilly areas of southern Jiangsu. The multifunctional development of villages and towns is affected by endogenous and exogenous factors, including economic geographic location, natural resources, economic foundation, human capital, traffic conditions, market demand, infrastructure, and environmental governance. Natural factors have a significant impact on the supply of agricultural products and the formation of ecological conservation functions. The effects of socioeconomic factors on these four functions differ significantly. This study expands the theory of rural development functions, the classification and zoning paradigm, and the quantitative study of driving mechanisms. The results provide a reference for practical value and policy significance for the reconstruction of rural functions and rural revitalization.
