“…Utilizing four dimensions-urban-rural spatial integration, economic integration, social integration, and ecological integration-a set of 22 indicators was established, covering 16 aspects including spatial aggregation level, spatial connectivity efficiency, digitalization level, population density, economic conditions, industrial structure, employment situation, resident income, consumer spending, technological progress, education inclusivity, material foundation, pursuit of cultural life, healthcare, vegetation greening, and energy consumption. The objective was to construct a multidimensional evaluation index system that comprehensively reflects the actual level of urban-rural integration in China [52][53][54]. Through the comprehensive assessment of these indicators, it becomes possible to accurately reflect the differences and development situations of the urban-rural integration level across different provinces in China.…”
