Abstract:
The county-level urban-rural integration level is a key foundation for policy-making for new urbanization in traditional agricultural areas. Based on factors-cluster and ArcGIS technology,the urban-rural integration types of 159 counties were measured quantitatively in Henan province through the evaluation index system of urban-rural integration construction, which showed that the economic development and public service, modern agricultural development, population consumption structure, fixed assets investment, residents income level were the main driving factors for the urban-rural integration development, and formed five spatial types of urban-rural integration, including urban-rural modern agriculture integration, urban-rural fixed assets investment integration, urban-rural economic development and public service integration, and the urban-rural population income. Although the resources endowment in every county would affect its urban-rural integration progress, the economic development were the key driving factor, and the rural fixed assets investment, living standards difference between urban and rural areas were the important push and pull strength for the urban-rural integration development. Finally, the targeted policy and measures have been put forth to promote scientifically the urban-rural integration development in Henan province.
