Abstract:
In order to grasp the situation and level of rural construction, and accurately identify the problems of rural anxieties and short boards of rural construction, 64 counties in Hubei Province were selected as the research objects, and the evaluation index system was constructed from the perspective of green livability, which mainly covers 5 first-level indexes and 15 second-level indexes, including 'green production, livable life, effective governance, equal service, and perfect facilities'. Survey statistics, principal component analysis (PCA), cluster analysis (CA) and GeoDetector were used to construct a comprehensive evaluation model to study the level, type and key influencing factors of green livability in counties and villages. It is found that: 1) the level of green livable countryside construction in Hubei Province is high in the central plains and low in the mountainous areas in the east and west, and the regional differences in the level of green livability are significant; 2) K-means cluster analysis finds that the 64 counties in Hubei Province can be clustered into three types, and there is a certain connection between the spatial distribution of the countryside in the three county areas and the distribution of the topography and geomorphology; 3) GeoDetector analysis finds that the topography and geomorphology is the strongest driving factor for the three types of counties, where the type of countryside is influenced by the growth rate of the primary industry. The countryside is more influenced by the growth rate of primary industry; Type II countryside is more influenced by per capita disposable income; Type III countryside is more influenced by forest cover. The study provides an evaluation method model for the construction of green and livable villages, and the results also provide a basis for counties to formulate differentiated rural development strategies, which is of great significance for promoting the comprehensive revitalization and sustainable development of villages in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
