Abstract: Under the guidance of the 'dual carbon' goal, rural development is facing new requirements and challenges, and green and low-carbon transformation has become an indispensable core issue for the future development and planning of rural areas. In order to explore low-carbon planning strategies in rural areas and improve the quality of rural living environment, this article summarizes the main progress of low-carbon rural research and uses Shengli Village, a typical village in Dongting Lake area, Hunan Province as an empirical case to quantitatively calculate and analyze the main carbon sources and sinks before and after village planning using the carbon emission factor method. The results show that Shengli Village is currently in a stage of high carbon emission development, with particularly significant carbon emissions from village housing construction, building energy consumption, and transportation. And in response to the shortcomings of different carbon sources and sinks, targeted low-carbon planning strategies are proposed from five aspects: low-carbon space, low-carbon buildings, low-carbon transportation, low-carbon resources, and low-carbon industries, in order to provide new ideas for low-carbon and high-quality development of similar rural areas.
