Abstract:
Against the backdrop of rural revitalization, establishing an evaluation system for leisure agricultural landscapes enables systematic assessment of resource value, thereby providing a scientific foundation for rural landscape construction, industrial upgrading, and the integration of agriculture, culture, and tourism. From the perspective of agriculture-culture-tourism integration, this study constructs an evaluation system based on the AVC (Atraction, Vitality, Capacity) theory. Empirical analysis was conducted on three villages in Yuhang District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, which represent different development stages: Zhuyuan Village (initial development stage), Yong'an Village (development stage), and Jingshan Village (mature stage). The results indicate that Jingshan Village achieved the highest comprehensive evaluation score (4.0490), followed by Yong'an Village (3.6730) and Zhuyuan Village (3.3010). Specifically, Jingshan Village and Yong'an Village were rated ‘good', while Zhuyuan Village received a ‘fair' rating. Based on these empirical results, this study identifies and analyzes the key factors restricting development at each stage. By comparing the differences among the three villages, differentiated development strategies are proposed from three dimensions: environmental improvement and cultural empowerment, industrial development, and regional coordination and sustainable development. These strategies provide a reference for optimizing leisure agricultural landscapes in suburban areas and advancing the in-depth integration of agriculture, culture, and tourism.
