Measurement of rural industrial revitalization and its driving mechanism from the perspective of enterprises: Taking the first three batches key rural tourism villages as examples

Abstract

Rural industrial revitalization is the key to rural revitalization. Based on the enterprise data, this study constructed an evaluation indicator system of rural industrial revitalization. Taking the first three batches key rural tourism villages in China as the research object, the level of rural industrial revitalization in China was measured and analyzed. The multiscale geographically weighted regression model (MGWR) was used to analyze the influencing factors and spatial differentiation of rural industrial revitalization, and the development mode and driving mechanism of rural industrial revitalization were summarized. The results show that: 1) From 2010 to 2019, the level of industrial revitalization of key rural tourism villages in China showed a fluctuating growth trend. Villages of high industrial revitalization level were concentrated in the surrounding areas of metropolitan regions and cities with rich tourism resources. 2) There were scale effects and spatial heterogeneity in the influencing factors of the industrial revitalization level of key rural tourism villages. Transportation, governance capacity, and infrastructure had a global impact, while geographical location and tourism economy had local effects. 3) Industrial revitalization of key rural tourism villages can be divided into resource- oriented type, location radiation type, and comprehensive management type. The industrial endogenous development mechanism, the location- led radiation driving mechanism, and the governance- led interest coordination mechanism are the main driving mechanisms for rural industrial revitalization. The research results can provide a reference for enriching the theory and promoting the practice of rural industrial revitalization.
