Description
Summary:[Objective] The coupling level between land use transition and rural transformation development shows obvious gradient differentiation characteristics at different stages of socio-economic development or in different regions, and clarifying the coupling relationship between the two systems creates conditions for promoting sustainable rural revitalization. [Methods] This paper took the county-level administrative regions in Jiangsu Province as an example from 2000 to 2020, analyzed the theoretical framework of the coupling relationship between land use transition and rural transformation development, and applied the coupling coordination and VAR model to explore their spatial and temporal evolution characteristics and interaction mechanism. [Results] (1) During the study period (2000-2020), the land use transition and rural transformation development development in counties of Jiangsu Province presented a pattern of evolving from low-speed heterogeneity to high-speed homogeneity, characterized by the macroscopic features of leading in some local areas and an orderly gradient improvement. (2) The coupling relationship of land use transition and rural transformation development in Jiangsu Province had undergone two stages: Transition from the province’s imbalance to partial low coupling, then from low coupling to high coupling. Overall, it showed a continuously improving trend year by year. In terms of spatial pattern, it presented a gradient differentiation pattern of “high in the south and low in the north”. (3) The coupling relationship between the land use transition and rural transformation development was complex. Rural trasformation development was the cause and driving force of for land use transition, while land use transition provided material basis and spatial support for rural transformation development. There was a strong mutual promotion relationship between the them. Rural transformation development was not only affected by itself but also impacted by the land use transition, and showed strong self-promotional characteristics, while land use transition exerted certain coercive effects on rural transformation development. [Conclusion] The coupling relationship between land use transition and rural transformation development determines the internal dynamics of regional rural transformation, and regulating this relationship provides an effective path for optimizing the rural spatial governance system and promoting sustainable rural development.
