Simulation study on the urban-rural integration circulatory mechanism system in China: Based on system dynamics model and multi-objective genetic algorithm by Gaoyang Liang, Mingqiang Xing, Jianqiang Zhao

“…Existing academic research on China’s urban-rural integration lacks a comprehensive exploration that integrates “factors and pathways” while providing a dynamic depiction of how different driving forces influence the urban-rural integration process. To bridge this gap, this study constructs a “Theoretical Model of the Urban-Rural Integration Circulatory Mechanism” based on three core driving forces—market circulation, public service circulation, and information technology circulation—by reviewing relevant literature and clarifying the roles and interrelationships of these factors in economic, social, spatial, ecological, and population integration. …”
