Classification, Evolution Trend, and Research Prospect of Rural Multifunction in Metropolitan Suburbs
Abstract
As a forward position to realize urban-rural integration development, the rural multi-functionality of metropolitan suburbs, which faces higher requirements in terms of governance, taking over the core functions of the metropolis and meeting its consumption needs, has recently gained much attention among scholars and policymakers. However, there is a shortage of comprehensive summaries of the rural multi-functional development rules(about patterns, differentiation characteristics, etc.) in metropolitan suburbs, as well as relatively little research specifically on the multi-functional development of such areas. This has led to the emergence of a range of issues such as unclear connotations, lack of guidance, and disability of revitalization. In the future, establishing how to meet the diversified needs of cities and residents through function expansion, and how to revitalize such rural areas through the optimal combination and coordinated development of functions will be key issues that need to be solved in the practice of urban-rural integration development. Consequently, based on scientific identification regarding different needs of the urban-rural subject in the metropolis, this paper first defines the connotation of the rural multi-functionality of metropolitan suburbs—the sum of all kinds of services and functions that can be provided to meet the various needs of urban and rural residents, maintain the suburban villages themselves, and rely on the integration and symbiosis of the metropolis and the coordinated development of urban and rural areas—and then presents a multi-functional classification system from the perspective of "production-living-ecology" functions. Second, this thesis summarizes the mechanisms and trends that motivate the evolution of multi-functionality in the suburban villages of the metropolis: 1) Overall, the multi-functional development of rural areas is generally considered to be the result of the joint action of natural geographical systems, socio-economic systems, policies and systems, and human activities, similar to that of the evolution of traditional village functions. However, the contribution of such factors that influence the choice of direction of functional expansion, the speed of functional evolution, and changes in functional intensity in the suburban villages of the metropolis varies enormously. 2) Compared with general rural areas, the rural multifunction of metropolitan suburbs is the first to present the evolution trend of "modernization and characterization of production functions, convenience and humanization of living functions, and greenization and sustainability of ecological functions." Finally, the innovative directions of the future collaborative evolution of rural multi-function in the suburbs of the metropolis are drawn from four aspects: 1) construction of a basic theory and classification system, 2) identification method of rural multi-functional zoning under the constraints of innovative development planning policies, 3) active exploration of typical paths and modes of multi-function collaboration, and 4) improvement of the policy support system for the transformation and development of rural multi-function. This study will be of great significance in optimizing urban-rural relations in the metropolis, promoting urban-rural integration, and guiding the optimization and development of local rural functions and rural revitalization.
