摘要

农村转型和农田使用过渡是全球农村地区的重要现象。尽管开展了大量研究,但对这两个过程在同一地理背景下的共同发生缺乏调查,对其相互联系的理论探讨仍然不足。为了填补这一知识空白,我们建立了一个全面的理论框架,以阐明农村转型与农地使用转型之间错综复杂的联系。随后,我们在江苏省开展了一项案例研究,为这一框架提供了有力的实证证据。我们的研究结果表明(1) 江苏的农村转型和农田利用转型部分与全球趋势一致,表现为人口减少、向非农业就业转移、农业机械化先进、农田流失和破碎化;然而,在江苏也观察到了细微的差别,表现为农业对化学品依赖的减少和塑料薄膜使用的增加,以及种植范式中种植多样性的下降。(2) 与欠发达地区相比,江苏农村发达地区在向高效农业转变、减少对化学品依赖的同时,也面临着耕地流失和耕地破碎化的严峻挑战。(3) 农村人口减少、非农业就业和农村收入增加对耕地流失和破碎化有积极影响,但对种植多样性有消极影响。此外,没有观察到耕地丧失、破碎化与农业生产率或机械化之间存在不利关联。我们的研究结果丰富了关于中国东部农村转型与耕地使用转型之间关系的现有知识,并为制定以地方为基础、以问题为导向的空间治理政策以协调耕地保护与农村发展之间的关系提供了启示。

Rural transformation and its links to farmland use transition: Theoretical insights and empirical evidence from Jiangsu, China

Rural transformation and farmland use transition are significant phenomena in rural areas worldwide. Despite extensive research, there is a lack of investigation into the co-occurrence of these two processes in the same geographical context, and theoretical discussions about their interconnections remain inadequate. To fill this knowledge gap, we developed a comprehensive theoretical framework to elucidate the intricate connections between rural transformation and farmland use transition. Subsequently, we conducted a case study in Jiangsu province to offer robust empirical evidence substantiating this framework. Our findings show that: (1) The rural transformation and farmlands use transition in Jiangsu partially aligns with global trends, as evidenced by population decline, shifts towards non-agricultural employment, advanced agricultural mechanization, farmland loss and fragmentation; however, nuanced distinctions were also observed within Jiangsu, characterized by the reduced reliance on chemicals and increased use of plastic film in agriculture, as well as the declining cropping diversity in cultivation paradigm. (2) The developed rural areas in Jiangsu demonstrate a more pronounced shift towards high-efficiency agriculture and reduced reliance on chemicals, while simultaneously encountering more significant challenges of farmland loss and fragmentation compared to their less-developed counterparts. (3) Rural depopulation, non-agricultural employment, and increased rural income positively influence farmland loss and fragmentation but negatively impact cultivation diversity. Additionally, there were no observed adverse associations between farmland loss, fragmentation, and agricultural productivity or mechanization. Our findings contribute to the existing knowledge on how rural transformation links to farmland use transition in eastern China and shed insights on making place-based, problem-driven spatial governance policies for reconciling farmland conservation and rural development.

期刊介绍: Habitat International is dedicated to the study of urban and rural human settlements: their planning, design, production and management. Its main focus is on urbanisation in its broadest sense in the developing world. However, increasingly the interrelationships and linkages between cities and towns in the developing and developed worlds are becoming apparent and solutions to the problems that result are urgently required. The economic, social, technological and political systems of the world are intertwined and changes in one region almost always affect other regions.
