欠发达地区"分类有序、片区化推进乡村振兴"的实践样态、现实困境与适配路径OACHSSCD

Based on continuous field research conducted between 2021 and 2025 across 30 districts(counties)in seven provinces in central and western China,this study systematically examines the practical models,current challenges and adaptive pathways for the"classified,orderly and zonal advancement of rural revitalization"in underdeveloped regions.The results show that there are structural differences between practices in underdeveloped regions and experiences in the eastern regions."Classified advancement"manifests as a dual binary structure at the county and village levels,namely"key support counties versus ordinary counties"and"model villages versus ordinary villages"respectively."Orderly advancement"exhibits significant implementation disparities and diminishing returns across the county,town and village tiers.Whilst"zonal advancement"often takes the form of"primary zone"driven by administrative leadership and model projects,characterised by loose coordination and weak sustainability.Currently,underdeveloped regions face dual constraints arising from both universal and specific challenges:the former includes weak foundations,outflow of resources,and limited governance capacity.The latter are manifested as pressure to prevent a relapse into poverty,the accumulation of multiple rigid constraints,limitations on endogenous momentum,and a lack of coordination at the appropriate administrative levels.Accordingly,at the"classification and order"level,this paper proposes that a differentiated spectrum of villages should be established comprising three categories:priority enhancement,consolidation and improvement,and safety-net protection,and set a two-stage revitalization sequence.At the"zonal"level,systematic optimization pathways are proposed including the establishment of an applicability assessment mechanism,the innovation of governance mechanisms and the cultivation of local operational capacity,and the transition from external support to self-sustaining development.These measures are expected to provide policy guidance for underdeveloped regions to chart a sustainable revitalization path that aligns with their specific conditions.
