Distribution Characteristics and Optimization Strategies of “Production-Living-Ecological” Spaces in Western Guangdong Rural Area from the Perspective of Carbon-Neutral
Publication: ICCREM 2023
ABSTRACT
With the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, low-carbon development in Chinese rural areas has played an increasing important role in achieving the goal of carbon neutrality. Identifying the distribution characteristics and problems of rural “production-living-ecological” space (PLES) is of great significance for optimization of Chinese rural areas. At present, there are lots of researches from different perspectives at country, province, and city levels examining the rural PLES, such as the functional perspective of land use and economic perspective. Functions and values of carbon sink, the photovoltaic industry and so on, while the perspective of carbon-neutral at the village scale is less touched. Therefore, a case study was conducted in Feima Village in Maoming, by using the methods of multi-source data analysis and participatory rural appraisal. The result showed that rich ecological resources and carbon sinks in the ecological space (ES), high-carbon and unregulated production methods in the production space (PS), and lack of behavioral guidance for villagers in the living space (LS), and it was a challenge for constructing the low-carbon and sustainable development of villages in terms of the management of the PLES. Research indicated that the local government should scientifically protect ecological resources, develop low-carbon industries, raise residents’ awareness of environmental protection, and adjust the current governance structure to optimize the PLES.
