- Abstract:
-
Rural human settlement environment is an organic integration of material and non-material things which peasant households demand during their production and living activity in rural areas. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out the studies on its spatial distribution to lay a theory basis for the differentiated consolidations of rural human settlement environment. Taking the 37 counties in Chongqing City as research units, an index system of comprehensive evaluation for rural human settlements environment is proposed based on 5 different aspects, the infrastructure conditions, the public service conditions, the environmental sanitation, the living conditions, and the rural economic level. We used entropy method to evaluate the quality of rural human settlement environment, and analyzed the spatial distribution characteristics. This study could supply the scientific leading for the consolidation and optimization of rural human settlement environment in Chongqing City. The results indicate as follows. (1) The environmental sanitation that possesses the highest weight in first class index, is the most important factor that affects the quality of rural human settlement environment. (2) The spatial differentiation of rural human settlement environment polarizes obviously and exhibits the pattern which is high in the west and low in the east. (3) It is apparent that the first class index shows regional differentiation characteristics, among which, the infrastructure conditions, the public service conditions and the living conditions have significant positive correlations with rural human settlement environment, while the environmental sanitation and the rural economic level have significant negative correlations with it.
