Abstract:
As an important approach on the rural revitalization strategy, the integrated land consolidation of agriculture and tourism optimizes land resources to promote rural industrial upgrading and enhance the economic vitality and livelihood resilience of rural households. Taking Yongdeng County as the research area, by using the sustainable livelihood theory and resilience theory, we constructs a five-dimensional evaluation system including economic, social, and natural capital. The entropy method is used to determine the index weights, and factor analysis is combined for dimensionality reduction. We explores the impact of the integrated land consolidation of agriculture and tourism on the livelihood resilience of rural households. The research findings are as follows:(1) Land consolidation significantly improves the economic and physical capital of rural households, but the improvement of social and human capital does not reach a significant level.(2) The gradient difference in spatial distribution shows that the livelihood resilience presents the characteristic of “high in the middle and low in the north and south”.(3) The vulnerable links are identified, and natural capital, human capital, and social capital are the main constraints on the improvement of rural household livelihood resilience. Therefore, we proposes a sustainable mechanism for enhancing the livelihood resilience of rural households through “integration of cultural and tourism IPs”, “targeted skills training”, and “functional transformation of cooperatives”, with the aim of providing theoretical basis and practical reference for rural revitalization in ecologically fragile areas in the west.
