数字乡村建设下农旅资源整合及其空间效应——以广州市从化区为例

Integration of agricultural and tourism resources and spatial effect based on rural digitalization:A case study of Conghua district,Guangzhou

数字乡村建设是实现乡村振兴与共同富裕的重要路径,数字技术在乡村空间的嵌入正在改变乡村资源开发与利用方式,也为农旅资源融合提供新的路径。以广州市从化区数字乡村为案例,探讨数字技术推动农旅资源整合过程及其空间效应。研究发现:(1)数字技术的嵌入使得广州市从化区乡村的农业空间从单一的生产空间拓展到“研发—生产—消费”全产业链空间;(2)数字技术推动农旅资源整合发生在实体和虚拟两个场域,打破传统单一的“农家乐”农旅整合路径,实现多样化的发展;(3)数字支持下农旅资源整合拓展了农业空间的内涵、增强了乡村对外部空间的依赖以及促进了乡村表征空间的媒体化,但存在传统乡土性的破坏、过度依赖外部性和同质化发展等问题。

Digital rural construction is important to realize rural revitalization and common prosperity.Digital technology embedded in rural space is changing the development and utilization of rural resources,and provides a new path for different types of resource integration.The digital transformation of agriculture not only promotes the refinement,intelligence and informatization of agricultural production but also creates a new space for the integration of agricultural and tourism resources.This article takes the construction of digital rural areas in Conghua district of Guangzhou as a case,focuses on how the digital transformation of rural agriculture in Conghua reshapes the development and utilization of rural resources and discusses how it promotes the integration of local agriculture and tourism resources and its spatial effect.The study found that:(1)The embedding of digital technology has enabled the agricultural space in the rural areas of Conghua,Guangzhou,to expand from a single production space to a whole industry chain of"research and development-productionconsumption".Not only does it realize the informationization,refinement and intelligence of agricultural development,but it also reconstructs the development mode of rural resources,thus offering the possibility of integrating agricultural tourism resources.(2)The integration of agricultural and tourism resources in Conghua takes place in two main spatial fields.The first is based on the integration of the digital landscape in the physical space.Digital infrastructure and technology-enabled placemaking constitute a new type of tourism attraction,creating unique tourism experiences for visitors and enriching tourism and leisure options.The second is the integration of digital space based on platforms.Visitors can participate in the destination experience from a distance through digital platforms,where they are not only viewers of the rural media landscape,but also participants with digital technology.(3)Digital technology promotes the integration of rural agricultural and tourism resources and drives the reshaping of rural spaces.This is mainly reflected in the promotion of agricultural space expansion,the increased countryside dependence on external space and the mediatization of rural representational space.However,there are also problems of the destruction of traditional rurality,over-reliance on externalities and homogenised development.This study can provide enlightenment for the integration and efficient utilization of rural resources under the background of digital rural construction.
