Urban-rural integrated development is an important way to coordinate the national strategies of new urbanization and rural revitalization. It is also crucial for Chinese-style modernization. To comprehensively tackle challenges facing the current urban-rural integration in China, explore the path of coordinated urban-rural governance, and clarify the strategies for urban-rural integrated development, experts from various fields were cordially invited to engage in in-depth discussions on pressing issues related to urban-rural iintegrated development. These issues include the trends and pathways of urban-rural integration in contemporary China, Innovation of institutions and mechanisms for urban-rural integration, implementation pathways for territorial spatial planning, emerging rural business models and rural transformation pathways, high-quality development pathways for urban-rural integration in different regions, and the path of promoting urban-rural integrated development through comprehensive land consolidation. These discussions aimed to advance theoretical research and practical planning of urban-rural integrated development in China. Attentions need to be paid in urban-rural integrated development in the New Era on: (1) The primary obstacles and innovative pathways in the institutions and mechanisms of urban-rural integrated development guided by comprehensive coordination and regional interconnectivity. Constructing an infrastructure and public service system that effectively connects and complements urban and rural areas, accelerating the coordinated development of urban and rural areas using counties as the carrier, and promoting the flexible governance of this population while concurrently achieving integrated governance of urban-rural natural and social system. Promoting cross-border governance, encouraging cooperation and assistance between eastern and western regions, and achieving regional-scale coordinated development between urban and rural areas. Underdeveloped regions in both Central and Western China should strengthen the linkage role of counties and small towns. This involves enhancing their attractiveness for the inflow of talent, technology, and capital, and driving the transformation of industrial structures towards digitization, intelligence, and low. In contrast, developed regions in the Eastern China should establish a spatial structure system with multiple focal points, network layout, and clear hierarchies. They should expand the breadth and precision of urban-rural factor mobility, and promote the transformation and upgrade of traditional infrastructure and public services, aiming for inclusive development. (2) Optimizing the allocation of resource elements driven by the "planning-utilization-consolidation" cycle in territorial spatial management to achieve shared urban-rural governance and rural reconstruction. Anchoring the spatial pattern of urban and rural development through territorial spatial planning, optimizing the urban-rural spatial layout during planning implementation. Ultimately, improving the spatial quality organic renewal and driving bidirectional flows of diverse elements between urban and rural regions. Place emphasis on rural functional provision, resource utilization orientation, and industrial development models, uncovering multifaceted rural functions including production, lifestyle, ecology, and landscapes. Exploring regionally adapted industrial integration models that enhance agricultural and rural development vitality through distinctive features and high efficiency gains. We also should enhance the leading role of comprehensive land consolidation policies, incentivize and support active private capital involvement, promote resource integration and value enhancement. Strengthening urban-rural industrial synergy and integrated development, and facilitating the orderly flow of urban-rural resource elements. (3) Enhanced awareness and innovative practices in targeted urban-rural governance and rural transformation supported by digital technology and intelligent platforms. Establishing an urban-rural data sharing platform helps bridge the "digital divide" in urban-rural integrated development and enables refined governance across urban and rural areas. Deeply apply the technologies like 5G, Internet of Things (IoT) to support the transformation and upgrade of conventional infrastructure. Expanding the coverage of digital devices in rural basic facilities, and utilizing digital technology to integrate cultural resources across urban and rural areas. Promoting the deep integration of the digital economy and the physical economy involves linking consumer markets through the internet and digital technology, establishing diverse channels for agricultural product distribution, and stimulating the transformation of consumption patterns and the enhancement of consumption capabilities for both urban and rural residents. Embedding digital technology into rural industry development and social governance processes to facilitate the intelligent transformation of agricultural production, digitalization of rural industry development, smartification of rural administrative affairs, and establishment of a digital grid for rural social governance. The aforementioned viewpoints can provide theoretical support and decision-making foundations for achieving the goal of urban-rural integrated development oriented towards Chinese-style modernization.

New quality productive forces are the core driver for building a modern tourism sector and also support the development of a strong tourism nation. In order to deeply understand the scientific connotation of new quality productive forces and clarify the theoretical logic and strategic path of new quality productive forces empowering the high-quality development of tourism industry, several experts on regional economic development, the digital economy, tourism management and geography were interviewed. The interviews were based on the logic of "problem orientation-innovative thinking-path mechanism", focusing on the background, opportunities and challenges, core meanings, drivers, and innovations empowering the high-quality development of tourism new quality productive forces. There were three main conclusions from this research. The first was the strategic opportunities and risks of promoting the high-quality development of tourism through new quality productive forces against a background of rapid and continuous technological change. New quality productive forces optimize resource allocation through scientific and technological innovation, and improve the production efficiency and growth quality of tourism. They also produce new tourism development models and forms of business, constantly generating momentum to drive high-quality economic and social improvements. Especially in rural tourism, the role of new quality productive forces is particularly significant. It promotes the gradual improvement of the rural tourism production network, enhances cooperation among rural tourism stakeholders, helps rural tourism participants evolve new production initiatives, and ultimately reinvigorates rural areas with increased prosperity. However, given globalization and rapid digitalization, innovation in tourism faces a series of challenges. In particular, the lack of systematic development of tourism software and hardware, risks of data security and privacy protection, resistance to change and innovation in traditional tourism, and the "growing pains" brought by the transformation to new technologies deserve attention. The development of new quality productive forces in future tourism must focus on technological innovation, find and prepare a quality tourism workforce, optimize and more closely integrate products and services with human talent, and significantly improve the total factor productivity of tourism. Second, the process of empowering the high-quality development of tourism must encompass technological innovation leading to industrial modernization. Innovation plays a leading role in new quality productive forces and is the core driver of the high-quality development of tourism. The new quality productive forces empowering this tourism development have several specific features. Technological innovation leads the modernization of the tourism sector and is a prerequisite for the high-quality development of tourism. Factor integration and supply-demand matching are the intrinsic requirements for the high-quality development of tourism. Other critical ingredients are digitization, greening and artificial intelligence. The significant improvement of total factor productivity must be the core goal for the high-quality development of tourism. Third, the guidance of national strategy is crucial to the progress and prospects for new quality productive forces empowering the high-quality development of tourism. New quality productive forces are receiving widespread emphasis since their inception and have become a core issue highly valued by the tourism sector in China. In the New Era, modern technology has become a key production factor in tourism. Additionally, the transformation and upgrading of tourism is dynamically advancing, growth is strengthening, and the ability of tourism to serve national economic and social-cultural strategies is becoming more noticeable. However, it should not be overlooked that high-quality tourism development is still faced with serious problems such as weak technological innovation capabilities, uneven regional development, inadequate circulation of factor resources, and insufficient human talent for tourism. To further enhance the beneficial impacts of new quality productive forces in stimulating the high-quality development of tourism, it is necessary to focus on deepening the reform of the system and operations in tourism, optimizing the creative allocation of tourism production factors, accelerating the development of a modern tourism sector, and improving the quality of professional tourism talent. These three recommendations will not only enhance the understanding and application of new quality productive forces to a certain extent, but also provide decision-making support for building China into a leading tourism nation in the world.

The protection and utilization of traditional villages is not only a major practical issue to realize China's rural revitalization and Chinese-style modernization, but also a hot topic in the integration and cross-research of geography, sociology, planning, economics and other disciplines. In order to systematically explore the theoretical cognition, practical problems, system mechanism, practical experience and effective path of the protection and utilization of traditional villages in China, 11 experts in the research field of traditional villages were invited to conduct interviews. The interview mainly focuses on the classification of Chinese traditional villages from three perspectives: policy change and typical model, macro mechanism and core theme, theoretical cognition and practical path, and focuses on specific practices such as industrial integration, landscape protection, vitality, value realization, subject drive, spatial governance and locality, based on the theoretical understanding of the macro system and mechanism for the protection and utilization of Chinese traditional villages. Advanced theoretical and practical issues such as industrial integration, landscape protection, organic renewal, vitality, value realization, subject drive, spatial governance and locality were discussed in depth. According to the main views of the experts, the protection and utilization of China's traditional villages in the new era should focus on: (1) The main problems of protection and utilization of Chinese traditional villages facing the impact of rapid urbanization and modernization, the innovation of mechanism and system, and the realization path. In view of the conflict between modern civilization and agricultural civilization faced by traditional Chinese villages and the major strategic needs for national rural revitalization and Chinese-style modernization, the combination of "top-down" and "bottom-up" is adopted to build a diversified integration mechanism featuring multi-subject participation, organic integration of agriculture, culture and tourism, and overall coordination. By exploring the endogenous growth factors of traditional villages and the historical inheritance and cultural context of traditional villages, strengthening the leadership of rural grassroots party building, giving play to the role of villagers as the main body, reshaping the public cultural space system of traditional villages and all-round digital twin modeling, etc., we will create a living environment that is in line with modernization development and ecological civilization construction and jointly build a cultural map, to realize the transformation of traditional Chinese villages from "vegetable gardens" and "back gardens" to "spiritual homes". (2) Core themes and specific spatial practices of protection and utilization of traditional Chinese villages for rural revitalization and Chinese-style modernization. Focus on the core themes of traditional village classification, industrial integration, organic renewal, landscape protection, vitality, value realization, subject drive, spatial governance and local reconstruction, and strengthen the classification and classification of traditional villages based on the coupling of key factors such as "livelihood, water, food, energy and land"; focus on the significance, connotation and influence mechanism of the time dimension, space dimension and attribute dimension of traditional village industrial transformation; focus on the three tasks of "protection and development countermeasures, measures to improve people's livelihood, and strategies to activate utilization" to promote the organic renewal of traditional settlements; emphasis should be placed on the gene protection and inner spiritual value mining of traditional human settlement cultural landscape, the "living" protection and utilization of traditional living space and the "activation" of traditional cultural heritage; focus on the diversification of traditional village activities, "co-construction, co-governance and sharing" and the construction of beautiful villages; the importance of natural non-human elements and human beings as spatial order construction and place construction of traditional villages and their active practice are emphasized to promote the realization of multi-functionality and multi-value of traditional villages. Pay attention to the excavation of traditional cultural heritage and intensive and efficient material space, create a harmonious and comfortable social space and protect and inherit traditional culture space; focusing on rural elements such as "ecology, culture, subject, and industry", strengthening ecological background, inheriting and developing local culture, balancing capital advantages and local embeddedness among local and cross-local subjects, so as to realize local reconstruction and characteristic remodeling of traditional Chinese villages.

The spatio-temporal patterns of China's cropland have been profoundly reshaped over the past 40 years, and it is vital to scientifically reveal the spatio-temporal differentiation characteristics of cropland use change and analyze its impact on cropland NPP for accurately judging the utilization situation of cropland resources and ensuring food security in China. However, few studies have focused on the spatio-temporal characteristics of cropland use change and their impacts on cropland NPP in China were still unclear. This study quantitatively analyzed the spatio-temporal differentiation characteristics of cropland use change in China from 1980 to 2020 and its impact on cropland NPP by applying the models of gravity analysis, spatial statistical analysis, and digital terrain analysis. The results were showed as follows: (1) The quantity of transfer-in cropland in China gradually exceeds that of transfer-out cropland during 1980-2020, with the spatial characteristics of south-decreased and north-increased, east-decreased and west-increased, and the gravity center of transfer-out cropland and transfer-in cropland overall moves to Southwest China. (2) Both transfer-in and transfer-out cropland develop to areas with high elevation and slope, and the average elevation and slope of transfer-in cropland is higher than that of transfer-out cropland with the phenomenon of "even cropland decreasing with steep cropland increasing" and "low-elevation cropland decreasing with high-elevation cropland increasing". (3) The fragmentation degree of transfer-in and transfer-out cropland in China has deepened, with the fragmentation degree of transfer-in cropland being higher and the phenomenon of "contiguously reduced and fragmentarily increasing". (4) The conversion of cropland to grassland and forest land was most frequent during 1980-2000, and the phenomenon of returning cropland to forest land and grassland and construction land encroaching on cropland became more obvious during 2000-2020. (5) The cropland NPP in China generally increased during the study period, but declined in several urban agglomerations and their surrounding areas. The study results provide a basis for understanding the process of cropland use change and its impacts in China, and provide scientific support for the refinement of cropland protection policies as well as the safeguarding of food security.

Loss of sustained attention to tourism resources is the phenomenon of reduced or shifted attention to tourism resources, which is important for enhancing the risk-resistant ability of tourism resources. Based on the big data of online public opinion and the comprehensive use of sentiment analysis, LDA theme model, fuzzy qualitative comparative analysis and other research methods, the study explores the factors and paths that affect the loss of sustained attention to tourism resources based on the establishment of comprehensive evaluation indexes to measure the loss of sustained attention to tourism resources. The study found that: (1) The loss of sustained attention of tourism resources is characterised by volatility, but tends to be stable internally. (2) During the study period, the loss of sustained attention of Zibo, Hongyadong, and Harbin Ice and Snow Festival showed a decreasing trend, the loss of sustained attention of Chaka Salt Lake, Beer Festival, Impression Liu Sanjie, and Da Song Qianguo Love showed an increasing trend, and the loss of sustained attention of Datang Nocturnal City showed an increasing trend followed by a decreasing trend. (3) The loss of sustained attention of tourism resources is influenced by the interaction of tourism supply, market demand, new media communication and other factors, and the paths that form the low loss of sustained attention of tourism resources are product innovation and media marketing. The results of the study provide theoretical reference for understanding the inner logic of the sustainable development of tourism resources in the new media era, and provide practical guidance for effectively matching public service supply, and improving resource quality and promotion.

Achieving a balance between environmental conservation and tourism development, and addressing the negative effects of seasonal fluctuations are crucial for the high-quality development of ecotourism destinations. Touristification serves as a prevalent strategy to address these challenges in these areas. However, existing research on touristification lacks effective analytical tools and explanatory mechanisms, making it difficult to delineate the evolution stages, causal mechanisms, and spatiotemporal impacts of tourism development over time. This paper extends the application of touristification theory through a case study, constructing a spatiotemporal model of touristification. Employing observation methods, interviews, and the collection of secondary data, we have obtained multi-source data to delineate the over-two-decade touristification process of the Sayram Lake scenic area in Xinjiang, from an ecological pasture to a mature ecotourism destination. Our study elucidates the multidimensional evolution of touristification and the developmental logic of its various stages. The findings reveal that Sayram Lake has undergone four distinct stages of touristification: government-led internal spatial touristification, government-led external spatial touristification, enterprise-led in-depth spatiotemporal touristification and government and enterprise-led off-peak temporal touristification. In general, tourism destination exhibited an initial internal then external touristification; the focus shifted from the high season and daytime first, then touristification to night-time and off-peak periods. Each stage of touristification at Sayram Lake intersects with the others, each with distinct key issues and driving forces at play. Internal touristification is key to building attractions, while external touristification is crucial for enhancing accessibility, and both should be harmonized. This paper introduces a new touristification model that provides analytical tools to understand the evolutionary patterns of touristification, the causal relationships at different stages, and their impacts. The model offers guidance for balancing conservation and development in ecotourism destinations, resolving the supply and demand contradictions between peak and off-peak seasons, and promoting high-quality development. By providing case studies and pathways, this model serves as a reference for stakeholders in ecotourism to effectively navigate the complexities of touristification.

Urbanization in China has transitioned from an era of urban construction focused on incremental land development to an era of urban renewal focused on stock land development. Implementing urban renewal and achieving high-quality development has become a significant challenge for urban development in the second half of China's urbanization process. In response to this challenge, experts and scholars from relevant academic fields were invited to explore and discuss the fundamental issues of how urban renewal should be implemented under the new historical conditions and value orientations. The key aspects and solution pathways of this issue were discussed, with a focus on the following areas: the institutional and strategic issues that impact urban renewal, the practical and technical questions of how urban renewal is carried out, and the potential negative effects arising from urban renewal. The paper has extensive discussions and reflections on these topics. Based on the main viewpoints of the invited experts, urban renewal under the background of high-quality development transformation needs to pay attention to the following key issues. First of all, the goals of urban renewal should be determined synthetically with the full consideration of the national development strategies pertaining to urban development, with the effort to promote the innovation of urban renewal system in the areas of spatial planning, land supply and management, development models, financing, and public participation. Second, it is suggested that new models of urban renewal driven by the combined efforts of government, market, and society needs to be established to ensure the publicness, efficiency, and fairness of urban renewal projects. In particular, the government should play a role of guiding and encouraging through decentralization and empowerment; the role of market should pay attention to the advantages of cooperation between private capital and state-owned enterprise capital; the society should play a role by activating the subjective role of property rights owners. Third, with the aim to promote a people-centered development, the damage of urban renewal to historical and cultural protection and adverse effects of gentrification it brings should be regulated and avoided. There is a need to enhance exploration of the urban renewal models beneficial to historical and cultural protection and social justice. This paper concludes by calling on scholars from multiple disciplines including geography, resources and environmental sciences, planning, and management to jointly promote research of urban renewal theories that fit to the Chinese path to modernization, with the aim to make Chinese contribution to theories on global urban renewal.

In China's urbanization 2.0 phase, urban renewal has become the primary means of urban spatial development. Essentially, it is a high-quality development process aimed at enhancing the efficiency of resource allocation and utilization, strengthening spatial carrying capacity, optimizing urban functional quality, and reinforcing urban development resilience. Centered on the reform and development goal of "establishing a sustainable urban renewal model and policy regulations" set by the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, 15 experts and scholars from fields such as geography, urban and rural planning, and land resource management engaged in written discussions. This exploration spans various perspectives and dimensions, including the conceptual connotation, value concepts, implementation and pathways, institutional policy environment construction, and performance evaluation methods of sustainable urban renewal. Specifically: (1) Conceptual Connotation: Sustainable urban renewal should be understood as both the "sustainability" of goals and the "sustainability" of implementation. (2) Value Concepts: Emphases should be placed on promoting multi-stakeholder participation and benefit-sharing as the fundamental economic philosophy for constructing sustainable urban renewal, as well as integrating urban renewal into the spatial governance of urban cultural heritage, social spatial, and ecological spaces, thereby organizing urban renewal actions from a multidimensional systemic perspective of "economic-social-cultural-ecological-resilience". (3) Implementation: It is crucial to effectively balance the interests of local governments, market entities, property owners, and society. Secondly, attention should be given to ensuring and enhancing the mechanism for state-owned enterprises to participate in urban renewal. Thirdly, new mechanisms should be adopted such as franchising to attract enthusiasm from social capital. With all parties mentioned above, we should transform urban construction from a "supply-oriented" to a "demand-oriented" model. Besides, to meet the people's growing needs for a better life, urban renewal implementation should focus more on multi-participatory design, embedding public service facilities, green infrastructure, and digital technology elements at the micro-community scale perceptible to the people, and coordinate urban renewal planning and management implementation. (4) Institutional Policy Environment Construction: Overall, there should be a focus on new demands for urban renewal products, governance, and models in the new era, so as to create an adaptive and sustainable institutional policy environment for urban renewal. Particularly, considering key elements such as "people, land, and capital" in urban renewal, systematic institutional innovations should be conducted in aspects like land use regulations, funding arrangements, and organizational mechanisms. (5) Performance Evaluation: Finally, from a "people's perspective", a measurable and comparable performance evaluation system for urban renewal should be established.

Urbanization and carbon emissions are both national focuses, academic research hotspots, and policy governance difficulties. Based on the perspectives of economic development, population transfer, and urban expansion, this paper analyzes the mechanisms of urbanization and carbon emissions from the multi-dimensional perspective of "industry-population-land", and uses decoupling analysis, Kaya-LMDI factor decomposition, and STIRPAT-LSDV model to empirically study the mechanisms of urbanization and carbon emissions in China. The study indicates that: (1) The material elements of urbanization, namely industry, population, and land, play a crucial role in the evolution of urbanization, and their changes are the logical starting point for changes in carbon emissions. The underlying logic, important factors, and spatial guarantee of the coupling interaction between urbanization and carbon emissions are economic development, population transfer, and urban expansion. (2) Since China acceded to the WTO, industrialization has accelerated. The relationship between urbanization and carbon emissions has changed from weak decoupling to growth coupling and even negative decoupling. As China enters the stage of high-quality economic development, the role of industry, population, and land urbanization in promoting carbon emissions has gradually diminished. (3) From 1990 to 2020, the effects of China's energy structure, energy efficiency, low-carbon economic structure, per capita economic level, economic scale, urban population size, urban population density, urban land size, and urban land use intensity on carbon emissions in the process of urbanization were 1.37, -139.98, -138.61, 163.53, 223.95, 60.41, -25.24, 85.66, and 138.29 billion tons, respectively. (4) Between 2003 and 2020, China's energy structure, energy efficiency, proportion of output value of the secondary and tertiary industries, urban population, and urban built-up area increased by 1% respectively, and carbon emissions correspondingly increased by 1.111%, -0.560%, 0.771%, 0.477%, and 0.488%, respectively. The interaction mechanism between urbanization and carbon emissions has spatial and temporal heterogeneity. The research results can provide scientific basis and decision-making reference for the implementation of new urbanization and the "Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality Goals" strategy.

The deep integration of culture and tourism has sparked numerous hot topics worthy of academic and professional discussion. This study synthesizes experts' views on these topics, analyzing key phenomena such as "digital intelligence empowerment", "rural tournaments", "national style breaking the circle", "officials'endorsement", "film and television empowering tourism", "off-site performances", and "city blogging". The study further examines these topics in terms of "emotional value", "cross-border integration", "risk management", and develops five key viewpoints: (1) Despite the explosive growth in public attention and replication of social behaviors, each hot topic has distinct values. (2) The "breaking the circle" phenomenon is triggered by the intersection of accidental inspiration and underlying logic, with both shared and unique triggers. (3) The formation mechanism of culture and tourism integration hot topics is complex, involving political, economic, social, technological, and other factors, driven by local governments, enterprises, institutions, and market demand. (4) The evolution of these hot topics is characterized by trends, with multiple types of cycles such as short cycle, long tail, and steady state. (5) The hot topics reflect the comprehensive effects of cross-border integration, demonstrating the depth and breadth of cultural and tourism integration, and varying in scope, intensity, and effectiveness of resource utilization. Positive and negative effects emerge simultaneously, with varying levels of controllability, necessitating the exploration and categorization of negative effects to strengthen risk management.

With the vigorous development of the Internet, data have become an important means of production, penetrating all areas of the tourism industry and giving rise to various "Internet-famous" tourist destinations. The "explosion of popularity" of traditional villages is not only a concentrated reflection of the transformation of rural tourism development mode promoted by digital intelligence technology, but also the basic characteristics and operating logic of the traffic economy in the New Era. Taking Xunpu village in Quanzhou city as a case study, this paper applies the Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) theory, grounded theory and the fsQCA method to reveal the influencing factors behind traditional villages becoming "Internet-famous" and to explore pathways for sustaining "long-term popularity". The research shows that: (1) Xunpu village has become an Internet-famous village with the help of network traffic, and its life cycle curve has deformed due to time compression, showing an extruded S shape. (2) The "explosion of popularity" of Xunpu village results from the interaction of five factors: symbolic value, virtual and real culture, spatial reconstruction, optimized management, and traffic dissemination, which jointly promote the mobility of village stock resources and production factors. (3) The three main paths for Xunpu village to achieve long-term success are "symbolic value-driven type by traffic dissemination", "symbolist value-optimized management boosted type" and "spatial reconstruction-optimized management driven type". Under the coordination of virtual and real culture and traffic dissemination, symbolic value plays a core leading role. The flow economy, as an important form of tourism productivity, has brought new opportunities and challenges to the sustainable development of traditional villages. Future related research can further expand the sample range to cover more types of Internet-famous villages, to enhance the explanatory power of the lifecycle model of Internet-famous tourist destinations. At the same time, further in-depth exploration is needed on the path and impact mechanism of transforming the information flow of Internet-famous villages into tourist flow, as well as determining the conversion rate of different types of tourist destinations.

The relationship between ecosystem services (ES) and human well-being (HWB) is a central issue in the science and practice of sustainable development, and numerous studies have mushroomed in recent decades. However, the diverse frameworks, approaches, and methods used in studying the ES-HWB relationship have rarely been reviewed systematically. Thus, here we provide an overview of the research frameworks, approaches, and methods for studying the ES-HWB relationship. In addition, we discuss future research directions. Our review shows that research frameworks for studying the ES-HWB relationship can be classified into four types, including frameworks related to the Entitlement and Capacity Approach, the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response framework, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment framework, and the Ecosystem Services Cascade framework. The four types of frameworks differ in their origins, core elements, and application scenarios, but show similarities in their construction logic and inherent assumptions. Methods for analyzing the ES-HWB relationship can be categorized as direct valuation, statistical analysis, model simulation, and qualitative assessment. To facilitate ES and HWB relationship research, future studies need to update the research framework, innovate research methods based on the recently developed method (e.g., machine learning), and develop coherent guidelines for indicator selection and quantification.

The signing and implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) have provided crucial external opportunities for the high-quality development of China's agricultural products trade. This paper uses the social network analysis method to characterize the agricultural products trade network, and utilizes the extended gravity model to analyze the influencing factors in agricultural products trade within the RCEP region. The results show that: (1) The spatial cohesion of the global agricultural products trade network continues to increase, the connectivity is significantly improved, and the trade scale continues to expand, with a distinctive "center-periphery" structure. (2) RCEP member countries demonstrate a clear trend of diversified import patterns, coupled with steady growth in exports. The number of global agricultural products trade partners continues to rise, leading to a differentiation in trade status and gradually forming a single-core structure centered around China. (3) The improvement in the quality of economic institutions and the signing of Free Trade Agreement (FTA) contribute to enhancing the agricultural products trade environment, reducing trade costs, and promoting agricultural products trade. It is suggested that China should fully utilize the opportunity of RCEP implementation, exert its core influence within the RCEP region, promote the implementation of RECP high-quality rules, form a highly complementary agricultural products market within the region, and enhance the export competitiveness of agricultural products.

With China's urban development entering an era of ''stock-based growth'', urban regeneration has risen to a strategic level of constructing a new national development pattern and promoting high-quality urban development. The practice of urban regeneration has gradually shifted from focusing mainly on the reconstruction and transformation of the physical environment to a sustainable urban regeneration model that considers economic, social, and environmental goals. However, there is still a lack of a systematic and comprehensive theoretical framework for sustainable urban regeneration to guide research and practice. Therefore, this paper attempts to use the Theory of the Production of Space as the foundation, combined with an analysis of urban regeneration practices in China over recent decades, to construct a systematic and comprehensive theoretical framework for sustainable urban regeneration in Chinese context from the perspective of spatial reproduction. This theoretical framework includes five core elements: sustainable regeneration goals, government, market, society, and spatial reproduction. It summarizes the composition, power, capital, and interests of the three categories of stakeholders (government, market, and society) and their different focuses and modes of competition within the reproduction operation mechanism. The paper suggests that a sustainable urban regeneration model should emphasize both comprehensive value and benefits in spatial reproduction and equitable distribution, as well as consider sustainable pathways for spatial reproduction under the constraints of limited regeneration capital.

Utilizing green financial policies to promote green transformation of enterprises is not only a requirement for high-quality development of enterprises, but also an important part of building a green financial theory with Chinese characteristics. Selecting A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2008 to 2021 as research samples, a PSM-DID model is employed with the Green Credit Guidelines as a natural experiment. This study establishes an evaluation index system from five dimensions: green production, green innovation, environmental quality, social sharing, and green system to comprehensively evaluate the green development of enterprises, and explores the effects and mechanisms of green credit policies on the green development of enterprises. Research has found that the implementation of green credit policies has significantly promoted the green development of enterprises, and improved the levels of green production, green innovation, environmental quality, and green institution. From the perspective of enterprise investment structure, it has been verified that green credit policies can facilitate the green development of enterprises through investment duration, investment risk bearing capacity, and digital investment. From a dimensional perspective, emphasizing long-term investment can help improve green production, green innovation and environmental quality for enterprises. The increase in investment risk bearing capacity is conducive to enhancing the level of green production, innovation, and institutional management for enterprises. The raising of digital investment helps to improve the green institutional management of enterprises. Heterogeneity testing found that green credit policies have a significant promoting effect on the green development of small-scale enterprises, enterprises in central and western regions, and enterprises in high-intensity environmental regulation areas.

Collaborative governance by multiple subjects is an inevitable requirement to promote high-quality development of comprehensive land consolidation in the context of rural revitalization. It is also an effective path to integrate multiple resource elements, coordinate the actions of multiple subjects, and improve governance efficiency. This article first constructs a logical framework for multi-subject collaborative governance of comprehensive land consolidation from the perspective of organizational relationships. Using G twon, J county, Hubei province as a case study, this research constructs a multi-subject collaborative governance network through social network analysis, covering command transmission, resource flow, and information communication. It then examines the network's structural features and employs exponential random graph models to explore the networks' underlying mechanisms, both internal and external. The results show that: (1) The density of the three networks in the comprehensive land consolidation in the case area is low, and a closely connected multi-subject collaborative governance system has not yet been formed. (2) The command delivery network and resource flow network have a typical "core-edge" structure and "small world" characteristics. There are command delivery clusters centered on county governments and town governments, and resource flow clusters centered on construction enterprises. A large number of rural collectives and villagers are located on the edge of the network and do not play a major role. (3) The formation of the three networks is affected to varying degrees by endogenous mechanisms such as reciprocity, core-periphery effects, transitive closure effects, and connectivity effects, as well as exogenous mechanisms such as subject attributes and entrainment effects. Based on this, it is proposed that in order to improve the effectiveness of collaborative governance by multiple subjects in comprehensive land consolidation, the stabilizing role of core subjects should be strengthened, diversified participation channels should be built, and the endogenous motivation of rural collectives and villagers should be brought into play.

The rapid development of urbanization has placed traditional village cultural landscapes at risk of decline. Tourism-induced production and consumption of landscape symbols offer new perspectives for the protection and revitalization of traditional village cultural landscapes in the new era. Using actor-network theory and taking Huangling village in Wuyuan county, Jiangxi, as a case study, this research explores the process and mechanisms of tourism placemaking under the symbolization of the "Shaiqiu" cultural landscape. The results show that: (1) Huangling Tourism Company plays a pivotal role in the local tourism development, acting as a key actor in the symbolization of the "Shaiqiu" landscape, mobilizing diverse actors through interessement, enrolment and mobilisation. (2) The tourism development in Huangling village undergoes two stages: the shaping of the core symbol of "Shaiqiu" and the integration of the generalized "Shaiqiu" landscape symbol. Throughout this evolution, the obligatory passage point (OPP) of the actor network shifts from "Develop rural tourism, revitalize Huangling" to "Enhance the quality of tourism projects, create a rural tourism complex." (3) The agency of key actors, exploration of non-human actor attributes, and the intervention of significant heterogeneous actors are intrinsic mechanisms driving the local tourism development in Huangling village under the symbolization of cultural landscape. This study broadens the theoretical understanding of placemaking from the perspective of landscape symbolization, offering practical insights for the protection and renewal of traditional village cultural landscapes in the new era.

Historic district serves as dynamic urban heritage sites, whose conservation and regeneration are essential for preserving the historic context of cities, stimulating economic revitalization, and fostering high-quality development. Originating from the backdrop of cultural-tourism integration, this study establishes a comprehensive framework for assessing the effectiveness of historic district regeneration. This framework includes the regeneration of physical spaces, cultural preservation and display, and the revitalization of cultural tourism. Utilizing the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation methods, the study evaluates the regeneration effectiveness in three emblematic historic districts in Kaifeng city based on subjective assessments from participants. Enhancement pathways are delineated through the analysis of a "satisfaction-importance" matrix. The findings indicate consistently positive regeneration effectiveness with slight variations across the districts, scoring 3.801 for Shuanglong lane, 3.794 for Madao street, and 3.759 for Shudian street. Shuanglong lane exhibits superior performance in physical space regeneration, with a higher score than Shudian and Madao streets; however, Shudian and Madao streets excel in the revitalization of cultural tourism. Differences in cultural preservation and display are minimal. At the level of specific indicators, all districts generally receive positive evaluations for streetscape and revitalization recognition. Nonetheless, Shudian street and Madao street exhibit lower scores in streetscape aesthetics, infrastructure, and street maintenance, whereas Shuanglong lane requires improvements in its cultural and tourism attributes, diversity of revitalization efforts, and infrastructure. All districts need enhanced accessibility. Specific improvements include enhancing the neighborhood environment, cultural displays, and connotations in Shudian street; boosting cultural attractiveness and immersive interactions in Madao street; and increasing cultural appeal and diversifying the business model in Shuanglong lane.
