Abstract

In order to explore the influence mechanism of rural human settlement environment on rural development, this paper constructs the evaluation index system of rural human settlement environment quality from five dimensions: living conditions, infrastructure, public service, ecological environment and social culture. The evaluation index system of rural development level was constructed from three dimensions of production, life and ecology. Multiple regression model was used to test the influence of rural human settlement environment quality on rural development level. Finally, structural equation model was used to explore its influence mechanism. The results show that: (1) The quality of rural human settlements in the study area has a significant promoting effect on the level of rural development from 2013 to 2020. (2) There are significant differences in the influence of various elements of rural human settlements on the rural development level. The three dimensions of living conditions, infrastructure and ecological environment have direct promoting effects on the rural development level, and the path coefficients are 0.24, 0.5 and 0.36, respectively. The two dimensions of public service and social culture play an indirect role in promoting rural development. To some extent, the results can provide scientific decision-making basis for rural human settlement environment improvement and rural sustainable development in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River.
