The Impact of Action Planning on the Development of Peripheral Rural Villages: An Empirical Analysis of Rural Construction in Yanhe Village, China
As a central factor for building, smart and sustainable regions innovation requires the effective combination of local knowledge with expert knowledge, as well as the support of an extensive network. However, due to geographic distance, less agglomeration, and insufficient capacity, rural regions have fewer opportunities to actively communicate with the outside world, which limits their ability to learn and absorb external knowledge. Quite a lot of spatial planning has greatly improved ICT infrastructure in rural regions, but cannot guarantee the improvement of the knowledge level and innovation ability there. How can we effectively enhance knowledge learning and innovation networks in the construction of rural regions? This paper takes the rural construction of Yanhe Village in Hubei Province, China as a case, and discusses the issues mentioned above. Located in the southwest mountainous area of Hubei Province, Yanhe Village is relatively remote. It faces many problems, such as serious environmental pollution, economic backwardness. Since 2003, with the help of Green Cross NGO, the village committee led the villagers to carry out a large number of construction projects. The environment and economy of the village have been rapidly improved. More significantly, after the withdrawal of the NGO, the economy of Yanhe Village has maintained steady growth and the environment has been well maintained. Via literature research, fieldwork, and in-depth interviews, this research finds that besides the infrastructure improvement, the curriculum training conducted by Green Cross NGO considerably helps to enhance knowledge learning. In this process, local elites were effectively driven by external knowledge disseminators and became local knowledge disseminators. The seminars and collective construction actions carried out by the village collective itself further digested the new knowledge. As the initiative of village committee members, township and village enterprises and migrant workers grow, and the formal and informal relationships between a multitude of actors became richer. This article emphasizes that, besides ICT infrastructure, it is very important to provide training and guidance to villagers, especially the localelites. Moreover, diverse subjects should be encouraged to participate in rural construction. The resulting innovative environment makes the introduction and implementation of innovations possible.
