Nature-Based Solutions of Rural Revitalization: The Xunjiansi Village of Wuyuan County
摘要
This paper proposes a nature-based path for rural revitalization: for villages with rich ecological and cultural endowments, by protecting natural and cultural heritage, and utilizing market-oriented approaches to sustainably realize the value of ecosystem and cultural services, it is possible to meet the demand of urban residents for high-quality living and traveling experiences, while promoting the flow of urban capital, talent, and knowledge into rural areas, thus advancing rural revitalization. Xunjiansi Village in Wuyuan, Jiangxi, is a typical example of this model. Faced with challenges in ecology, economy, community, and culture, the team, while improving the village’s ecological infrastructure, also drew on traditional wisdom in architecture and agriculture. They implemented a “five-in-one” development model combining poetic dwelling, ecological agriculture, comprehensive local tourism-based development, learning in practice and the development of cultural and creative arts, successfully creating the Wangshan Life brand and establishing multiple links between the village’s natural environment, culture, industry, and art. The team also facilitated the establishment of a stakeholder cooperation network in the village, ensuring the sustainable development of rural revitalization through a shared governance model. This practice has yielded remarkable results in the ecological, economic, community, and cultural aspects. By realizing the value of ecosystem and cultural services, it has fostered the flow of elements and cultural interaction between urban and rural areas. The ideas and measures of this approach have the potential to be replicated and promoted in other regions.
