Abstract:

Identifying the relationship between rural types and community resilience is of great significance to promoting sustainable rural development in arid areas. As a case of the Minqin Oasis in the typical arid area of Northwest China, based on 582 survey questionnaires of farmers, the entropy method, gray correlation model and composite index method are used to define the rural types, measure the resilience of rural communities, and clarify the relationship between rural types and communities. (1) Among the 71 administrative villages sampled in the study area, 40 are traditional non-agricultural villages, which are widely distributed in oasis; 17 are traditional agricultural villages, mainly distributed in the Hu District; 6 are new agricultural villages, distributed in oasis Ba District and Quanshan District; 8 are non-agricultural villages, which are distributed in a circular distribution around the county seat. (2) Minqin Oasis community resilience presents a spatial pattern of high in the south and low in the north, except for the towns of Donghu and Xiqu in the Hu District, the resilience of the rest of the region is generally at the upper-middle level. (3) The resilience of different types of rural communities in Minqin Oasis is: traditional non-agricultural type(0.520)>new type of agriculture(0.495)>non-agricultural type(0.472)>traditional agricultural type(0.453). Based on the above results, suggestions for improving the resilience of Minqin Oasis are put forward.

Key words: rural type, rural community resilience, arid area, Minqin Oasis
