Abstract:

In the context of accelerating urban-rural integration and regional coordinated development， scientific evaluation of the level of urban-rural integration development in the Yellow River Basin and in-depth exploration of the formation mechanism of spatial differences play an important role in constructing the new pattern of integrated development of urban and rural areas. The dual logic of urban-rural integration development is introduced into the measurement framework， and the global entropy method and the improved coupling coordination degree model are used to evaluate the urban-rural integration development index and sub-dimensional index in the Yellow River Basin from 2010 to 2020， Dagum Keeny coefficient method is used to analyze the spatial difference of urban-rural integration development level， and the formation mechanism of spatial difference is explored based on QAP method. The results show that the urban-rural integration development index and all dimensions index of the Yellow River Basin show an upward trend， but there is an obvious spatial imbalance. The spatial difference of the urban-rural integration development index is gradually reduced， which mainly comes from the inter-regional net difference， with the largest intra-regional difference in the upper reaches and the largest regional difference between the upper reaches and the lower reaches. The difference of urban-rural industrial integration is the most important driving factor， followed by the difference of urban-rural social integration， urban-rural spatial integration and urban-rural life integration.

Key words: dual logic, Yellow River Basin, urban-rural integration development, spatial differences
