乡村振兴背景下中西部脱贫地区产业兴旺实现路径.

The implementation of the rural revitalization strategy opens a new historical chapter for alleviating relative poverty and dealing with issues related to ‘agriculture, rural areas, and farmers.’ Industrial prosperity is the primary task and fundamental guarantee of rural revitalization. By studying the ways of evaluating industrial prosperity, the types of industries, and their key restrictive factors, this article explored the path to achieving industrial prosperity in the poverty alleviation areas in central and western China. Firstly, the article constructed a comprehensive benefit evaluation system for industrial prosperity, including four dimensions of political benefit, social benefit, economic benefit, and ecological benefit, and 12 specific indicators. These benefits should be considered no matter which type of industry is developed. Secondly, based on the comprehensive evaluation system of industrial prosperity, the AHP-FCE method was used to evaluate different types of industries, and the results based on the scores of comprehensive benefits were as follows: labor-intensive industries > rural tourism industry > characteristic handicraft industry > characteristic planting industry > characteristic breeding industry. At the same time, from the perspectives of theory, practice, and development space, the feasibility of developing labor- intensive industries in these poverty alleviation areas was supported. Based on the findings of this study, it is suggested that the rural areas in the poverty alleviation areas in central and western China should seek development beyond agricultural activities and establish industrial parks in the center of townships (towns) to undertake labor-intensive industries transferred from the eastern coastal areas. Finally, this study selected 16 potential factors restricting the development of labor-intensive industries in these areas from the four dimensions: development foundation, development concept, development elements, and development environment, and used the DEMATEL- ISM method to extract key constraints, including infrastructure, public services, endogenous power, and business environment. It was found that solving these key constraints is the premise of industrial prosperity in the poverty alleviation areas in central and western China. This research enriches the theoretical system of industrial prosperity and has strong application value. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
