Abstract:
The sustainable development of rural landscape has become an important link to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs), so it is urgent to establish a scientific and localized evaluation system for the sustainable development of rural landscape resources in China. The rural areas in Xindu District of Chengdu City were selected as the research subject, based on the degree of human activity involvement in the landscape, an evaluation system was constructed from three dimensions: natural landscape resources, semi-natural landscape resources, and artificial landscape resources. Guided by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), 27 specific indicators were selected, and an evaluation framework was established. The entropy method was employed to assign weights, enabling a quantitative assessment of 127 administrative villages in Xindu District. The findings revealed that: (1) There are significant spatial disparities in the sustainable development levels of rural landscape resources in Xindu District, and the sustainabled development level of rural landscape resources was significantly correlated with urbanizaiton areas and major river basins; (2) The sustainable development status of rural landscape resources in Xindu District was uneven, with a relatively small proportion of villages achieving high scores; (3) The sustainability of landscape resources mainly relied on natural and semi-natural landscape resources. By combining the SDGs with landscape categories, this study achieved the localization application of SDGs in this small-scale rural area, which provided a solution to the long-standing issue of scale mismatch of SDGs implementation, and provided a scientific foundation for the fine evaluation of rural landscape resources, rural planning and natural resource management practices in Xindu District.
