Study on the Coordinated Development of the Rural Infrastructure and the Rural Economy

Through the construction of the comprehensive evaluation index system and the coordination degree model of the rural infrastructure and the rural economic development level, the author carries out an empirical analysis on the rural infrastructure and economic coordinated development in the country's 31 regions. Research shows that the gap between the levels of the development of the rural infrastructure in China is large, presenting the gradually reducing gradient distribution from the east to the west. The rural infrastructure development level has significant positive correlation with the level of economic development. For those provinces of the high development level of the rural economy, the infrastructure construction level is also relatively high. From the view of the coordination degree, it presents the obvious "dumbbell" shape, and there are more provinces which belong to the high quality coordination and the serious imbalance, with the coordinated degree in the eastern regions obviously higher than that in the central and western regions. The construction of the rural infrastructure is related to the solving of "the three rural problems", and related to the improvement of the agricultural productivity and the farmers' income, which is the pillar for the rural development. Under the focus of all sectors of the community, although the country has been rapid development in all aspects, and the rural infrastructure has made great progress, still, the agricultural infrastructure in some poor areas is still unable to meet the needs of the development, affecting the progress and development of the rural areas to a large extent. The improvement of the rural infrastructure and promoting the coordinated development of the rural infrastructure and the rural economy is conducive to building a harmonious new countryside.
