“…The first step of the applied methodology (Figure 3) included the method of multivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis is widely used in spatial research as well as in rural research and delimitation [3,14,17,18,31,49,[60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72]. In this study, factor analysis (FA) was used, which relies on the principal component method (PCA) to identify key factors that describe rural areas.…”

“…The PCA is an exploratory statistical method for synthesizing information with the aim of reducing the number of variables. The goal of this method is to reduce the number of variables with minimal loss of information [69]. Basically, the PCA represents the extraction of factors of a reduced set of variables that explain most of the variance from the data set [70,73].…”

Classification of Rural Areas in Serbia: Framework and Implications for Spatial Planning

The classification of rural and urban areas presents an important topic both in scientific research and in the practice of spatial planning, regional policy making, and territorial governance. Taking into account the multidimensionality of these areas, this paper aims to provide a classification framework design for rural areas in Serbia. After selecting the relevant indicators, which were included to reflect the main demographic, economic, and physio-geographical characteristics of the Serbian rural areas, multivariate analysis (principal component method and factor analysis) was used to determine the main factors in the delimitation and classification of rural and urban areas. The last step of the conducted methodology used cluster analysis (CA) that identified six types of areas with similar characteristics. The results of this study and applied methodology can improve the existing rural–urban classifications and help planners and policy makers in the adaptation of strategic development documents.

“…For example, Wei Lin et al constructed an index system from five aspects, location conditions, village scale, economic development, service facilities and concentration degree, to measure the development potential of villages [38]. Rosa Cuesta Molestina et al classified the development of villages based on population, urbanization rate, economically active population and distance to regionally important cities [21].…”

“…The traditional qualitative method of rural typology relying on experience is no longer applicable, and the quantitative method of rural typology has become the focus of scholars [17]. Scholars often use a series of decomposition and induction methods to study village classification on the basis of identifying natural resources, human resources, social economy and other attributes [18][19][20][21]. For example, John R. Blunden et al divided the village into five categories, including urban imprint zone, high amenity and advantaged areas and so on, from the aspects of accessibility, settlement, population, socio-economic profile and telematics systems, and through the establishment of an artificial neural network model to identify the rural areas of EU countries [22].…”

Village classification schemes and development strategies have important theoretical and practical significance for realizing rural revitalization. Mountainous villages account for a large proportion of China’s rural areas, which is a challenge to rural revitalization. This study takes the mountainous region of Zhaotong, Yunnan Province, and the “National Strategic Plan for Rural Revitalization (2018–2022)” to construct an evaluative index of village development potential and a village classification model, and proposes regulation strategies and the classification and stratification public service configuration scheme for different types of village. The research results show that (1) when evaluating development potential, terrain factors such as slope and geological hazards should be included; (2) the distribution of development potential in Zhaotong has obvious heterogeneity; (3) villages in Zhaotong are divided into five types for development: agglomeration and upgrading, suburban integrated, relocated and merged, characteristic conservation, and temporarily ambiguous types; and (4) the order of greatest to least number of village types is agglomeration and upgrading > suburban integrated > relocated and merged > temporarily ambiguous > characteristic conservation. The agglomeration and upgrading, relocated and merged, and suburban integrated types are relatively concentrated spatially. The characteristic conservation and temporarily ambiguous types are more scattered. Based on the above research results, it is suggested that villages be renovated and public service facilities be configured on different levels, according to the characteristics of different village types. During renovation, special emphasis is placed on preserving the original style of the village and protecting and respecting the will of the villagers. The strategy for developing village infrastructure and public service facilities should be dynamically adjusted according to village type.

“…Segundo a FAO (2018) os resultados da classificação de estabelecimentos rurais em tipos homogêneos permitem avaliar o desempenho e as transformações pelas quais quais podem passar os grupos de produtores ao longo do tempo, além de garantir a representatividade de explorações agrícolas altamente diversificadas em pesquisas, apoiando assim a formulação, implementação e avaliação de políticas com foco em diferentes aspectos do desenvolvimento sustentável. Para Molestina et al (2020) as tipologias constituem uma ferramenta operacional para o planejamento e desenho de estratégias de desenvolvimento territorial, auxiliando a priorizar diferentes intervenções e a melhorar a articulação da gestão territorial entre os vários níveis de governo.…”

O objetivo deste trabalho é tipificar os municípios produtores de bovinos de corte do bioma Mata Atlântica a partir de dados do Censo Agropecuário 2017 e empregando técnicas de aprendizado de máquina. Tabulações especiais do censo foram necessárias para agregar os estabelecimentos agropecuários por município, com ênfase nas características técnicas dos sistemas de produção pecuária. Identificaram-se quatro grupos de municípios segundo os padrões de produção do bioma: dois grupos de alta tecnologia, um deles com destaque para confinamento; um grupo de tecnologia intermediária e outro de baixa tecnologia. O mapeamento dos distintos padrões de produção ao longo do território pode apoiar ações de pesquisa, de transferência de tecnologia e de desenvolvimento mais apropriadas às diferentes situações dos produtores.
