“…In terms of research areas, the structural dimensions of rural change and their transition characteristics have been widely documented in the literature in recent decades [2]. Empirical cases exist not only in the Global North, such as in Britain [42,43], France [44], Spain [45], Italy [19,26], and the United States, but also in the Global South, such as in African and South American countries [46]. In China, different areas have been studied, such as the Bohai Rim region, the capital region, the mountain area, and the central region [47][48][49][50].…”

China’s distinct rural revitalization process has attracted global attention due to its impressive speed, massive scale, and policy interventions. A relatively limited amount of research has been conducted on how rural transition characteristics and policy mechanisms are interrelated at the micro level. To fill this research gap, following the main research thread of dividing rural development stages, revealing transition characteristics and exploring policy mechanisms, this paper utilizes a participatory rural appraisal, a landscape metrics analysis, and in-depth interviews to analyze the spatial transition laws of Dayu Village. First, the results show that the village experienced three stages from 1990 to 2020: strict homestead control, village relocation, and land consolidation. Second, the village exhibits multidimensional transition characteristics. With a reduced rural settlement area, regular patch formation, and a dense interior subdivision of rural houses, the land use layout changed from homogeneous to multiple nests. As the industrial structure became more diversified, the villagers’ livelihoods became more differentiated. Inflows of tourists and migrants changed the population structure, causing social relations to become defamiliarized. Moreover, mechanism research finds that policy can promote rural settlement transition by allocating land resources and regulating village behavior. The policy’s scope expanded from a single settlement to the whole village, optimizing external forces, with village behavior effects acting as an internal force. The degree of matching between policy formulation and villagers’ needs is the key to promoting the transition of rural settlements. This research deepens the understanding of the transition laws of suburban villages in megacities in developing countries at the micro scale and provides a reference for land policies in similar villages.

“…In terms of research scale, previous research studies investigated transition characteristics at various scales, including provincial, city, county, and township levels [43,47,52,53]. However, due to the difficulty of obtaining spatial data on homesteads, research at the micro-village scale remains insufficient.…”

“…Since the 1990s, globalization and information technology has developed rapidly, and the global flows of a large number of physical and virtual factors have increased significantly, which leads to the fact that mobility has become an important field in geography and formed a "new flow paradigm" that emphasized dynamic research [1][2][3]. With the expansion and distribution of modern transportation and information infrastructure, new economic business and high-quality public services towards grassroots villages, the flows of population, capital, information, traffic and service in rural areas have grown vigorously, and together, they formed a closely interaction and open rural network [4][5][6][7]. In the factor flows network, the connection between urban and rural areas is increasingly enhanced, and the rural socio-economic operation has greater location elasticity, indicating that rural areas show obvious mobility.…”

The networks of factor flows in rural areas are the main support for rural revitalization, which has become one of the research trends in rural geography. Taking a typical industrial town in China as an example, the study explored the operating characteristics of rural factor flow networks and the relations of multi-factor flows based on the social survey method and fine-grained flows data. Results showed that population flows, capital flows and policy flows increased significantly in rural areas. Thereinto, population flows, especially labor flows, mainly ran into the townships and industrial cluster villages, so did capital inflows and outflows, while policy flows ran around the township. The villages with dense population and capital flows formed the "central villages", which had exceeded the township in the two flow networks. Policy flows and capital flows played a guiding role in population flows, so did the policy flows on the capital flows. Meanwhile, the population flows and the capital flows could reinforce each other. In conclusion, a multi-center structure network with the separation of economic center and administrative center had been formed in rural areas. And there was a close interaction between these factor flows. Furthermore, the theoretical model of town-village symbiotic network was constructed.
