| Cultural development is as important as economic development.As an important part of basic public services,promoting the equalization of basic public cultural services in urban and rural areas is conducive to the construction of a harmonious society.In the process of urban-rural integration,the Party and the state have realized the importance of cultural construction,introduced a series of policies and measures to guarantee the people’s livelihood of culture,actively promoted the establishment of modern public cultural service system,proposed to build a powerful cultural country,and placed cultural construction in a very important position.However,due to various reasons,there are still many problems in the equalization of basic public cultural services in China,among which the gap between urban and rural areas is the most prominent.The construction of rural public cultural service is a "weakness" of the construction of public service.Only by solving this "weakness",promoting the joint construction and sharing of public cultural resources at the local level,effectively protecting the basic cultural rights and interests of citizens,improving the cultural quality,and coordinating rural economic development can people truly achieve the country revitalization.This paper takes the urban and rural basic public cultural services in Dingxi City as the research object.Dingxi is an economically underdeveloped city that has long been called "the poorest city in the world",whose economic development in the province and even the country is in a relatively backward position.Therefore,the construction of rural public cultural services in Dingxi City is the most urgent part of the "weakness",and it is of great significance to take it as the research object.Firstly,this paper briefly reviews the research status at home and abroad.Secondly,according to relevant policy documents and research results,an indicator system was established to collect the index data of all districts and counties in Dingxi City from 2010 to 2019.After briefly introducing the current situation of the basic public cultural services construction in Dingxi City,this paper calculates and analyzes the equalization degree of the basic public cultural services in Dingxi City as a whole and in each district and county by using the comprehensive evaluation method and the coefficient of variation method.The study has found that the overall situation of the equalization of basic public cultural services in urban and rural areas of Dingxi City has improved,and the equalization index has been declining year by year in the past four years,and the level of equalization has increased.However,the equalization of basic public cultural services in urban and rural areas has not yet been realized.In terms of specific public cultural service projects,there are great differences between urban and rural areas in public financial input,public cultural infrastructure,public cultural activities,public cultural talents and so on.From the perspective of all districts and counties in Dingxi City,except Tongwei County,which realized the equalization of basic public cultural services between urban and rural areas in 2019,all districts and counties in other years were in an unequal or relatively unequal state.Combined with the results of field investigation and empirical evaluation,it is found that the main reasons for the differences between urban and rural areas are insufficient attention to rural public cultural construction,backward level of economic development,large income gap between urban and rural areas,single supply model,lack of communication channels for rural residents to express their needs,and imperfect supervision and performance evaluation mechanism.Finally,combined with the actual situation of Dingxi city,this paper puts forward the corresponding countermeasures and suggestions. |
