Research On The Adaptability Of The Urbanization Policy Of China’s County Towns

Since the reform and opening up,our country’s urbanization work has been steadily advanced,and the urbanization rate will reach 64.72% by the end of 2021.However,at the same time,many megacities and some central urban areas in China are currently overpopulated and overloaded with functions,resulting in "big city disease" and a series of social problems.In 2020,the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19 th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to "promote urbanization construction with county towns as an important carrier".The county seat is an important part of China’s urban system and a key link for the integrated development of urban and rural areas.In the short term,it is conducive to stimulating investment,promoting consumption and advancing the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand.In the medium and long term,it is conducive to optimizing the spatial pattern of urbanization,promoting the integrated development of urban and rural areas and enhancing the people’s sense of gain.Under the guidance of promoting the urbanization road development concept with county towns as an important carrier,governments at all levels have issued relevant policies one after another,focusing on the urbanization construction of county towns in terms of strategic requirements,key tasks,and supporting elements.Generally speaking,policies are introduced to solve problems and address the discrepancy between needs and reality.Whether the current policy documents are compatible with the county urbanization construction practice is a question worthy of research and discussion.Therefore,based on the perspective of policy text analysis,this paper conducts an adaptability study on the county urbanization policy text.This article starts from the perspective of policy text analysis,refers to the existing research results,combines the content of the policy text and constructs an analysis framework.On the basis of the theoretical framework,the adaptability standard is proposed including the adaptation of policy tools "target-function",the adaptation of policy content "convergence-dissimilation",the adaptation of policy strength "capability-contradiction",and the three-dimensional analysis framework one-to-one correspondence.Secondly,according to the standard,66 policy documents were selected.The analysis unit of the policy text was defined,the sample coding was performed,and the reliability and validity of the policy coding data were verified,which ensure the scientificity and accuracy of the data.Third,a descriptive statistical analysis is made on the main body,type,time and space of the policy.Then analyze the content of the policy,specifically from the perspective of policy tool dimensions,policy construction field,policy strength and three-dimensional intersection.Based on the results of the text analysis,this study draws the following conclusions:(1)The use of policy tools is uneven,and the adaptability of "target-function" is not strong;(2)the distribution of policy content is singular,and the adaptation of "convergence-differentiation" is not strong;(3)the policy control ability is weak,and adaptability of "capacity-contradiction" is not strong.Then the following optimization strategies are put forward:(1)Optimize the structure of the use of policy tools,effectively increase demand-based policy tools,rationally adjust the use ratio of supply-based and environmental policy tools,and focus on the integration of policy tools and policy construction fields;(2)Improve policies Content field construction,improve local policy innovation capabilities,and coordinate the advancement of political,economic,social,cultural,and ecological civilization construction;(3)Speed up the promulgation of special county urbanization laws and regulations and the improvement of implementation rules by various functional departments,and improve the overall policy strength of the county urbanization policy system.
