Abstract:
In view of the “three-rural” issues under our peculiar socio-economic system, profound understanding of urban-rural relations becomes a key point in breaking new countryside construction stalemate. Through analyzing rural development characteristics in different stages of urban-rural evolution of urbanization process, the article compared new rural construction with rural development in Japan and Korea in order to explore new opportunities of new countryside construction. New countryside construction strategy was the extension of urban functions and ultimate achievement of a new urban-rural integration in the process of the division of the regional function from the axis of the urbanization level based on regional differences.
