一、导论由于城市和乡村经济社会发展的不均衡,出现了城乡二元经济结构,制约了我国经济的进一步发展。党的十六大以来,统筹城乡发展,推进城乡一体化已成为我国的一项重大国策。因此建立科学的指标体系评价城乡一体化进程,并测评湖南省及各市州城乡一体化程度,对促进湖南省统筹城乡发展具有重要的理论意义和实践意义。 I. Introduction Due to the unbalanced economic and social development between urban and rural areas, the dual economic structure of urban and rural areas has emerged, which has restricted the further development of our economy. Since the 16th CPC National Congress, the overall planning of urban and rural areas and the integration of urban and rural areas have become a major national policy of our country. Therefore, it is of great theoretical and practical significance to establish a scientific index system to evaluate the process of urban-rural integration and evaluate the degree of integration between urban and rural areas in Hunan Province and all cities and states.
