How to improve the county industry carrying capacity and population gathering capacity

The county seat is located in the "city end of the township", is the basic space unit to communicate the big city and the rural society, is an important carrier to jointly promote rural revitalization and new urbanization. The proposal of "industrial carrying capacity" and "population gathering capacity" provides direction guidance and action follow for further planning to enhance the comprehensive carrying capacity of the county and achieve high-quality development of the county.

In China's urbanization pattern and urban layout, although the number of county seats is large, the economy is underdeveloped, the infrastructure is weak, the supply of public services is short, the quality of the living environment is poor, and the comprehensive carrying capacity is obviously insufficient, especially in the carrying capacity of industry and population gathering capacity. The county industry carrying capacity refers to the level and scale of industrial development that the county or county-level administrative region can accommodate and support, which reflects the potential and ability of the region in terms of economic development. Many counties in the central and western regions have a single industrial structure, lack supporting services and supply chains, and are slow to update infrastructure and the business environment, resulting in insufficient industrial carrying capacity and difficulties in industrial upgrading and transformation. The population gathering capacity of the county seat refers to the ability of the county seat or county administrative area to attract and accommodate the population, which reflects the attraction and carrying capacity of the area in terms of population flow and residence. Compared with big cities, the employment capacity and attraction of county seats are limited, coupled with the unreasonable allocation of resources such as education and medical care, and the lack of balanced access to basic public services, etc., the population gathering capacity of county seats in some areas is low, and there is even a serious population loss problem.

Industrial carrying capacity and population gathering capacity promote and support each other, and jointly promote the sustainable development of the county. On the one hand, a county with a strong industrial carrying capacity is often able to attract more population inflows, forming a population aggregation effect. On the other hand, the enhancement of population gathering capacity can also provide more labor and market demand for cities, and promote the development and growth of industries. Therefore, to improve the county's industrial carrying capacity and population gathering capacity requires overall consideration, systematic planning, overall promotion, and a good deal of infrastructure, public services, rural revitalization, population, characteristic industries, vocational college education and other issues.

We will improve county infrastructure. Infrastructure is an important support for economic and social development. Compared with the city, there are still obvious gaps in the construction of infrastructure such as transportation, energy, water conservancy and communication in our county. County infrastructure construction should be suitable for local characteristics, based on miniaturization, decentralization, and ecological methods, and reduce construction, operation and maintenance costs. In the planning and layout of infrastructure, the combination of large dispersion and small regional concentration should be advocated, and distributed energy, domestic waste and sewage treatment facilities should be arranged according to local conditions. Actively explore the construction of new infrastructure, implement the digital transformation of public infrastructure, improve the level of digital, networked and intelligent infrastructure, and develop smart county.

We will strengthen county public service facilities. Public service facilities are an important carrier for ensuring and improving people's livelihood and strengthening and innovating social management. With the development of economy and society, the people have a higher demand for public service facilities and a new requirement for the equalization of basic public services. It is necessary to give county-level governments more autonomy in the integrated use of resources, strengthen the comprehensive service capacity of county towns, enhance the public service functions of townships, and build townships into regional centers serving farmers. It is necessary to optimize the spatial layout of basic public service facilities in counties, take districts as basic units, and promote the extension and coverage of county public services to the countryside.

Rural revitalization will be led by the integrated development of urban and rural areas in counties. It is necessary to highlight the role of the county seat as the first line of defense to firmly hold the "two bottom lines", rationally develop the county seat in the main producing areas of agricultural products to ensure national food security, focus on the national rural revitalization to help counties and poverty alleviation relocation of large and medium-sized centralized resettlement areas, and hold the bottom line of no large-scale return to poverty. Strengthen the construction of "front-line headquarters" at the county level, focus on industries to promote rural development, steadily and steadily promote rural construction actions, strengthen and improve rural governance, and coordinate the three key tasks of rural development, rural construction and rural governance.

Retain the current population of the county. Population loss is one of the main bottlenecks restricting the transformation and development of county. It is necessary to retain people with "real money" treatment, vigorously develop the county industry, do everything possible to create more employment opportunities, promote local employment of returnees and improve wages and welfare conditions, and "happy work" to drive "living in peace". We need to retain people with universally accessible, high-quality and balanced basic public services, promote the appropriate concentration of population and public service resources, accelerate the development of tight county-level medical and health communities, urban and rural education complexes, and county-rural and rural old-age service networks, strengthen livelihood security, assistance and assistance, and integrate urban and rural basic public service systems and unified standards. It is necessary to retain people with a beautiful living environment, take the county as a unit to comprehensively promote the improvement of rural living environment, and create a livable ecological environment by improving air quality, increasing green coverage, and protecting water resources to attract people to stay in the county.

We will vigorously develop industries with special characteristics according to local conditions. Industrial revitalization is the top priority of rural revitalization. The core factor of the comprehensive carrying capacity of the county is the industry. The development of characteristic industries determines the economic development level of the county to a certain extent, and the economic development level further determines the population gathering ability. It is necessary to base on the basic advantages of county characteristic industries, transform and upgrade traditional industries, cultivate and develop emerging industries, and strive to create a higher level of county characteristic industrial clusters by building chains, extending chains, supplementing chains, and strengthening chains. It is necessary to continue to optimize the business environment, simplify approval procedures, reduce start-up costs, provide preferential policies and tax support, and attract more enterprises and investors to the county to develop characteristic industries. It is necessary to promote the integrated development of urban and rural industries, build a modern rural industrial system around the integrated development of rural primary, secondary and tertiary industries, and enhance the endogenous impetus for county development.

We will vigorously develop vocational education colleges and universities. The improvement of the county's industrial carrying capacity and population gathering capacity cannot be separated from the support of talents, especially high-quality technical and skilled talents. It is necessary to closely align with market development needs, industrial upgrading direction and technological change trends, and build high-quality and distinctive vocational education colleges and universities to provide skill support and talent supplement for county development. It is necessary to strengthen the functional positioning of new vocational education colleges to serve the "last mile" of rural revitalization, rely on county-level vocational education colleges to coordinate vocational education and training institutions at the township and village levels, strengthen the construction of adult cultural and technical schools and farmer schools (teaching points, farmer night schools), and empower county vocational education pilot community colleges.
