摘要

The construction of the Three Gorges Project has triggered profound transformations in the Rural Production Space System (RPSS) of the Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA), characterized by land submergence, population resettlement, and industrial restructuring. While existing studies have explored these changes from sectoral perspectives, the application of life cycle theory to analyze RPSS evolution remains a critical gap. This study develops a novel analytical framework integrating life cycle theory to systematically examine the spatiotemporal dynamics of RPSS transformation in the TGRA from 1990 to 2020. We identify three core subsystems population, land, and industry and reveal their distinct transition trajectories: population and land transformations peaked before 2010, driven by urbanization and resettlement policies, while industrial transformation surged post-2010 under endogenous growth mechanisms. Notably, the RPSS transitioned from a “blood transfusion” model (external resource dependency) to a “blood production” model (self-sustaining development), highlighting the interplay of policy interventions and internal adaptations. Theoretically, this study pioneers the integration of life cycle theory into rural spatial system analysis, offering methodological advancements for complex system transitions. Finally, we propose actionable strategies “green industrial transformation, urban-rural integration, and institutional reforms” to address sustainability challenges in the TGRA, with implications for global regions impacted by large-scale hydraulic projects.
