Abstract
Under the background of rural revitalization, rural spatial governance is confronted with multiple challenges such as marketization, cultural identity, and modern governance technologies. Guojiazhuang Village, as a typical mountainous village in the north, its high hollowing rate and spatial capitalization phenomenon concentratedly reflect the deep-rooted contradiction in the relationship between people and land. This research is based on the theories of spatial production, locality, and governance techniques, aiming to explore innovative paths for rural spatial governance to coordinate the conflicts between traditional protection and modern development. This study adopted the critical realism methodology, constructed a hierarchical analysis framework of "phenomenon-mechanism," and comprehensively employed in-depth case studies, practical theoretical analysis, and historical-geographical materialism methods to analyze the coordination mechanism of the human-land relationship from three dimensions: horizontal, practical, and vertical. Research findings showed that the spatial governance of Guojiazhuang Village required balancing the multiple games among capital logic, traditional power, and modern planning. Its innovative practices (such as the "courtyard manager" system and the integration of digital governance) had effectively enhanced governance efficiency. Research had confirmed that the flexible governance framework and the culture-space co-evolution strategy can alleviate the impact of modernity and provide theoretical support and practical reference for rural revitalization.
