Abstract:
      In this study, investment intensity and technical efficiency evaluation methods were employed to analyze the intensity of cultivated land development and utilization, as well as the driving factors, across different scales in Shaanxi Province, including provincial, regional, and municipal levels. The results showed that: (1) From the perspective of the intensity differentiation index P value of input factors per unit cultivated land area in Shaanxi Province, there was not much difference in labor and machinery input (P=0.409 and P=0.649, respectively) and they were relatively uniform at different scales. However, the input of biological chemistry exhibited significant differentiation characteristics, with P values of 0.847, 1.026, and 1.472 for chemical fertilizer, pesticide, and agricultural film elements, respectively. (2) Based on the explanatory power (q value) of the influencing factors, the driving forces affecting the differentiation in cultivated land development intensity in Shaanxi Province were ranked as follows: urbanization rate (0.866) > cultivated land quality (0.855) > per capita disposable income of farmers (0.551) > cultivated land topography (0.485) > gross domestic product (0.210) > cultivated land area per laborer (0.202). The influence of socio\|economic conditions and natural basic conditions of cultivated land on the intensity of cultivated land utilization was higher than that of cultivated land management and utilization factors, and the socio\|economic conditions were the dominant factors determining cultivated land utilization intensity. (3) The development intensity of cultivated land in 87.85% of counties in Shaanxi Province was basically in the highest profit configuration, and biological chemistry input factors were the main limiting factors for cultivated land production efficiency in Shaanxi Province.
