ABSTRACT

This study examines the multifaceted impacts of eco-industry development in rural regions, aiming to assess its influence on the ecological environment, human settlements, quality of life, economic level, and green awareness. Employing field surveys and in-depth interviews, this research gathered 228 valid datasets from six villages across three counties in Xinyang City. It systematically analyzed the impact of eco-industry development on these variables through multiple regression analysis. The findings reveal that eco-industry significantly enhances the rural ecological environment and human settlements, improves residents' quality of life and economic status, and bolsters farmers' green awareness. Additionally, the study identifies a strong positive correlation between the ecological environment and human settlements, illustrating the dual benefits of eco-industry in fostering both environmental and economic advancements. Consequently, the paper recommends that policies should further support eco-industries to foster the harmonious development of ecological, economic, and social benefits in rural areas.
