Objective Investigating the current status and influencing factors of rural production space reconstruction is of great significance for spatial governance and optimization in rural areas. It provides a decision-making basis for rural spatial governance and transformation development in the Qinba Mountain area of southern Shaanxi under the background of urban-rural integrated development, and serves as a reference for rural planning in other regions. Methods Taking the Qinba Mountain area of southern Shaanxi as the research object, this study used spatial analysis methods and center of gravity migration models to depict the spatiotemporal characteristics of rural production space reconstruction in this area from 2000 to 2023 and to measure its reconstruction intensity. Subsequently, an indicator system of influencing factors was constructed from four dimensions: urban-rural economic integration, social integration, population integration, and spatial integration. Factor analysis was used to examine each factor, and a multiple linear regression model was employed to verify the rationality of the factors and demonstrate their significance. On this basis, factors exerting significant effects on rural production space reconstruction across various districts and counties in the Qinba Mountain area of southern Shaanxi were analyzed. Results The results showed that the quantity of rural production space in the Qinba Mountain area of southern Shaanxi showed an upward trend, and the overall center of gravity shifted toward the southwest. The reconstruction intensity of rural production space showed significant spatiotemporal differences, with higher intensity in the central and southern regions and lower intensity in the southeastern and western regions. Factors including industrial economy, population migration, and social services had varying degrees of influence on rural production space reconstruction at different stages. Specifically, the influence ranked as: industrial economy factors > population migration factors > social service factors. Conclusion From the perspectives of the orientation, actor, and process of rural production space reconstruction, this study proposes optimization strategies including improving the industrial support system while considering multidimensional orientations, enhancing farmers′ sense of agency and strengthening coordinated governance, and optimizing the public service system and improving process supervision.
