Abstract

Revitalizing idle rural residential properties is crucial for advancing the "Three-Right Separation" reform of rural land use rights, revitalizing rural assets, and achieving common prosperity in ethnic minority regions. In the multi-ethnic karst regions of Guangxi, population outflow has led to a large number of idle rural housing units; however, under current revitalization models, the four key rural stakeholders—formal institutions agencies, enterprises, rural communities, and individual farmers—are constrained by both explicit institutional barriers and implicit cultural and clan-based obstacles, resulting in inefficient collaboration. Based on field research conducted in ethnic autonomous counties such as Dahua and Rongshui in Guangxi, this paper distinguishes between explicit collaborative conflicts and deep-seated implicit barriers, constructs a "Technology– Institution– Relationship" tripartite analytical framework, and proposes tailored countermeasures at the cultural, institutional, digital, and zonal levels, thereby providing a reference for revitalizing rural residential properties in the southwestern ethnic minority regions.
