Abstract: Rural settlements bear the important functions of farmers' production and life, which is the core expression of the human-land relationship in rural areas. In order to meet the production demand, farmers tend to establish settlements close to various industries. The development of secondary and tertiary industries in rural areas is backward, and settlements are mainly scattered around cultivated land. In view of the scattered distribution, economic poverty and functional weakness in rural settlements, the study on the consolidation mode based on local conditions will effectively promote the process of rural spatial reconstruction. Industrial development, as the core power of rural revitalization, is a key factor in the planning of rural settlements. Under the background of "national spatial planning" policy and "rural revitalization" policy, rural development should be comprehensive and multi-dimensional, emphasizing the people-oriented, spatial carrier and industrial development as the core driving force to realize the coordinated development of rural nature, society, economy and ecological system, as well as the comprehensive improvement of production, ecology, life and cultural functions. As an activity to improve farmers' production, living conditions and rural ecological environment, rural settlement consolidation should emphasize the evaluation of total factors of the relationship between people and the life community of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grasses, as well as the coordination of production, life and ecological space. Existing studies on industry and consolidation mode mostly focus on the accessibility, suitability and coordination of production space, and seldom discuss the multi-dimensional guidance and driving effect of industry status and development prospect. In terms of the study areas, there is little attention paid to the township. As "industry first" is the key to "targeted poverty alleviation" policy, researches which study in township areas will be more accurate and effective to implement the "industrial poverty alleviation" policy. In the above conditions, this paper took Wuyang Township as a case study, which is located in western Hubei eco-zone. Based on industrial guiding and overall coordination, we carried out comprehensive assessments of the development potential in rural settlements dominated by multi-dimensional industry, and identified the consolidation modes and development directions according to industry status, industry radiation and industry convergence. The results showed that the consolidation modes of the study area mainly included five categories: comprehensive development mode, steady industry development mode, industry radiation mode, industry convergence mode and industry cultivation mode, which were distributed in circles with Wuyang Village as the centre. Differentiated consolidation modes of rural settlements are the keys to ensure the actual implementation of consolidation plans, this work constructs the novel consolidation modes and zoning of rural settlements under the guidance of multi-dimensional industry, which can make the regional characteristic organic industry and tourism industry reach the coordination stage, guarantee the rural ecological security, and promote the integrated development of industry. What is more, this paper breaks through the restriction of administrative boundaries, so as to combine the capital and technology of advanced villages with the natural resources and labour force of backward villages under the condition of clear property rights. In this way, we can solve the shortage of unbalanced development among villages, strengthening the collective economy and promoting the rapid development of rural local industries. This work is expected to contribute to the implementation of the "rural revitalization" strategy and the "industrial poverty alleviation" policy.
