Using Huining County, located in the interprovincial border area of the Loess Plateau, as a case study, this paper examines the spatial heterogeneity of rural poverty patterns and poverty-causing factors by using geographically weighted regression (GWR) modeling. The potential accessibility indicator is employed to identify the formative mechanism of rural poverty. The results show that rural poverty is significantly correlated with county-level accessibility, water resource accessibility, and town-level accessibility. County-level accessibility and town-level accessibility have significant border effects on rural poverty. The arid characteristics in certain areas of the Loess Plateau mean that the impact of water resource accessibility on the incidence of rural poverty is second only to that of county-level accessibility. Forestland resources have a positive correlation with the incidence of rural poverty in the region dominated by farming. Finally, targeted poverty reduction policies are proposed based on the results of the analysis of poverty-causing factors. The findings derived from this paper can help other developing countries in designing their own poverty reduction policies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi9060345","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,27]],"date-time":"2020-05-27T05:35:52Z","timestamp":1590557752000},"page":"345","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Exploring the Spatial Determinants of Rural Poverty in the Interprovincial Border Areas of the Loess Plateau in China: A Village-Level Analysis Using Geographically Weighted Regression"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Tao","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Northwest Land and Resources Research Center, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"}]},{"given":"Xiaoshu","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Northwest Land and Resources Research Center, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"}]},{"given":"Menglong","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Northwest Land and Resources Research Center, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Northwest Land and Resources Research Center, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi\u2019an 710119, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"241","DOI":"10.1108\/CAER-10-2017-0192","article-title":"Poverty alleviation in rural China: Policy changes, future challenges and policy implications","volume":"10","author":"Liu","year":"2018","journal-title":"China Agric.
