As urbanization advances and societal shifts unfold, the integration of rural development and activity spaces has become a focal point in academic discourse. This study aims to explore the synergistic effects of the creative market model on rural activity spaces, dissecting its role in shaping these spaces, enhancing community engagement, and generating socio-economic benefits. Empirical findings highlight the affirmative role of the creative market model in this fusion. The research on community participation and spatial design reveals how creative markets enhance residents' sense of involvement and explores the influence of activity space design on community interaction. This study, by thoroughly examining the integration of the creative market model and rural activity spaces, offers theoretical and empirical support for advancing rural development.
