摘要 The rural revitalization strategy has prompted a shift in the demand for landscape architecture talents, emphasizing local contexts, practical implementation, interdisciplinary expertise, and applied skills. Currently, the cultivation of landscape architecture talents in China faces several challenges, including training objectives that are disconnected from the realities of rural areas, limited incorporation of local content in curricula, superficial practical training, formalistic approaches to industry-education integration, and inadequate development of local sentiment. These issues hinder the effective support of constructing harmonious and aesthetically pleasing rural villages. This article, grounded in the strategic framework of rural revitalization, develops an applied talent cultivation model characterized by “one core, three dimensions, four integrations, and five guarantees”. Drawing on rural practice cases from various local universities, it proposes a replicable and scalable reform pathway. Using West Yunnan University of Applied Sciences as a case study, the article synthesizes its practical experiences in localization, applicability, and collaboration. Moreover, it offers a valuable reference for comparable institutions with landscape architecture major aiming to tailor their curricula to rural demands and to develop applied talents who “possess agricultural knowledge, demonstrate a commitment to agriculture, and actively promote agricultural development”.
