Comprehensive land consolidation (CLC) is a systematic initiative aimed at optimizing spatial patterns of land use and revitalizing idle rural land resources. It is a pivotal policy instrument for enhancing rural resilience and possesses significant practical implications. Grounded in resilience theory, this study establishes an evaluation system for rural resilience, assesses resilience levels in Huzhou from 2003 to 2023, and investigates its spatiotemporal characteristics employing the entropy-weighted TOPSIS method and geodetector model. Furthermore, this research identifies the driving factors and dynamic mechanisms through which comprehensive land consolidation impacts rural resilience. The study area is categorized into four zones based on land use types to elucidate regional heterogeneity. The findings indicate that comprehensive land consolidation markedly enhances rural resilience, which progresses from slow initial growth to accelerated improvement, ultimately culminating in leapfrog development. Spatially, rural resilience exhibits a “central-high, marginal-low” distribution, characterized by core-periphery agglomeration. Notably, the key driving factors vary significantly across different regions. Mechanistically, comprehensive land consolidation bolsters rural resilience through a sequential pathway that begins with consolidation intervention, which activates critical factors. This activation leads to structural reorganization within the rural framework, followed by the optimization of functions that enhance overall resilience. In terms of policy implications, it is essential to adopt differentiated consolidation strategies tailored to regional resource endowments, emphasizing the optimization of production-living-ecological spaces to foster integrated and sustainable rural development.
