Analysis of Network Structure Characteristics and Promotion Path of Provincial Digital Government Development in China
In the era of big data,there is a certain research value on the effectiveness of inter-pro-vincial digital government development in China and how to further promote the construction of digital government.With 31 provinces and cities(excluding Hong Kong,Macao and Taiwan)as the research object,a comprehensive evaluation index system for digital government development was constructed from five dimensions:infrastructure support,digital resource supply,quality supervision,platform support,and performance ability.The index scores and digital government development ranking of each province were determined by entropy method.On this basis,social network analysis is used to reveal the distribution pattern and network structure characteristics of digital government associated networks,and fsQCA method is used to empirically explore the configuration path to promote high performance ability.The research results show that there is still a certain gap in the development of digital government among provinces,and the digital government network is dense in the south and sparse in the north.The development of digital government is affected by multiple factors,which can be summarized as environment-driven,foundation-oriented and subject-driven.
