Digital Hunan construction serves as a pivotal strategy for fostering new quality productive forces in Hunan Province.Using the panel data of 14 cities(prefectures)in Hunan Province from 2011 to 2021,this study constructs an evaluation index system for the construction of Digital Hunan from six dimensions,including digital infrastructure,digital industrialization,industrial digitization,digital innovation capability,digital government level,and digital inclusive finance.It employs box plot analysis,Gini coefficient,spatial econometric models,and spatial correlation analysis to investigate the disequilibrium characteristics and influencing factors of Digital Hunan construction.The results indicate that:1)Digital Hunan construction displays clear regional disequilibrium characteristics,forming an unbalanced development pattern"centered around a primary core and supported by peripheral corridors."2)The disequilibrium in the construction of Digital Hunan mainly stems from the differences among four major regions,which are primarily caused by the disparities between the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration and the Western Hunan region,the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration and the Dongting Lake Eco-economic Zone,as well as the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration and the Southern Hunan region.3)Factors such as economic development level and transportation infrastructure significantly enhance Digital Hunan construction,while fiscal expenditure and industrial structure pose significant negative impacts.Based on these insights,recommendations are proposed to intensify efforts in addressing digital gaps,coordinate regional development more effectively,and foster deep integration between digital and traditional economic sectors.
