A Knowledge Map Study of Rural Environmental Governance Based on CiteSpace Bibliometrics
Rural environmental governance is a crucial path toward sustainable development and an essential driver for advancing rural revitalization.This paper focuses on the research status of rural environmental gov-ernance,using the CNKI database as the data source and CiteSpace for bibliometric analysis.It visualizes in-formation such as publication volume,key authors,research institutions,and keywords.The results show that annual publication volume in this field initially increased and then decreased.While most authors conduct in-dependent research,institutional collaboration is common.Besides the keyword"environmental governance,"hot topics include"rural revitalization,""multi-party governance,"and"grassroots governance."Future re-search should adopt a macro perspective to explore how rural environmental governance can serve long-term ru-ral development plans.It should focus on localizing relevant theories,examining how governance theory can be adapted to China's rural society.Additionally,understanding the deep-rooted challenges hindering the nor-malization and sustainability of rural environmental governance will provide practical pathways to activate multi-stakeholder collaboration and promote co-governance.
