Hot Topics and Evolution Patten in Rural Governance Research——A Visual Analysis Based on CireSpace Knowledge Map
Using CiteSpace visualization software,knowledge graph analysis was conducted on 1 404 CSSCI research papers indexed in the CNKI academic journal database.Through an analysis of article volume,author dis-tribution,publishing institutions,and co-occurrence of keywords and clustering,the study aims to summarize the prominent themes and progression methods within rural governance research.The analysis revealed that recent domes-tic research on rural governance predominantly focuses on digital rural governance,multi-stakeholder collaborative governance,party-led initiatives,intergration of 3 governance approaches,and cultural governance.This indicates an overall trend towards diversified research,interdisciplinary studies,and comprehensive applications in rural govern-ance.Research methods for rural governance predominantly consist of case analysis and literature review,with a no-ticeable absence of quantitative analysis-related research.Looking ahead to the future of rural governance research,it is essential to strengthen the research on governance models in rural areas,deepen the study of relationships among various stakeholders in rural governance,and expand the perspectives and methodologies employed in rural governance research.
