The Coupling Measurements and Obstacle Factors Identification of Digital Transformation and Rural Governance Efficiency
The improvement of digitally empowered rural governance efficiency is an inherent requirement for promoting the modernization of the rural governance system and governance capacity and an inevitable need for realizing the overall revitalization of rural areas. Taking 30 provinces in China as the research objects,based on the construction of the evaluation index system of digital transformation and rural governance efficiency,this paper uses the entropy method to measure the level of provincial digital transformation and rural governance efficiency. It analyzes the coupling coordination degree and obstacle factors of the two. It is found that the story of rural digital transformation in China is on the rise as a whole,and the level of rural governance efficiency remains stable. There are pronounced regional differences in digital transformation and rural governance efficiency,and the eastern region is significantly better than the central and western regions. The coupling coordination degree in China's digital transformation and rural governance efficiency is increasing yearly. However,the overall coupling coordination degree is not high and is still in the imbalance stage. Some eastern provinces can achieve the coupling and coordination of digital transformation and rural governance efficiency. Digital application development is the primary obstacle to rural digital transformation. The main challenges to rural governance efficiency are people's livelihood and economic,organizational,and ecological governance. Therefore,we should promote the construction of digital villages according to local conditions,focus on improving the efficiency of rural governance in the western regions,and drive the effective adaptation of rural digital technology applications to rural society.
