Study on the Construction of Evaluation Indicator System and Level Measurement of Rural Governance Modernization in the Information Age

Abstract

In the context of the information age, accelerating the modernization of rural governance has become the focus of social attention. This paper adopts the coupled coordination degree model. It applies the coefficient of variation method to standardize the evaluation index data, thus establishing a spatial measurement model for in-depth analysis of rural governance. This paper constructs a modernization evaluation index model, including five main evaluation indexes, including industrial modernization, ecological excellence, cultural modernization, effective governance, and affluent life, to form a comprehensive rural governance modernization evaluation system. Hunan Province in China is the case study, and this study explores its rural governance modernization level in detail. The results show that the development level of rural governance modernization in Hunan Province is higher than the average value of the composite index of the six central provinces, which is 0.4701. In developing rural governance modernization indicators, the indicators generally show an upward trend, with an increase of 8.7%, 5.66%, 16.43%, 4.79%, and 13.84%, respectively. However, the indicators of effective governance and cultural modernization have become the main obstacles to the modernization of rural governance in Hunan Province, with the combined obstacle degree of these two indicators reaching 67.92%. This study not only provides a practical evaluation tool and method for rural governance modernization, but also provides specific data support and policy recommendations for developing rural governance modernization in Hunan Province, which helps to promote the process of modernizing regional rural governance.
