Research On China’s Digital Village Construction Policy Based On Text Quantitative Analysis

With the continuous development and breakthrough of digital technology represented by big data,cloud computing and artificial intelligence,a new round of scientific and technological revolution is setting off a comprehensive change in the world economic pattern,political pattern and industrial pattern.Digital technology is deeply embedded in China’s rural construction,which has profoundly changed the rural industrial structure and social relations.The digital transformation of China’s rural areas has become an inevitable trend.In this context,the CPC Central Committee has deployed and implemented the digital village strategy to promote rural revitalization with digital technology,which provides strategic guidance for rural construction in the new era.However,China’s digital village construction is still facing challenges such as insufficient capital investment,lagging infrastructure construction and core technology to be broken through.The government needs to continuously improve policy support and services on the existing basis.Therefore,this paper selects the digital village construction policy as the research object,focusing on the application of policy tools,the cooperation of policy makers and key policy issues of digital village construction,in order to analyze the problems existing in the policy system and put forward targeted policy suggestions,which has certain theoretical value and practical significance.Based on the collected 171 digital village construction policy texts published by the central level from 1986 to 2021,this paper studies the digital village construction policy from the perspectives of text measurement and content analysis.In the text measurement part,this paper first makes a descriptive statistical analysis of the time,quantity and language of the policy text,and divides China’s digital village construction into five stages: germination,initial exploration,gradual maturity,high-speed development,digital transformation and Rural Revitalization.After that,this paper introduces four network centrality measurement indicators to analyze the cooperation network of policy-making subjects.It is found that the policy-making subjects have formed a cooperation network led by the Ministry of agriculture and rural areas and mainly participated by the Ministry of industry and information technology,the national development and Reform Commission,the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Commerce,but the interdepartmental cooperation still needs to be strengthened.Then,this paper makes a cluster analysis of the theme words of the policy text,and forms five key issues of digital village construction policies,such as agricultural and rural informatization and agricultural digital intelligent transformation,scientific and technological innovation research and talent training of "agriculture,rural areas and farmers",cultivation of new business forms of rural digital economy,rural logistics and trade system and digital governance,rural network security and supervision.In the part of content analysis,this paper constructs a three-dimensional analysis framework of "policy tools-development objectives-policy stakeholders",analyzes the policy text in single and cross dimensions,and analyzes the tool application,target matching and beneficiary groups of digital rural policy.Through the research,this paper draws the following conclusions: the construction of digital countryside presents obvious phased characteristics;A cooperation network of policy makers for digital village construction has been formed,but inter departmental cooperation still needs to be strengthened;The construction of digital village presents rich key issues;The policy tools,development objectives and policy stakeholders of digital village are unbalanced.According to the research conclusions,the corresponding policy suggestions are put forward:establish an overall coordination,coordination and linkage mechanism among different subjects;Optimize the combination structure of supply-oriented policy instruments;Appropriately increase the application proportion of environmental and demand-oriented policy tools;Increase the amount of policy investment in scientific research institutions and researchers.
