ABSTRACT

The development of rural digital economy is an inevitable choice in promoting rural revitalization, as it complements and promotes each other. This article is based on the data of rural digital economy and rural revitalization in Sichuan Province from 2012 to 2021.  It establishes an evaluation index system for the coordinated development of rural digital economy and rural revitalization, and conducts measurement research on their coupling coordination. In addition, the obstacle degree model is used to identify key obstacles.  The research results show that the level of rural digital economy and rural revitalization in Sichuan Province has been continuously improving, with stable coupling degree.  The coordination degree and coupling coordination degree have shown a steady growth trend. However, there are still some key obstacles, such as insufficient sharing of open data, lagging information network infrastructure, low digital literacy of rural residents, and inadequate application of new generation information technologies.  Based on the above research results, this article proposes several policy recommendations.  In the future, it is necessary to pay full attention to the construction of smart villages, cultivate and strengthen the team of rural digital talents, efficiently promote the prosperity of industries, and expand the application scenarios of digital villages.  Additionally, it is important to break down data silos and system barriers, and accelerate the modernization of agriculture and rural areas.  This article provides important empirical evidence and decision support for promoting the coordinated development of rural digital economy and rural revitalization in Sichuan Province.
