摘要

Rural development is an important part of national development in China. However, the lack of rural development degree (RDD) changes and divergence analyses limited our understanding for how to promote rural development in different regions. Therefore, this work introduced a rural development assessment index and equal weighting system, consisting of five dimensions and 25 indicators, to investigate provincial RDD and changes in 2015 and 2021. The results showed that national RDD increased from 0.403±0.066 in 2015 to 0.486±0.054 in 2021 and the scores for each of the five dimensions also improved. China’s rural areas had a good development foundation, but rural industrial prosperity and wealthy lifestyle were lagging. Targeted rural development policies promoted provincial-level increases in these dimensions. The RDD top-ranked provinces were mainly in eastern China. Most of the bottom-ranked provinces were in central and western China. The top-ranked provinces usually had three or four strong dimensions that supported regional rural development. However, weak performances in all dimensions were usually observed in the bottom-ranked provinces, which limited RDD improvements. The bottom-ranked provinces are encouraged to improve their ecological livability, effective governance, and wealthy lifestyle.
