Abstract:

Rural revitalization is a crucial element in achieving high-quality development at the provincial level and is a significant strategic deployment to break the urban-rural binary differentiation. Rural revitalization in Gansu province is influenced by multiple conditions， this study uses the “TOE （Technology-Organization-Environment）” theoretical framework and employs fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis to explore the intrinsic mechanisms and factor combinations of rural revitalization in 14 cities and prefectures in Gansu province. The study analyzes 5 configuration paths that affect rural revitalization and summarizes 2 development models： the digital technology-led rural revitalization model and the government-led rural revitalization model under the TOE framework. In order to accelerate the construction of a new engine for rural revitalization in Gansu Province and narrow the urban-rural development gap， digital technology should be integrated into rural development and efforts should be made to create an attractive image for rural Gansu. Additionally， the government should strengthen grassroots organization building using regulatory and incentive measures， particularly by enhancing the role of village party secretaries， optimizing the organizational interest chain， and promoting rural revitalization based on the consolidation of poverty alleviation achievements.
