Research on the Development Level of China's Agricultural Rural Modernisation Based on Delphi, Entropy Weight and Topsis Methods

Abstract

This paper proposes a comprehensive assessment model through the Delphi, entropy weight and Topsis methods to address the complexity and diversity of China's agricultural and rural modernisation development. Firstly, the relative weights of each indicator in the modernisation of agriculture and rural areas were determined through expert surveys and weighted averages, and consistency tests were conducted to verify the credibility of the results. Secondly, the use of the entropy weight method is detailed, where the weights are determined by calculating the information entropy value of the indicators, and the final weight results are normalised. Further, the application of the Topsis method in assessing the development level of agricultural and rural modernisation in each province and city is described, and the comprehensive scores of each region are derived and graded by comparing the distances from the ideal solution and the negative ideal solution. Finally, the degree of realisation of agricultural and rural modernisation in China's provinces and cities is assessed and analysed based on the scores, demonstrating the differences and trends in the modernisation process in different regions.
