Abstract This research established a set of
methods suitable
for China to assess the informatisation level in rural areas and
analysed the status of rural informatisation in different parts of
China. The study established a synthetic index method, and the process
includes establishment of an indicator system, data collection, data
standardisation and indexation. The average level of national rural
informatisation was found to be 99.69. The top six areas are
municipalities of Shanghai and Beijing, and provinces of Guangdong,
Hebei, Zhejiang and Jiangsu. The Informatisation Index of Shanghai is
259.15, which is 160% higher than that of the average level in the
whole country and 971% of the level in Tibet. The building of
infrastructures for rural informatisation and the application of
agricultural information technology (IT) have played an evident role in
the process of informatisation construction in rural areas. However,
the gap of rural informatisation development between eastern and
western China is still wide.
