摘要

Digital technology has emerged as a significant factor influencing farmers’ participation in human settlements governance, and it shows obvious community heterogeneity. The Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) theory illustrates that the performance of digital technology is not solely dependent on technical conditions, but also closely linked to the context in which it is implemented. This study incorporates digital technology and community capacity into a unified analytical framework. Utilizing data from a survey of 1,043 farmers, the Ordered Probit model was employed to empirically examine the influence of these two factors on farmers’ participation in human settlements governance. Additionally, the propensity score matching method (PSM), conditional mixed process method (CMP), and threshold effect model were utilized for robustness testing and further analysis. The results indicate that (1) Both digital technology and community capacity have significant positive effects on farmers’ participation, and the two have complementary effects. (2) The higher the community capacity (threshold value 0.682), the more obvious the positive impact of digital technology on farmers’ participation. (3) The impact of digital technology and community capacity on farmers’ participation is heterogeneous based on total income and regional distribution, showing that the two have significant impacts on the participation behavior of middle-income farmers and farmers in the central region respectively. Therefore, this paper proposes that it is crucial to harmonize the efficient utilization of digital technology with the strengthening of community capacity. Additionally, rural areas should adopt a tailored approach to managing their communities based on their unique characteristics.
