Abstract: Rural construction is a pivotal task in implementing the rural revitalization strategy, and establishing a scientific and effective rural construction evaluation system is fundamental to facilitating the steady execution of rural construction endeavors. This paper employs CiteSpace software to visually analyze domestic and international journal articles pertaining to rural construction evaluation, from angles such as temporal distribution, research collaboration networks, and keyword co-occurrences. Additionally, this paper reviews and compares the current research status of dimensions, methods, and practices in rural construction evaluation both domestically and internationally. Key findings include: 1) In terms of value orientation, foreign studies have prioritized the central role of individuals in rural construction, whereas domestic research has transitioned from emphasizing physical space improvement to encompassing both social and physical space dimensions. 2) In the evolutionary stage, rural construction evaluation has shifted from static assessments focused on materials and performance to dynamic evaluations incorporating multi-dimensional and multi-objective perspectives. 3) Regarding technical pathways, research lacks systematic analysis of the working mechanisms and effectiveness evaluation in rural construction evaluation. Lastly, this paper outlines three prospects for future research: establishing an evaluation index system with multi-scale and multi-dimensional correlation effects, formulating multifunctional evaluation standards that cater to diverse needs, and refining an application-oriented working mechanism that harnesses evaluation to drive construction, thereby offering insights for the theory and practice of rural construction evaluation in China.
