The influencing factors of the promotion of water conservancy digital twin technology based on the theory of new quality productive forces

To effectively address the efficiency bottlenecks in the application of digital twin technology in the water conservancy sector, it is imperative to conduct a systematic analysis of the influencing factors and their underlying connections during the technology promotion process. Based on the fundamental connotations of new quality productive forces, this paper constructs a four-dimensional indicator system encompassing laborers, means of labor, objects of labor, and optimized combinations for enhancement using the qualitative comprehensive integration method. Subsequently, the fuzzy DEMATEL model is employed to quantify the interactive relationships and influence intensity among factors, precisely identifying key driving factors. An ISM model is utilized to generate a hierarchical topology diagram, revealing the critical driving pathways for technology promotion. This paper finds that the factors affecting the promotion of digital twin technology can be divided into surface factors, intermediate factors, and root factors. Among them, ten factors such as water conservancy policy guidance and incentives, water conservancy market demand and competition, and the application benefits of digital twin technology are the key influencing factors for technology promotion; the key influencing factors, with the help of the transmission of intermediate factors, affects the surface factors, forming a core driving path that starts with the guidance of water conservancy policies and market demand and ends with the benefits of technical application. It should be given priority when formulating technology promotion strategies.
