  ABSTRACT: In recent years, the subject of urban-rural integrated development has garnered significant attention in academic circles. Digital technologies, which have been proliferating consistently, have played a pivotal role in driving this integration forward. Drawing from the theoretical lens of urban-rural integration, this study conducted a comprehensive review and analysis of recent literature pertaining to the subject. From this analysis, we distilled various perspectives and pinpointed 11 crucial factors that influence urban-rural integrated development. To further unpack the intricate relationships among these influencing factors, we employed the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) approach. This allowed us to elucidate the hierarchical relationships and logical connections among them. Based on this solid foundation and from the perspective of digital technology empowerment, we formulated pertinent recommendations that serve as a theoretical foundation for further enhancing urban-rural integration.
