Features: It has become a consensus that science and technology are the driving forces of world development. It is also an undeniable fact that science popularization plays an indispensable role in this process. However, how effective is science popularization in promoting regional socio-economic development? How does it perform? How can the effects of science popularization be measured? These questions have long lacked quantitative research and analysis. This book employs systematic theories and methods to conduct exploratory research on the factors influencing the effects of science popularization, methods of effect evaluation, indicator quantification, as well as data collection and organization. It provides certain guidance for macro-level evaluations of science popularization effects, regional comparisons, project decision-making, and method selection. Additionally, it serves as a valuable reference for theoretical researchers in science popularization, managers of science popularization work, and policymakers in science popularization.
