Discussion on Mechanism of Public Participation in Community Governance

Abstract

With the development of innovative social governance models, the grassroots social governance model led by the government is transforming into a new governance model with the participation of multiple subjects. In practice, it is necessary to bring into play the importance of multi-subject participation in community governance (CG), including community party organizations, street offices, social organizations, and residents. The pluralistic subjects have the problems of imperfect development of community party organizations, unclear legal status of street offices, inadequate development of social organizations, and low enthusiasm of resident participation. Therefore, in the process of participating in the CG mechanism, there are problems such as lack of effective communication horizontally and lack of smooth channels vertically. Multiple subjects should communicate closely to effectively break through the horizontal barriers and actively participate in the governance system to smoothly run through the vertical channel. These play crucial roles in the participation of multiple subjects in CG.
