Intelligent vs. Cultural: Research on the Path to Improve the Resilience of Urban and Rural Community Governance Based on the AHP-FCE Model

Community resilience is a core component of grassroots governance modernization, and community resilience shows different characteristics depending on the type of community. Existing research on community resilience mainly uses direct questionnaire data, relatively ignoring the differences in weights of various dimensions. Different categories of community resilience components play different roles in community resilience. Based on this, the study cited the logic of the AHP-FCE model and added objective data based on empowering resilience, thus making up for the model's shortcomings while giving full play to the model's advantages. The quantitative analysis of 353 questionnaires from five urban districts and five rural communities in the sample city was based on the community resilience evaluation model. In the current process of community resilience construction, there are typical problems of a lack of cultural resilience in urban community resilience construction and a need for more intelligent resilience in rural community resilience construction. The key to future community resilience construction is reconciling the relationship between cultural and intellectual resilience to solve the problem of targeting deviation in urban communities and rural community resilience construction. It is necessary to adhere to the spirit of "long-term construction" to build the cultural resilience of urban communities, implement the path of "digital empowerment" to make the intelligent resilience of rural communities, and adhere to the standard of "complete redundancy" to form an urban and rural community resilience governance mechanism gradually, and then Move towards more resilient urban and rural community governance and help realize the modernization of grassroots governance.

Social mechanisms for integrating community cats into community governance in urban China.

The presence of community cats roaming freely in urban spaces has caused considerable controversy. This is because the management and care of community cats have yet to become part of urban community governance. This research analyzes the process and mechanism of integrating community cats into urban community governance from the interaction between community cats and urban residents. Data were collected through participatory observation and unstructured interviews. Drawing upon the analytical framework of 'Norms, Trust, and Networks' derived from social capital theory, this research reveals that social norms and trust activate the social capital of the community, fostering a social network with 'community cats' at its core. More importantly, this social network extends the scope of care from the community cat to other members of the community. This research defines this mechanism as 'care extension.' This not only fosters a neighborly relationship between residents and community cats that goes beyond mere ecological interactions, but also helps foster a compassionate and harmonious multi-species urban community.

The Multiple Cultural Origins of Contemporary Chinese Volunteer Spirit: A Life History Study

Community volunteers occupy a unique position, being at the margins of institutional systems but central to public life in communities. They play a crucial role in forming and maintaining primary-level social order. Through life history interviews that explore the spiritual world of community volunteers, this study proposes a typology of community actors: enthusiasts, devotees, the dissatisfied, and neutrals. The first two types broadly constitute what can be termed “community volunteers.” Analyzing the multiple cultural origins that give rise to proactive community actors reveals that the interplay of familial, individual, and danwei (work unit) consciousness is the fundamental driving force behind their engagement in public life. Actors carry the cultural weight of multiple contexts through their life practice, with community an intermediary structure between family and state. This exploration provides a new framework for understanding contemporary Chinese urban community volunteers and community governance, uncovering the consciousness and emotional structures embedded in individual actors by macro-social transformation and highlighting a historical path of primary-level governance modernization in China that is distinct from that of the West.

Digital and Culture: Towards More Resilient Urban Community Governance

Urban communities are characterized by significant population size, high density, and strong mobility. While we might enjoy the dividends of rapid modernization, there are nonetheless variable and frequent public crises that occur. Modernization’s problems are gradually emerging, and the traditional risk prevention logic that relies on administrative “rigidity” has begun to be widely challenged. Traditional urban communities depend on institutional, structural, and spatial aspects to improve community resilience. Because big data has become popular, attention has begun to be paid to digital empowerment and community resilience. However, the emergence of problems such as “digital paradox” and “digital ethics” in the digital realm itself has prompted calls for cultural resilience to continue to rise. Therefore, urgently needed resolutions are required to questions regarding the resilience of traditional communities, the construction of digital and cultural resilience, the relationship between digital and cultural resilience, and the manner in which cultural resilience is coordinated to solve the problem of digital resilience. A quantitative analysis of 350 questionnaires from five urban communities found that these communities’ institutional, spatial, and structural dimensions are the driving factors for improving resilience. In contrast, the cultural and digital dimensions are constraints. Therefore, the question of how to coordinate the cultural and digital factors represented by traditional and modern societies in order to compensate for the shortcomings in resilience construction is that which future urban communities must consider. The authors of this study believe that digital empowerment is needed to open up the “first mile” of resilient communities, that cultural empowerment is required to break down the “blocks in the middle” of resilient communities, and that digital and cultural coupling is needed to link the “last mile” of resilient communities. One must use culture to compensate for the shortcomings of digital resilience and digital to pay for the failures of cultural resilience before one can move towards more resilient urban community governance.

Research on the Path of Improving the Efficiency of Urban Community Governance from the Perspective of Collaborative Governance: A Case Study of Daqing City, China

Under the background of “co-construction, co-governance, and sharing,” the role of the grassroots level is becoming increasingly important. In the past, the governance body was single with blocked information, and the inefficient governance mode required gradual transformation. In order to achieve collaborative governance and break through the obstacles in grassroots governance, the key lies in how to play the role of the community, coordinate the relationship between citizens and the community, and allow the community to better play the role of grassroots governance. Under the guidance of the concept of collaborative governance and combined with relevant data, this paper discusses the problems and current situation of community governance in Daqing City, China, explores the path to improve the efficiency of urban community governance, and puts forward relevant constructive suggestions to better realize the role of community in grassroots governance.

Urban community governance and machine learning: practice and prospects for intelligent decision making

Abstract Urban community governance faces unprecedented challenges, but machine learning provides new ideas for it. The objective of this study is to examine the use of machine learning technology in urban community governance to enhance governance efficiency and decision-making quality. The study constructs an artificial neural network intelligent decision support model based on genetic algorithm optimization, which is based on the operational requirements of a smart decision support system. A weighted fuzzy inference network is further developed by the fusion of fuzzy logic and neural networks to enhance the system’s ability to deal with uncertainty and ambiguity. Next, prediction tests were conducted on the development levels of six communities to validate the model’s effectiveness. After 1686 training steps, the error squared SSE drops below 0.2%, according to the results. The composite index’s prediction error was 5.12%, while the minimum error was −1.79%. The predicted rankings of the communities did not change from the actual ones, which was in line with the normal trend, and the algorithmic model achieved better prediction results. This study not only provides a new intelligent decision support tool for community governance but also sets a theoretical and practical foundation for the intelligent development of urban community governance in the future.

Research on "Publicness" in Public Art under the Perspective of Co-construction Concept

In the early stages of the reform and opening-up, the concept of co-construction gradually entered the public consciousness. China began to emphasize community development, community participation, and grassroots governance. Over time, China has increasingly emphasized multi-party participation, democratic decision-making, and collaborative construction in urban renewal, community governance, rural transformation, and cultural development. This emphasis on social participation and collaborative construction has gradually embedded the concept of co-construction, filled with a spirit of humanistic care, into the hearts of the people. This paper aims to delve into the "publicness" in public art under the perspective of the co-construction concept. By introducing relevant concepts such as co-construction, the paper clarifies the core concept of "publicness" under the co-construction perspective. It thoroughly analyzes the inseparable relationship between the co-construction concept and publicness in public art, elaborating on how the co-construction concept influences and guides the practice of public art design.

Analysis of the Problems and Countermeasures of Grass-Roots Government in Community Governance

The community is the basic unit of the city, the foundation of social development and progress, and the vital booster of social harmony and stability. However, with the continuous improvement of society, new changes have taken place in community governance. At present, there are still many challenges in urban community governance in China, such as offside and lack of government functions in urban community governance, lack of guidance for residents to participate in community governance, insufficient supply of resources and backward management methods, which seriously affects the excellent process of community governance. Facing the ever-evolving society district construction, and gradually emerging governance problems, how to optimize the existing model, eliminate the inherent drawbacks, give better play to grass-roots governments, and establish a new community governance mechanism is the current problem that needs to be solved. Therefore, in order to further solve the problems of community governance, from the perspective of grassroots governments, countermeasures such as clarifying the positioning of government functions, stimulating the vitality of residents' participation in community governance, increasing the inclination of resources to the community and innovating the management methods of community governance are proposed, so as to provide reference for solving the problems of community governance.

Exploring the Path of Modernization of Urban Community Governance

China has entered a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. As the basic unit of urban grassroots governance and the spatial organisation of social life, the urban community is an important hand in practising the modernisation of the national governance system and governance capacity, and in constructing a social governance pattern of "common construction, common governance and common sharing", and the modernisation of its governance is also an objective requirement to adapt to the change of the main social contradictions in the new era. In practice, due to the complexity and diversity of urban community problems mapping out the endless means of governance, this paper aims to clarify the concept of community and community governance, the requirements of the era of community governance and the current state of development of emerging technologies, and to sort out the current status of the concept of community governance of pluralistic governance, refined governance, and the current status of the community governance means of the PPP model (Public-Private-Partnership) and artificial intelligence. community governance means status quo. Finally, Starting from three aspects of community governance: grassroots government, community residents, and emerging technologies, the following community governance paths are proposed: government: strengthened guidance, weakened dominance; residents: weakened elitism, strengthened public participation; and technology: enhanced living experience, digital operation. It explores the concept and means of governance with a view to providing a new path for current community governance in China.

How can the construction of social credit system in the context of digitalization empower grassroots governance? — A Case Study of “Moral Bank” in Yuyao City, Zhejiang Province

The 20th Party Congress report proposed to improve the grid-based management, refinement of services, information technology to support the grassroots governance platform, and improve the urban and rural community governance system [1, p. 24]. Grass-roots social governance is the basis of the entire national governance system, which concerns the vital interests of millions of people. At present, the government concentrates funds and material resources on infrastructure construction, and while the hardware environment at the grassroots level is improving, the construction of soft power is seriously lagging behind, and residents’ awareness of participation and public spirit are seriously lacking, so grassroots governance needs to be transformed. The basic function of social credit system is to form incentives and constraints for various subjects with the help of credit evaluation mechanism, so as to realize effective social governance. The establishment of social credit system can not only create an environment to serve social governance, but also provide important support for the modernization of social governance system and national governance capacity. Thus, under the strategic choice of building a comprehensive social credit system, combining an effective social credit system with grassroots social governance is an inevitable choice for China’s future development. Meanwhile, along with the accelerated development of digitization in China, the digitization of social credit system construction has become a powerful boost to promote credit governance. The digital transformation of social credit system can fully activate the path of credit information formation and collection in the traditional social credit system, optimize the operation mechanism and application scenario of credit evaluation mechanism, and thus maximize the functional utility of credit-enabled grassroots social governance. Based on this, this paper attempts to take the many challenges faced by grassroots governance as a logical starting point, take the “moral bank” in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province as a case study, trace how the construction of social credit system empowers grassroots social governance in the context of digitalization, explore the operation mechanism and practical effects of it, and extract corresponding insights.

The Practice Path and Internal Logic of Urban-Rural Community Integration Governance

The community is the basic unit of primary-level social governance, and the transformation of community governance practices in the urban-rural dual field to an integrated path is a key measure to promote the modernization of urban and rural primary-level social governance systems and governance capabilities. China's urban communities are characterized by rich basic resources but lack of endogenous power, and rural communities are generally in the initial stage of construction but have a solid cultural consensus. Based on the Functional Course Theory, this study analyzes the differences in the development of urban and rural community governance in China and reveals that the disconnection of institutional systems, lack of interaction between organizations, and disjointed governance models are the reasons for the large differences in the development paths of urban and rural community governance. Institutional interdependence, structural complementarity, and method of mutual learning are the footholds of the integrated development path of urban and rural community governance. In the context of urban-rural integration, it is necessary to coordinate urban and rural community governance and promote community governance innovation through urban-rural social interaction, gradually narrow the gap in community governance paths, and promote the integration of urban and rural social governance.

Research on the Modernization of Urban Community Governance in the Post-epidemic Era

General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: " Community is the foundation of the grass-roots, the foundation is solid, can the national building be firm." Community governance work is related to the interests of many parties, the services of the government, as well as social stability and order, the modernization of urban community governance capacity has become the most prominent link in the modernization of national governance system and governance capacity In the post-epidemic era, the modernization of community governance capacity for community work and community organization is more and more obvious, and the demand is also more prominent. As the grassroots cell of modern national governance, the community plays a pivotal role in people's livelihood and social development, and plays an important role in improving the quality of urban life and enhancing the reputation of the city. The modernization of community governance is an important step in the current national governance. However, there are many problems in the actual community governance, such as community public services are not in place, residents have low enthusiasm to participate in community work, the ability of members of community organizations or the workload is large. In the current community governance of the grassroots management of rigid phenomenon, to seek diversified governance means, on the basis of considering community form change and governance needs according to the change of the existing social governance mechanism, above this according to the realistic path of urban community governance to provide accurate positioning, provide effective execution basis for urban community governance. To further promote the development of community, promote the modernization of community governance, we need to speed up the optimization of multiple governance pattern, in the era of the outbreak of social economic structure and social structure, the change of the specific governance demand analyzes the existing community governance phenomenon, from the governance ideas to the main body to finally to effect a series of exploration of community governance ability modernization to provide profound reference, grasp the correct direction of the current community governance, explore to adapt to the outbreak era after the effective path conducive to community development.

Community Governance Based on Sentiment Analysis: Towards Sustainable Management and Development

The promotion of community governance by digital means is an important research topic in developing smart cities. Currently, community governance is mostly based on reactive response, which lacks timely and proactive technical means for emergency monitoring. The easiest way for residents to contact their properties is to call the property call center, and the call centers of many properties store many speech data. However, text sentiment classification in community scenes still faces challenges such as small corpus size, one-sided sentiment feature extraction, and insufficient sentiment classification accuracy. To address such problems, we propose a novel community speech text sentiment classification algorithm combining two-channel features and attention mechanisms to obtain effective emotional information and provide decision support for the emergency management of public emergencies. Firstly, text vectorization based on word position information is proposed, and a SKEP-based community speech–text enhancement model is constructed to obtain the corresponding corpus. Secondly, a dual-channel emotional text feature extraction method that integrates spatial and temporal sequences is proposed to extract diverse emotional features effectively. Finally, an improved cross-entropy loss function suitable for community speech text is proposed for model training, which can achieve sentiment analysis and obtain all aspects of community conditions. The proposed method is conducive to improving community residents’ sense of happiness, satisfaction, and fulfillment, enhancing the effectiveness and resilience of urban community governance.

What Is the Rational Choice of Community Governance Policy

Community governance is the “micro-cell” of social governance and the foundation of the governance system. The rational selection logic of community governance policy reflects the value orientation, goal selection, and tool guarantee of governance policy. It is the result of the interaction between government and public values and it reflects the final value choice in the form of policy text and tries to balance policy rationality through accurate calculation. Through the analysis of 100 government work reports and 63 community governance policy documents of the Chinese government from 2013 to 2022, it was found that “People-oriented” was the core value orientation of governance policy. “Better life” was a key target choice for governance policy. “Diversified tools” were an important implementation guarantee for governance policy. These rational choices were consistent between the central and the local governments, but there was a conflict between localities. Urban and rural community governance policies need to establish a public space between policy rationality and value selection to solve the targeting bias of policy rationality in the future. This paper solves the conflict between policy rationality and value choice using the paths of expert think tank construction, highlighting leading goals, and using technology empowerment, to adjust the tension between the two through reasonable value choice and balanced policy rationality, to achieve the goal of urban and rural community governance modernization.
