Toward Development Quality: A Research On The Urban Community Governance

Since the implementation of community construction by Ministry of CivilAffairs of PRC in 1991, many achievements have been witnessed. However, with thefurther development of community construction, the issue of development qualityattracted more & more concerning. The trend, as it's always, that the speed ofquantity development is over the speed of quality, seriously hampered the harmoniousand sustainability of the whole society. The focus of this dissertation is to find out thesolution to the issue, i.e. how to construct our future community. I believe this topichas its value theoretically & practically.The first focus is on the study of development quality of our communityconstruction. Nowadays, there exists the inconsistency between quality & quantity inthe development of community construction. People realize that the quantity on thedevelopment will not automatically solve the issue of quality, that the essence ofdevelopment should be the human being but not the stuffs. The increase on materialsside is just the method but not the target. The real target should be the satisfaction ofhuman's demand and the enhancement of the capability. In the angle of communitygovemance and based the current construction model of our communities, thedissertation has the model of Street-Residential as sample study, which has the sixteenyears practice in China, so as to find out some way that is unique & suitable toChina's situation, improve the satisfaction of local residents and enhance thedevelopment of the community governace.Secondly, our study will also be focus on the three basic model of communitydevelopment. Based on the "Street-Residential Model", we studied theaccomplishment & issues of it through historical analyzing & performance measure.We would draw the conclusion that we shall promote the change from current"Street-Residential Model" to modem community construction. Compared with the"Street-Residential Model", modern community construction will improve the satisfaction from the local residents. While the straight line execution modelhampered the progress. In the further future, "Network Governance Model" willreplace the modern community construction, which will be finally resulted in higherdevelopment quality.Thirdly, the dissertation goes further on "Network Governance Model". Basedon the study on the theory & practice, we forecast that the "Network GovernanceModel" contains higher quality. Plus, based on the study on its content, value-assess,construction model, future performance evaluation and possible issue...etc, we candraw the conclusion that "Network Governance Model" will make up a more mutualbenefits and harmony environment between several communities. The bottom-up &initiative model could stimulate more unique satisfaction among the community.Besides, the model could absorb more participation from the local residents, whichwill also benefit the satisfaction. Thus, we made case study on the solitaries in 'PingLiang Community'. The community provides conciliative service to those old people,which is a testimony that the collaborative network could increase the residents'satisfaction.Last but not the least, only the improvement on materials cannot bring moresatisfaction to residents' demand and high-level living standard, nor could it realizethe development of human being. We have to change our mind and the currentquantity-oriented model so as to find out one way suitable to our nation's conditionand to bring more satisfaction from our residents.
