Public participation in local government performance measurement is agreed with the development of the science of the Public Administration. It has enriched the intension of the government performance measurement. The report at the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China points out clearly that the government is to expand the public's orderly participation in politics from all aspects, to accelerate the reform of the administrative management system, to build a government of serving. By nature, the rights of the government belong to the people, and the government is to serve the people. So the government should base its work on whether or not the people feel satisfied, because the people can directly experience the government performance. That's why the power to measure the government performance ought to be mastered by the people, and why it should become the basic principle of the government performance measurement that whether or not the result of public service that the government offers is approved by overwhelming majority of people. In recent years, a lot of local governments launched the diversified forms of activities of public participation in government performance measurement, which have achieved certain goals. For example, these activities, to a certain extent, have promoted the development of the serving type administration, improved the government's performance and the public's sense of participation. But because of the shortage of the relevant theories and the deficiencies of practical experience, it is unavoidable for us to encounter some problems. So we must make further investigation to promote the development of this activity.Using basic knowledge in such disciplines as in management, administration's studying, political science, etc., and combining normative and empirical analysis, this essay, on the basis of the achievements of other scholars, makes a discussion on the problems of public participation in local government performance measurement, intend to make some contribution to the theory and practical work of the local government performance measurement in our country. This essay falls into three parts altogether:Part I: The summary of public participation in local government performance measurement. First of all, it describes the significance, the current situation, some relevant concepts, and the theoretical foundation of public participation in local government performance measurement. Then, on the basis of analyzing the existing problems of our traditional mode in local government performance measurement, it, combining the reality in our country, explains the realistic meaning of public participation in local government performance measurement.Part II: The analysis of the current situation and the existing problems of public participation in local government performance measurement. At first, it summarizes the current situation of public participation in local government performance measurement, and points out that the public participates in scale and the activity is difficult to launch continuously are the two main characteristics. Then it, from the following six aspects, carries on careful analysis to the problems existing: the public's sense of participation is not strong , and it's ability is insufficient; the public obtains deficient information in government performance; the independence, professional lines of the appraisal agency are insufficient; the content measured and method adopted are, to a certain extent, not scientific; the measurement result is not so opened and the application is unreasonable; public participation in local government performance measurement of the public policy is not paid enough attention to.Part III: The mechanism construction of public participation in local government performance measurement of our country. On the foundation of the above analyses, this part, in the six aspects, proposes effective mechanism of solving the relevant problems, including the mechanism that promoting the formation of the idea of the administration participation; high-efficient mechanism for performance information disclosing; the third party leading mechanism in measurement; the scientific mechanisms for the public to participate in the content measured and method adopted; response and incentive mechanism of the measurement result; the mechanism of public participation in local government performance measurement of the public policy.
