Hohhot Citycommunity Culture Constrction

With the development of China’s socialist market economy, the unit system shaped in the period of planned economy has gradually lost its effectiveness with "unit members" changed as "social members" and many businesses done by various organizations in the society instead. All that people need not only rely on the government and institutions people work at, but mainly on the society and market. Therefore, community becomes the most significant part with people’s lives and work and its cultural construction becomes important to community construction. Community culture is the "root" and "soul" of a community. A positive community culture plays a promoting role in strengthening a sense of belonging of community residents, enriching their spiritual life and constructing a harmonious community. Therefore, based on the local reality and relevant theories and concepts, this thesis, in an attempt to use urban community culture as a relatively independent case study, will reflect the cultural construction of Xinhua community and Railway community on the basis of accurate questionnaire survey and fieldwork. There are also many problems in spite the fact that community cultural construction in Hohhot has achieved promising results. The main problems lie in backward infrastructure, the low participation of residents and their weak consciousness of community as well as the unclear relationship between government executive departments and grassroots ones, etc. Then the thesis gives explanations for such problems as defective investment mechanism, imperfect communication mechanism, inadequate laws and regulations and backward understanding of community cultural theme. Lastly, the thesis will propose corresponding measures to find a way appropriate for the development of community culture in Hohhot--multi-channel investment guarantee mechanism should be built; propagandize the active participation of residents and district units; perfect management mechanism, laws and regulations and importance should be attached to foster community attachment of residents.
