Research On Government Behavior In The Transformation Of Village Industrial Parks

Since the reform and opening up,the Pearl River Delta region,relying on the demographic dividend,policy dividend,and land dividend has undertaken many industries from western developed countries and regions.It has formed a distinctive export-oriented development model with manufacturing as its mainstay.In this process,enterprises have naturally gathered to form many village-level industrial parks,which have become a primary carrier to undertake manufacturing and other industrial industries.In the past three decades,the emergence and development of village-level industrial parks have promoted regional economic and social development and liberated productive forces.However,as China’s economy enters a new normal,the backward production capacity of village-level industrial parks,the inefficient utilization of land resources and the increasingly prominent safety and environmental protection issues have severely restricted the transformation and upgrading of regional industries and become a major obstacle in the way of promoting the development of advanced manufacturing and sustainable growth.In the transformation of village-level industrial parks,the government,especially the local and grassroots governments,plays an important role.This paper is based on government function theory,government behavior theory,and public participation theory,and takes the government behavior in the reform of village-level industrial parks in S districts of F city as a case study.Located in the core hinterland of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area,district S of city F has experienced rapid economic development for decades and is a typical sample of domestic county economic development.However,the village-level industrial parks in district S are presently facing many problems – overuse of land resources,uneven development,and complicated land ownership issues.Therefore,since 2018,District S has embarked on the renovation of village-level industrial parks.The paper analyzes the government behavior in the transformation of the village-level industrial park in district S and finds that district S and the grassroots government have five significant issues-insufficient reform policies,poor administrative implementation,inadequate supervision and evaluation mechanism,inadequate public services,and weak incentive and publicity effects.Given the existing problems,this paper analyzes the reasons behind the problems from the perspective of the development concept,the impact of ideological understanding on behavior,government functions and competence.In order to resolve these problems,this paper puts forward five suggestions – improve the scientific and democratic level of the decision-making process,strengthen the rule of law in government behavior,improve the supervision and evaluation system,optimize the public service system,and establish and improve the public participation mechanism.
