In China’s five-level administrative system,the township government is at the end,is the main body of the implementation of the strategy of rural revitalization,and is the concrete implementer and executor of various strategic tasks.In the process of implementing the strategy of rural revitalization,the primary problems faced by the township government are how to reposition and transform their functions.At present,many township governments in our country have put forward the specific orientation and direction of functional transformation.However,in the specific implementation process,there are still many problems such as unclear understanding of functional transformation and incomplete implementation of functional transformation.Therefore,as the perspective of rural revitalization strategy,it is of great practical significance to explore the problems related to the transformation of township government functions.This study is based on new public management theory,new public service theory,service-oriented government construction theory and so on.The methods of literature research and questionnaire survey were adopted.Taking Chengliu Town of Jiyuan City in Henan Province as an example,this paper investigates and studies the related issues of the functional transformation of township government under the background of rural revitalization strategy.A comprehensive survey was conducted on 150 staff members of the government of Chengliu town,and 150 valid questionnaires were issued and recovered;20administrative villages were selected from Chengliu town,and stratified sampling and random sampling were used to investigate the villagers.10 villagers were randomly selected from each administrative village,and 200 valid questionnaires were issued and recovered.Through the investigation,it was found that there are some problems in the transformation of township government functions,such as unclear understanding of cadres,insufficient motivation and excessive pressure,insufficient transformation and inadequate performance,and defects in the evaluation mechanism.Therefore,according to the general requirements of the strategy of rural revitalization,we should firstly strengthen the understanding of the transformation of township government functions,improve the understanding of rural revitalization and service-oriented government,and cultivate the main consciousness of farmers.Secondly,strengthen the construction of township governance capacity,realize the transformation of good governance concept,improve the governance ability of public servants,guide and supervise the participation of multiple subjects in governance,promote the socialization of government functions,and provide better public services for farmers.Finally,we should strengthen the reform of the administrative system,establish and improve the financial management system of the township government,tilt more preferential policies to the countryside,and promote the township government departments to complete the performance task efficiently.It can be seen that strengthening the transformation of township government functions not only promotes the implementation of the strategy of rural revitalization,but also helps to promote the construction of new countryside and ensure the good development of agricultural rural farmers. |
