Comprehensive Evaluation Of China’s Social Governance Index System ——Based On Spatial Econometric Analysis

Social governance has increasingly become one of the key areas of deepening reform in China.As an important means to promote social development,a sound social governance system is directly related to the local political construction and the overall development of the local people.As an important part of social governance system,social governance evaluation system reflects the evaluation standard of social governance level.The research on its measurement can provide more objective reference for the development of social governance,so as to improve the construction of social governance system.Taking 31 provinces and cities in China as the research object,this paper makes a quantitative analysis of the comprehensive evaluation of social governance from multiple perspectives.The research process is mainly divided into five stages: the first stage,through the collection of literature to clarify the relevant concepts of the research object,and according to the grounded theory analysis,summed up the five basic characteristics of China’s social governance.In the second stage,based on the characteristics of social governance and related theories,a comprehensive evaluation index system of social governance with 5 secondary indicators and 17 tertiary indicators is constructed.In the third stage,the BP neural network evaluation method is used to calculate the selected samples,and the comprehensive evaluation index of social governance of 31 provinces and cities from 2014 to 2018 is obtained.In the fourth stage,from the perspective of space and time,we use spatial interpolation analysis,spatiotemporal convergence model and other methods to study the evolution and distribution of the comprehensive evaluation index.In the fifth stage,on the basis of decoupling theory,the linkage relationship between economic growth and social governance level is studied,and the semi parametric spatial model and spatial lag model are used to empirically analyze the influence mechanism of economic growth and social governance level.The main conclusions are as follows:（1）From the perspective of spatial distribution,the differences of social governance level among provinces are obviously unbalanced.From the perspective of large regions,the distribution characteristics of social governance level of "East,northeast,West,central" are different from the economic characteristics of "East,northeast,West,central".Vertically,the level of social governance has been greatly improved in recent years.The comprehensive evaluation index of social governance has shown a steady upward trend on the whole,gradually forming a multi-layer highlevel social governance pattern,and the improvement is moving from east to west,which also reflects the close and relatively complex relationship between the development of social governance and economic growth.（2）Through the analysis of its evolution trend,it is concluded that the comprehensive evaluation index of social governance has the characteristics of temporal and spatial β convergence from the perspective of time and space,that is,the difference between the regions with lower level of social governance and those with higher level of social governance will gradually decrease in the future,and there is a trend from the peripheral region（lower level of governance）to the central region（higher level of governance）in the geographical location The phenomenon of catching up.（3）According to the analysis between economic growth and the level of social governance,economic growth does not have a simple "linear relationship" with the improvement of social governance level,but presents a "U-shaped" influence mechanism,that is,in a specific stage of economic development,economic growth will curb the improvement of social governance level to a certain extent,but when it crosses this specific stage,economic growth will decline Promote the development of social governance at a relatively faster speed.This shows that the relationship between economic growth and the level of social governance is relatively complex,and we should pay attention to the efficiency of social governance in a specific period of economic development.
