| Since 1970 S,the point that governments produce and provide public services challenged by the Public Choice Theory.The production modes that the market subjects,social subjects,the public produce and provide public services began to get attention in the theoretical circle and to be applied in practice.However,because of the factors of resources dispersion and unsure quality or efficiency,the mode of the public producing public services was not only hard to apply in practice,but also usually considered as the same way of the public participation in public services.Since the starting of constructing service-oriented government in China,the mode of the public producing public services has became an important institutional arrangement,the words of the public service themselves in public services appeared in high level policies.This trend forms the institutional background for the development of the mode of the public producing public services.Taking the phenomenon of the public producing public cultural services as the research object,this paper combined the Coproduction Theory,the Collaborative Governance Theory,the Polycentric Governance Theory,and other relevant theoretical points.Based on the perspective and key construct of boosting collaborative production,the article expressed the framework of roles,motivations,actions,mechanisms,and results.Besides,the process of “let the public producing directly” in urban public cultural services revealed by the analysis of the case of the Street Art Performance Project in Chengdu.In the process of “let the public producing directly” in urban public cultural services,multi-subjects followed the logic of boosting collaborative production.Firstly,divided by direct production and auxiliary production,the public played the role of consumers and direct producers,objects in government,market,and society played the role of auxiliary producers.In particular,government subjects also played a key role as the leaders and coordinators.Secondly,the public’s demand orientation,the government objects’ task orientation,the market objects’ profit-seeking orientation,and the social objects’ development orientation provide driving factors for collaboration.Thirdly,the public serviced themselves in fore port,in the rear port,the government objects ruled and coordinated,the market objects technical supported,and the social objects propagated and guided.Fourthly,the process mechanism includes the trust mechanism as the initial condition,and the competition mechanism,feedback mechanism and resource sharing mechanism as operation regulations,as well as supervision mechanism and communication mechanism as constraint guarantees.Lastly,boosting collaborative production forms the public services delivery mode of the public self-service.Based on the perspective of boosting collaborative production,the study discussed the phenomenon of the public producing public services,and revealed the working logic of happening-achieving-outcome.The conclusions extend the theory of public services production,and provide beneficial enlightenment for local governments’ urban public cultural services innovation. |
