Abstract

Digital technologies are increasingly empowering the construction of community governance communities, becoming an important aspect of advancing the modernization of national governance. A case study of the Ministry of Civil Affairs’ “National Experimental Zones for Community Governance and Service Innovation” using Grounded Theory reveals that this process involves reconstructing the community governance ecosystem through the dynamic interaction of technological and governance logics. Specifically, digital technologies empower the reshaping of governance concepts, the cultivation of community consciousness, and the innovation of participation mechanisms, shifting community governance actors from passive response to proactive co-construction, thus solving the problem of “who governs”; they empower the adaptation of governance structures, the opening of governance spaces, and the clarification of rights and responsibilities, constructing an institutional framework for “how to govern”; they empower the activation of social capital, the integration of service resources, and the convergence of data elements, solving the resource allocation problem of “what to use for governance”; and they empower the precise matching of service needs, the improvement of public service quality, and the collaborative resolution of conflicts, achieving the goal of good governance of “why govern”. This study transcends the traditional narrative that views community governance subjects as passive recipients of technology, and provides an explanatory path with Chinese characteristics and universal significance for how modern urban communities with low connectivity and high mobility can achieve the ecological construction of a community governance community.
