Research on Building a Community of Social Governance in Rural Areas and Effective Governance on the Community Level： A Case Study of Village S at Town L of Shunde District in Foshan， Guangdong Province ???4

LIU Lijuan

Abstract： Building a community of social governance is impossible without the participation of multiple subjects. In the practice of community-level governance in rural areas， most of the existing studies focus on the connotation of social governance community from the macro level， as well as the difficulties facing its construction and how to build such a community. From the perspective of governing population mobility in China and building China into a country brimming with vigor and vitality， this paper makes a thorough study of village S at town L of Shunde district in Foshan， Guangdong province. It is found that through the mechanisms of mutual interest， the making of public rules， involvement of multiple stakeholders， and emotional integration， different stakeholders including the government， collective organizations at the village level， ordinary villagers， and floating population in rural areas can pull together in co-governance， and their functional advantages can be exerted in the process of co-governance to form a community of rural governance that shares the same values and emotional identity.

Exploring the All-area Land Consolidation Tools From the Perspective of Land Development Rights： A Case Study of the "Three Quotas" Policy in Nanhai District， Foshan ???19

LIANG Xiaowei， LIAO Manhua， YUAN Qifeng

Abstract： The all-area land consolidation is the key to steadily promoting the reform of the rural land system， but different consolidation modes will result in uneven allocation of land development rights， making it easier for projects endowed with land development rights to be implemented but more difficult for those reduced of or terminated from land development rights. From the perspective of land development rights， this paper explores three typical cases of the "land reclamation for land， land reclamatio for house， and ecological land for land" （or the so-called “three quotas”） policy in Foshan's Nanhai district. The implementation mechanism of the "three quotas " policy is essentially an effective tool and an important path to protect the collective interests of villages and help implement comprehensive land consolidation through compensation and transfer of land development rights. Establishing and improving the transfer and compensation mechanism of land development rights is conducive to promoting the implementation of comprehensive land consolidation， solving the problem of a sudden， drastic loss of land income caused by changes in land use types， advancing reform of the rural land system， and promoting rural revitalization and urban-rural integrated development.

Research on the Status Quo of Night-Time Economic Development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and How to Upgrade Its Energy Level ???31

WANG Maotao

Abstract： The night-time economy （NTE） is often regarded as merely the consumption at night and has not been attached full importance to. On a review of its evolution and development， night-time economy is defined as a general term for production， consumption， distribution， exchange， and other economic activities carried out at night. NTE activities are meant to achieve balance and sustainability among new economic， social， and environmental factors. The study emphasizes that in such a historical period when China's economy is committed to high-quality development and the replacement of old growth drivers with new ones， expanding NTE， including night-time production， is of great significance for urban and regional development. Following the introduction of the reform and opening up in 1978， the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area （GBA） has been the forerunner in NTE development and is still a leader today. This study summarizes and analyzes the driving force of night-time production， the spatial layout of night-time consumption， and the current supply of night-time business categories of NTE development in the GBA， before advising on how to upgrade its energy level.

The Theory Logic and Promotion Path of Regional Night-Time Economic Development： A Case Study of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle ???71

HUANG Shikun

Abstract： This paper constructs a theoretical analysis framework of the regional night-time economy （NTE）， including the logic of supply and demand， of government-market relationship， of spatial layout， and of competitive and cooperative advantages. Based on this framework， there is strong NTE demand and diversified NTE supply in the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle. Many cities within the economic circle saw the？roll-out？of policies which are conducive to NTE market development. On a preliminary basis， it has initially formed a spatial pattern with Chengdu and Chongqing taking the lead and other cities also blooming in NTE， manifesting competitive and cooperative advantages to a certain extent. However， problems still existed， such as the limited supply of business categories， government functions yet to be fully played， spatial layout lacking systematic planning， and competitive and cooperative advantages waiting to be enhanced. These problems can be addressed from four aspects by improving the market system and the supply-and-demand pattern; building a better business environment and giving full play of government functions; optimizing the spatial layout and forming a new economic geography of NTE in the economic circle; creating new regional competition and cooperation advantages of NTE based on its resource endowment.

National High-Tech Zones and Urban Eco-Efficiency： A Quasi-Experimental Analysis Based on 228 Cities ???81

LI Zicheng， WANG Jue

Abstract： Based on the panel data of 228 prefecture-level cities in China from 2006 to 2021， this paper uses the spatial differential method to investigate the impact of the establishment of national high-tech zones on urban ecological efficiency. Results show that the urban ecological efficiency manifested a fluctuating upward trend and increased by 36.84% during the observation period. The establishment of national high-tech zones is conducive to improving urban ecological efficiency， especially the ecological efficiency of geographically adjacent cities， with the results of a series of robustness tests being significant as well. The heterogeneity test shows that the establishment of national high-tech zones has a more significant impact on the ecological efficiency of small and medium-sized cities as well as big cities. The mechanism analysis shows that it has improved the ecological efficiency of cities in three ways： structural upgrading， policy orientation， and technological progress.

URBAN GOVERNANCE

Community-Level Governance Through Party Building： A New Framework for Estate Management in Urban Residential Communities ??95

LIN Huihuang

Abstract： Resident autonomy through multi-party negotiation is widely adopted in the estate management of urban residential communities. In practice， resident councils are organized and estate management companies are hired to manage on behalf of all the residents. Such a governance mode of urban residential communities brings problems though. Community-level governance through Party building emphasizes the "meta-governance" function of Party organizations at the primary level， optimizes the autonomy ability of estate owners and resident councils， and relies substantially on the rule of law， and is therefore suitable for the estate management of urban residential communities. Community-level governance through Party leadership can help reflect on the nature of urban governance and better understand China's governance framework that combines Party leadership， people's ownership， and law-based governance.

WANG Haixia， CHEN Xiaohan

Abstract： Minors have been exposed to various social problems and risks in the process of rapid urbanization. It has become a key academic issue as to how to develop a social support system and form a joint force for minors' protection in order to involve child-friendly concepts in bringing out the full potential of high-quality urban development. Based on its valuable experience in building the system of minors' protection， Foshan's Co-innovation Social Service Center has shifted its priority from being just a professional social service agency to forming a new model of social cooperation by effectively mobilizing the participation of business and industry based on professionalism， therefore stimulating innovation in urban public policies. In addition to being more professional in terms of social services， the paper focuses on what else can be done to help ease social differentiation from the local and cooperative perspectives， and bring out the full potential of high-quality urban development with child-friendly concepts and contributive efforts from the whole society.

Keywords： child-friendly; minors' protection; to bring out the full potential of high-quality development; new concept of charity; social services

Characterizing the Distribution of Urban Vitality and Spatial Governance Strategies Based on Multi-Source Data： A Case Study of the City Center of Guangzhou ?????146

WEI Zongcai， HUANG Weichao， WANG Shifu， TANG Qijing， HUANG Jun， HUANG Shaoqi

Abstract： Enhancing spatial governance for urban vitality plays a vital role in modernizing national governance systems and governance capacities. This paper takes the city center of Guangzhou as an example to build a binary urban vitality model of population and environment and uses multi-source data to measure the coordination degree between population and environment vitality. It is found that in the fringe areas of the city center of Guangzhou， urban vitality is relatively low and function compositions are limited. The coupling coordination degree between population and environment vitality needs to be improved as well. Based on this， the paper proposes from four dimensions， a targeted urban spatial governance strategy for Guangzhou's construction into a dynamic global city： public space making， activating industrial space in marginal areas， providing multi-level governance channels， and encouraging public participation. Hopefully， this will provide new ideas of spatial governance for the construction and promotion of Guangzhou into a dynamic city， as well as practical reference for the spatial governance of cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
