城郊社区结构异质性及其治理模式选择——基于网络治理视角

Structural Heterogeneity of Suburban Communities and the Governance Mode Selection——A Study from Network Governance Perspective

我国城郊社区结构的异质性变化引发了一系列社会管理问题,传统的强化管控方式应对乏力。从网络治理视角出发,运用人口、空间、组织和综合网络中的信任、目标共识、参与者规模与社区能力需求等权变因素,探究不同类型社区对治理模式选择的解释逻辑。结合定量数据和定性资料,对天津市城乡接合部的两个典型社区进行比较分析,发现弱异质性结构社区的网络联系紧密且牢固、节点数量少且集中,适宜采用参与者共同治理模式;强异质性结构社区的网络联系松散且薄弱、节点数量多且分散,需要采用领导者协调治理模式。

The heterogeneous change of suburban community structure in China has triggered a series of problems in social management,in answer to which the traditional way of strengthening management and control seems quite feeble.From the perspective of network governance theory,this paper explores the explanatory logic of different types of communities in choosing the right governance modes by applying the contingency factors such as trust,shared goals,participant size,and community capacity needs in population,space,organization,and integrated networks.Based on quantitative and qualitative data,this paper conducts a comparative study of two typical communities in an urban-rural fringe area of Tianjin.It is found that the community of a weak heterogeneity structure is closely and firmly networked with scarce but centralized nodes,so it is suitable for a participant-co-governance mode while the community of a strong heterogeneity structure has a loose and weak connection with a network comprised of numerous and scattered nodes,so it needs to adopt a leader-coordinated-governance mode.
