Order of Precedence Between Local Laws of Cities with Subordinate Districts and Regulations of Provincial Governments Clarifying Premises for Discussion Based on the Characteristics of Laws

The lack of descriptions regarding the order of precedence between the local laws of cities with subordinate districts and the regulations of provincial governments in Legislation Law of the People's Republic of China(Legislation Law) has led to two divergent views. One holds that "the local laws of cities with subordinate districts should take precedence over the regulations of provincial governments," while the other supports the exact opposite. This is a value judgment issue in legislation. To reach a solution, we need to clarify the premises based on the characteristics of the laws in question so that a basic common ground can be established for discussion. The first premise for traditional legislation is that a law should be based on experience as well as logic; the second is that the experience of authority subjects, plus the three aspects of logic should outweigh the experience of social subjects, plus the three aspects of logic. With respect to postmodern legislation, the first premise is that experience should override logic, and the second is that the experience of the authority subject should take precedence over that of social subject, with no requirements for logical consistency. Since Legislation Law fal s into the category of postmodern legislation, according to the premises, the argument that the local laws of cities with subordinate districts should take precedence enjoys wider acceptance, but the view is logically challenged in terms of conceptual consistency, system consistency and principle consistency. More studies must be conducted to facilitate the discussion.

Research on the Performance Evaluation Index System of Frontier County Governments in China ——Taking Hekou County as an Example

At present, the overall economic and social development of our country is fast, but the rate of development of the remote land and territories in the land is still far behind the speed of the inland and the east. This has also triggered a series of frontier issues. This requires our frontier government to strengthen border governance, seize the opportunity to meet challenges, and at the same time we must also strengthen the assessment of the governance capacity of the frontier government. This article hopes that through the actual investigation and study of frontier counties and the consideration of border issues according to local conditions, a set of performance evaluation index system for frontier county-level governments will be proposed, which will help the frontier government in border control.

Big Data Framework for Kenya’s County Governments

Digitalization is transforming governments across the globe. At the national level, down to regional and multiple departments in the public institutions, unprecedented change is occurring exponentially as a result of massive digitalization. Digitalization is compelling governments at all levels to embrace voluminous data and institute appropriate multi-channel platforms to support digital transformation. While this is the case, most governments have been caught unprepared thwarting maximum benefits spurred by digitalization. Inherently, the social media and e-participation tools for generating huge amount of data have convoluted most governments’ appetite in Big Data management. This situation is further compounded with the slow pace of adoption of these technological tools by citizens and the public sectors. For enhanced e-citizen satisfaction and engagement, as well as e-participation processes, public institutions need to promote engagement and collaboration. In view of advancing benefits to their citizens, public institutions need to institute appropriate measures to collect citizen’s data. The information collected is vital for public institutions in actualizing what services the citizens want. Using literature reviews and cases, the authors examine Big Data benefits in counties and propose a Big Data model to improve efficiency of e-governance services and productivity in county governments. The authors demonstrate Big Data framework has the aptitude of molding citizen’s opinion in county decision making process. Better use of e-technologies is shown in the proposed model which illustrates sharing resources among various data analytics sources. Our proposed framework based on Big Data analytics is a viable initiative to progress effectiveness and productivity, strengthen citizen engagement and participation and encourage decision-making in e-governance services delivery in the counties.

Spatial Governance of Multi-Plan Integration in the County Area:A Case Study of Sihui City

This study discussed the contradiction and reform experience of multi-plan integration in Sihui from the perspective of spatial governance.The research found:in terms of contradictions,the right and responsibility of management departments in the county area of Sihui were crosscutting,the township governance responsibilities needed urgent improvement,the urban-rural governance problems were different,the spatial governance elements were not unified,and the contradiction in the implementation mechanism was the implementation of projects.Through the multi-plan integration reform,Sihui reconstructed the right and responsibility relationship of the spatial governance departments,unified the elements of spatial governance,and refactored the implementation mechanism by reconstructing the transmission mechanism of the spatial planning system and the project approval mechanism and establishing the dynamic evaluation and adjustment mechanism.

Spatial prediction of landslide for Badong County in the Three Gorges reservoir district

By using the landslide risk evaluating model and the advantages of GIS technology in image processing and space analysis, the relative landslide hazard and risk evaluating system of the new county site of Badong is built up. The system is mainly consisted of four subsystems： Information management subsystem, hazard as- sessment subsystem, vulnerability evaluation subsystem and risk prediction subsystem. In the system, landslide hazard assessment, vulnerability evaluation, risk predictions are carried out automatically based on irregular units. At last the landslide hazard and risk map of the study area is compiled. During the whole procedure, Matter-Element Model, Artificial Neural Network, ancl Information Model are used as assessment models. This system provides an effective way for the landslide hazard information management and risk prediction of each district in the Reservoir of Three Gorge Project. The result of the assessment can be a gist and ensure for the land planning and the emigration project in Badong.

The general laws of the evolution of the county governance in our country before the founding of the new China

Since the Qin Dynasty started the county system to the foundation of China, ＂county＂ has been the basic unit of the centralized state in our country. Although the county-level governance mode is stable, its evolution has laws to follow. Generally speaking, the rules are that the scale of the county government is small for a long time and the governmental functions in the long term are fixed. The roles of the clan organizations in the social governance are increasingly strengthened and the slow development and roles of other social organizations outside the clan organizations are increasing.

The Differences between County,County-level City and Municipal District in the System of Administrative Divisions in China

Administrative division is an important means of political power reorganization and management,resource integration and optimal allocation,which profoundly shapes the spatial layout of urban development in China.To clarify and compare differences between counties,county-level cities and municipal districts is the primary premise for the study of administrative division and urban development.This paper analyzes the institutional differences between counties and county-level cities,as well as counties,county-level cities and municipal districts,from the aspects of organizational structure,urban construction planning,land management,finance,taxation and public services.The research shows that the establishment of counties,county-level cities and municipal districts adapt to different levels and stages of economic and social development,and the conversion from county to county-level city and the conversion from county(or county-level city)to municipal district are both important transformation ways to change their administrative systems,which has different management system and operation pattern.At the same time,the transformation of county-level administrative region is also a“double-edged sword”,we should think about the administrative system as a whole to decide whether it should be adjusted,and effectively respond to the actual needs of local economic and social development.

Dual-objective pattern optimization method for land suitability zoning in mountain counties

As the basic administrative unit of China,counties have grown rapidly in recent years in the context of rapid urbanization,especially for counties located in mountainous areas.The drastic changes in land in mountainous areas can easily cause irreversible damage to the sensitive ecological environment.Through the dual-objective suitability zoning of ecological and construction balance,regional sustainable land use patterns can be realized.In this study,Hantai District in Southern Shaanxi province,China,was chosen as the research area aiming at creating a balance between ecological supply and the development of construction in spatial planning.A dual-objective process evaluation system for ecological protection and construction development was proposed with 15 resistance factors selected from three attributes:natural ecology,economic society,and policy.The minimum resistance surface discrimination methods for ecological land and construction development land were proposed based on vertical space superposition and horizontal minimum cumulative resistance models.Finally,the land in Hantai District was divided into four development grades from the optimal angle of dual goals,i.e.,the construction core zone being 134.56 km^(2),the suitable construction zone 115.77 km2,the ecological buffer zone 153.74 km^(2),and the ecological control zone 151.93 km^(2),using the method combining resistance difference and threshold division.In addition,the development direction of each town under jurisdiction was identified.This study compensates for the deficiency of traditional methods that evaluate land only from a single vertical or horizontal process.

Effectiveness of Hospital Management Committees in Busia County, Kenya

The Kenya Ministry of Health restructured the health sector in 2009 with the goal of promoting and improving the health status of all citizens. It established the Hospital Management Services Fund to be managed at the facility level by the Hospital Management Committees (HMCs). Since the establishment of the HMCs at the county level following the devolution of health services in 2016, no evaluation has been done to assess their performance in Busia County. We assessed the criteria, selection process, orientation, induction, and the performance of the HMCs in Busia and considered their implications for Kenya and similar contexts in Africa. Data were collected by purposive sampling of all HMC members in six level 4 and one level 5 hospitals through Focus Group Discussions and key informant interviews. Documents collected both at the facility and county levels were analysed and used appropriately. All seven hospitals evaluated did not fully comply with the National Guidelines. Three (43%) of the hospitals nominated persons with educational levels below the required O-level certification. Another 3 (43%) contravened the Constitution of Kenya (2010) by excluding persons with disabilities and minorities. The study identified systemic commissions and omissions in the recruitment process, leading to anxiety and frustrations by members of HMCs, staff and the catchment population of the respective hospitals. In conclusion, the nominated HMC members have no legitimacy to assume their roles and responsibilities as they have not been gazetted, appointed, oriented, and facilitated.

Assessing the Role and Significance of Chiefs in the Governance of Cape Coast, Teshie and Kumasi Societies in Ghana

The study sought to assess the role and significance of chiefs in the traditional governance system of Cape Coast,Teshie and Kumasi communities in Ghana.This study employed the case study comparative approach.A total of 85 participants were selected for the study using the snowballing method of sampling.Data were collected using a four-point Likert scale questionnaire.Data analysis and presentation of results were done by using mean and standard deviation.The study revealed that chieftaincy as an institution is deeply rooted in the local communities.It further revealed that a chief is both the politico-military and religious head.It was recommended that there is the need for the modern state to go beyond just involving chiefs in only sod cutting ceremonies and other state functions to include them in the implementation of local development policies.Further to this,the roles and functions of traditional authorities and local government officials must be well-defined and agreed upon and the public must be made to understand this delineation of responsibilities brought by the government.

国内县域治理研究30年:议题、转向与展望

县域上承省市、下统镇村,是国家治理现代化进程中的重要一环。基于文献计量分析法,采用CiteSpace软件对30年来CNKI中的1138篇以“县域治理”为主题的“北核”和CSSCI期刊文献进行分析后发现,国内县域治理研究的三个演进阶段与国家政策关联度较高,尚未形成核心作者群且各机构间缺乏深入交流。研究议题主要聚焦于县域政府治理现代化、县政改革与府际关系、县域基层治理与县乡关系、县域贫困治理与脱贫攻坚、县域乡村振兴与共同富裕等领域。研究前沿呈现出由县政改革转向社会治理、由城乡二元发展转向县域城镇化建设、由县域脱贫攻坚转向县域乡村振兴、由县域基层治理转向市域社会治理、由传统官僚制管理转向县域智媒体治理等趋势。未来,在中国县域情境下,应突破学缘与地缘关系限制,坚持质性与量化方法并重,加强理论与实践层面的整合研究。

县级融媒体中心深度发展的几个关键问题

县级融媒体中心是地方党委政府“治县理政”的抓手与平台,作为一种战略安排,融媒体中心有其技术、经济、政治与文化时代背景,数字信息技术不断革新下的挑战与机遇,使得县级传统媒体必然转型为融媒体中心,因而其生产者构成、职能部门构成、渠道构成、产品构成、受众构成、社会构成等必然有新的规律和特点,但本质上依然是一种新闻机构。这就要求我们从宏观、中观、微观等层面来把握这种战略安排,对融媒体中心深度发展的逻辑遵循、核心构成、地方价值、舆论引导和文化建设的理解,就成为管理者、研究者和从业者所有工作的重中之重。

非正式治理的制度化运作:管区制与乡镇治理现代化的路径选择

管区作为一种非正式的组织设置,在乡镇与村级治理单元之间建构出实体性质的中间结构,具有低成本、非正式性和制度稳定性等特点,成为乡镇政权的延伸。管区设置虽然增加了乡镇内部的“委托—代理”层级,但通过行政体制上的形式化设置和实践中的非正式运作,具有了超越科层体制约束的优势,借助激励动员和组织重构实现了有效治理。管区借助乡镇内部人力资源的重新配置,在不变体制的情况下进行机制创新,实现了非正式治理的制度化运作,匹配了当前乡村社会转型和治理转型的需求,成为当前强国家治理背景下探索乡镇治理现代化的一条可行路径。
