Abstract

Rural governance, as the core link in realizing the rural revitalization strategy, is of unquestionable importance. It is directly related to the stability of rural society and the achievement of sustainable development goals. In the process of advancing rural revitalization, the effective conduct of rural governance is crucial to ensuring the implementation of various policies and promoting the all-round economic and social progress of rural areas. This paper focuses on Gaoyuan Village in Xindu District, Chengdu, taking it as a typical research object. Based on the collaborative governance theory and the new public service theory, through various methods such as on-the-spot investigation, data collection and analysis, this paper systematically and in-depth analyzes the current situation and challenges of rural governance in Gaoyuan Village. The research finds that Gaoyuan Village faces many urgent problems in the process of rural governance. The structure of governance subjects is single, mainly relying on government leadership, and the participation of multiple subjects such as social organizations and villagers is insufficient; in terms of industrial integration, there is a lack of effective connection between the primary, secondary and tertiary industries, failing to form a good situation of coordinated development; cultural inheritance is interrupted, and traditional village culture is at risk of being lost; the efficiency of ecological governance is low, and environmental pollution and ecological damage still exist. In response to the above problems, this paper puts forward a series of targeted and operable countermeasures and suggestions. Strengthen Party building leadership, give full play to the fighting fortress role of grass-roots Party organizations and the vanguard and exemplary role of Party members, and provide a strong political guarantee for rural governance. Construct a pluralistic governance system, encourage social organizations, enterprises, villagers and other multiple subjects to actively participate in rural governance, and form a good pattern of joint construction, joint governance and shared benefits. Promote the coordinated development of industries, strengthen the in-depth integration of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries, cultivate and expand characteristic rural industries, and improve the added value of agriculture. Activate the endogenous driving force of culture, thoroughly explore and inherit excellent traditional rural culture, carry out a variety of cultural activities, and enhance villagers' cultural identity and sense of belonging. Improve the ecological governance mechanism, increase the intensity of ecological environment protection, establish a long-term ecological governance and supervision mechanism, and realize the continuous improvement of the rural ecological environment. These countermeasures and suggestions aim to provide useful practical references for rural governance in the western plain areas and help the smooth implementation of the rural revitalization strategy.
