CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES OF COMMUNITY PLANNING TRANSFORMATION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SOCIAL CAPITAL:A CASE STUDY OF H COMMUNITY IN GUANGZHOU
With the advancement of urban governance and the development of new media technology,social networks in large urban communities have been restructured,and social capital elements such as local knowledge,neighborhood attachment,social norms,and common behaviors,have been constantly accumulating.However,community planning is characterized by institutional deficiencies and lack of conditions,and faces the pressure of"pushback"from community governance.Taking the proactive public participation in the"regulatory planning adjustment"of H community in Guangzhou as an example,this paper examines the role of social capital and planning demands in the process of community planning through interviews and questionnaire surveys.The empirical evidence shows that the role of social capital in large urban communities has been gradually highlighted under the role of planning catalysts,which is manifested in the initiative of public participation and the significant increase in the community's ability to cope with planning interventions,revealing the real problems such as the"mismatch"of the public participation mechanism and the"threshold"of the grassroots governance system.Therefore,to further promote the transformation of the community planning mechanism,it is necessary to innovate the public participation mechanism to adapt to community demands,improve the local knowledge crowdfunding platform to cultivate social capital,and deepen the community planner system to fill the gap of grassroots governance,so as to ultimately form a new model of community planning under the rational collaboration of multiple actors.
