Obstructive factors and development strategies of China's water environment governance under river chief system:an analysis based on the perspective of public value theory
The river chief system is an important measure for China to improve the water governance system and promote the construction of ecological civilization.This study adopted the public value theory as the research perspective,constructed an analy-sis framework based on the Moore value strategy triangle model,and discussed the environmental governance of the river chief wa-ter environment through field research in Jingmen City,Hubei Province.From the 3 dimensions of public value,support,and oper-ational ability,analysis has found that there are several hindrance factors,namely,public value selection bias and trust loss,insti-tutional defects and lack of"civilian"energy,and insufficient resource integration and collaborative action capabilities.To solve the practical problems in the governance of the river chief system and realize the long-term effectiveness,stability,and survival of the river chief system,we should adhere to the mission as a priority and pursue the maximization of public value set;optimize in-stitutional design and expand public support;through digital empowerment,the ability of resource integration and collaborative gov-ernance is improved as a whole,to realize the"river chief system"and promote"river governance for long".
