Therefore, it is the objective demand to build a service-oriented government and deepen the community management reform to improve the quality of social work services, enhance autonomy of urban communities,and promote the establishment of scientific management system of community, social organizations and social workers; Also, it is the inevitable choice to enrich community life, arouse community awareness, and raise life quality of the community residents.This paper took the residents of Yaleju Community in Qianjiang City as the sample,adopted the Parking Union project as an example, and discussed from a micro level the method for social work to get involved in the incubation of community organizations and enhance the autonomy of community residents through literature study, field study and unstructured interviews. In the literature, the author found that most of the studies on the intervention of social work in community residents' autonomy were merely in the theoretical research level and a great majority of the existing practical researches were engaged in the levels of case and small group.
