Research On The Openness In Local Government Affairs In Wenzhou City

In recent years,with standardized and legalized openness of government affairs becoming an important part of the global political law system,the standardization of government affairs’ openness in our country is also rising.Local governments are often seen as the forefront of social governance,whose openness of localgovernment affairs is an veryimportant institutional arrangement for the government to be responsible for the people.However,there still exist problems such as arbitrariness of openness,low quality of the contents,inconsistent platforms,inadequate responses,and opaque service etc.Our question is— in the context of the upgrading of people’s needs,the rapid development of information technology and the accelerated transformation of local government functions,how should we develop the openness of local government affairs at the local level? At present,the construction of service-oriented,law-based and digital-oriented government is rapidly developing,therefore,how can the openness of local government affairs achieve synchronous transformation? Through reviewing foreign research and domestic,the author found that the existing research is mostly based on the perspective of political science,law and other fields,it focuses on the macro analysis theoretically,and specific practical research for the local government in public management perspective is still lacking.This paper starts from the perspective of public management,combined with a systematical reviews of related literature and an elaboration of the theoretical basis;it takes the case of Ouhai District of Wenzhou City as the research object with the development process and working mechanism of government affairs’ openness’ s the analysis framework.Through field research,case study and other methods,the present situation of local government affairs’ openness in Wenzhou City is analyzed in detail,the existing deficiencies and their causes are explored,and the countermeasures and suggestions for optimizing the development of local government affairs’ openness are put forward.This paper finds that the current development of local government affairs’ openness in Wenzhou are faced with many dilemmas,for example,the openness structure of the government is imbalanced,information given and demand don’t match,the overall operating efficiency is low and the supervision is insufficient.The main reasons are as follows: future development orientation is not clear due to the vague legal responsibilities;the economic orientation leads to insufficient input into public guarantee elements;a lack of a standardized and universal system leads to low work efficiency,and the "responsibility homogeneity" system leads to the lagged public supervision system.Therefore,the local government should be guided by the public demand,adhering to the developmental ideology of integration and standardization so as to build and improve the standard service system of the government affairs’ openness,the factor guarantee system,the standard service system and the multiple supervision system.The aim is to create an integrated openness system of the local government,facilitate every open sector to be integrated so as to prompt seamlessly integrated services featuring closed-loop feedback.This will not only help standardize the openness of government affairs at the community level and build a service-oriented government,but also improve the business environment and government services.Moreover,it will also provide inspirations for the better use of government information in serving economic and social activities.
