Abstract

With the acceleration of digital transformation, community governance is facing new requirements of intelligence, collaboration and refinement. As an important bridge connecting the government and residents, community education not only undertakes the function of knowledge dissemination, but also plays a key role in improving residents' digital literacy, stimulating public spirit and promoting collaborative governance of multiple subjects. Based on the typical cases of the smart community of Guicheng Street, Nanhai District, Foshan City and the traditional community of Zhangcha Street, Chancheng District, this paper systematically sorts out the main mechanisms of community education participation in governance under the background of digitalization through literature analysis, policy interpretation, case comparison and other methods, including multi-subject collaboration mechanism, education empowerment mechanism and digital platform support mechanism. The study found that although there are significant differences in digital foundation, resource supply and resident participation among different types of communities, community education can effectively promote the transformation of residents from "governance objects" to "governance subjects", providing ongoing support for improving governance efficiency. This paper further proposes optimization strategies, including improving the construction of digital platforms, strengthening the empowerment of specific groups, and improving the multi-coordination mechanism. The study not only enriches the theoretical connotation of the integration of community education and governance, but also provides practical inspiration for promoting the modernization of grassroots governance, bridging the digital divide and achieving educational equity.
