Daning Road Street was established in February. 1985. Located in the north-central Zhabei District, with an area of 6.24 square kilometers, accounting for 2 1.4% of the total area. This is the biggest street in the whole area. There are 18 neighborhood committees (3 preparatory committees) and 1 natural village management committee under the jurisdiction of the street, with a permanent population of 26,675 households and 7 1204 people.
After more than 20 years of development, the form, function and civilization of Daning community have been continuously improved, and remarkable progress has been made in all work. 1999 Daning was built into a municipal civilized community. Comrade Xu, then mayor, happily wrote an inscription for the street: "Live and work in Daning". In recent years, the street has won more than 70 national, municipal and district honors, such as the national advanced collective of population and culture, the national model unit of patriotic support for the army, the national advanced community of urban sports, the national demonstration street of community education, the national demonstration community of creating a learning family, the Shanghai civilized community, the Shanghai demonstration street of community construction and the Shanghai demonstration street of harmonious community construction. Judging from the current development situation, the street mainly presents the following characteristics. To sum up, it is the "four districts":
The first is the emerging business district. Daning is located in the core area of the "Pan-China" strategic layout of the whole region. The central prosperity, which consists of Daning International Commercial Plaza, Shanghai Circus City, Maritime Cultural Center and Daning Lingshi Park, is gradually taking shape.
The second is the science and education gathering area. There are complete educational units in the community. As one of the "One Zone and Six Parks" in Zhangjiang National High-tech Industrial Development Zone, Shanghai University Science Park is located here. Shanghai Beigao Technology Service Industrial Park and the Tenth People's Hospital, Tongji University Affiliated Stomatological Hospital, Zhabei District Chinese Medicine Hospital, Zhabei District Maternal and Child Health Hospital and other well-known cultural, educational and medical institutions are located in it.
The third is the area with convenient transportation. The first north-south main road in China, which integrates elevated, rail transit and ground roads, runs through the jurisdiction and intersects with Zhonghuan Road at Wenshui Road. There are three subway stations, such as Zhonghuan Road and Beijiao Logistics Park, within the jurisdiction of the extension of 1 line, which together with dozens of criss-crossing bus lines form a fast and convenient three-dimensional traffic network.
The fourth is the population introduction area. With the completion of a number of new commercial residential quarters, Daning Community has become a population introduction area and a famous gathering place for "outsiders" and "new Shanghainese".
Second, the basic situation of Daning community social organizations
In recent years, with the social transformation, development transformation and urban transformation, society has gradually changed from "unitary homogeneity" to "pluralistic heterogeneity", and people's material, cultural and living needs have become increasingly diversified. These changes are manifested in the social field, and the most direct result is the development and growth of social organizations. Judging from Daning's situation, in recent years, with the development of economy and society and the improvement of residents' living standards, social organizations have shown the characteristics of "rapid development and diverse types". According to statistics, by the end of 20 10, there were 40 social organizations in the community. Among them, there are 35 registered social organizations (from the organizational form, they can be divided into two categories: one is directly cultivated by Daning Road Street, such as community non-governmental organization service center, community elderly association, building group association, sports club, social worker workstation, community entrepreneurship association, entrepreneurship promotion center, etc. 10 non-governmental organizations. Most of these organizations are related to community governance functions and participate in community social construction in a certain field. The other kind grew up under the guidance and support of education, science, culture, health, sports and other departments of the municipal and district governments, and has a certain working relationship with its "mother", which can be regarded as the "antenna" or "arm" of all departments in the community. In addition, there are 105 unregistered (also known as "mass organizations") in Daning, which are divided into 39 sports and fitness, 32 culture and art, 22 public services and 12 leisure hobbies.
From the perspective of genetics, the first kind of social organizations (NGOs) belong to "exogenous" organizations, which are usually supported by a "parent organization" (usually the party and government departments) and have more or less certain government background; The second kind of social organization (mass team) belongs to "endogenous" organization, which is generally spontaneous and driven by the interests and needs of a certain group.
Judging from the development of organizations, the first type of organizations are relatively mature, and most of them have established relatively standardized management systems; The second type of organizations are mostly in the state of "self-organization" and self-management, and the management system and operation mechanism are still not perfect. In our Daning community, the "self-organized" mass team involves more people and is the main body of social organizations. According to incomplete statistics, people who often participate in such organization activities account for about 20% of the total number of community residents and 85% of community retirees. Faced with such new situations and challenges, the community (street) Party Working Committee, starting from doing a good job in mass work and consolidating the Party's ruling foundation, takes guiding and serving mass team organizations as the focus of the whole community social construction. Some of the practices I want to introduce below mainly refer to such social organizations.
Third, why should social organizations play a role in social construction?
Here we mainly introduce our understanding. Daning Street introduced the power of social organizations in social construction earlier and guided social organizations to play a role in social construction. We believe that this practical breakthrough is inevitable and necessary:
The first is the objective requirement of social transformation. The rapid development of socialist market economy has not only brought prosperity to the city, but also changed its social structure. The society is increasingly "complex and diverse", people's needs are increasingly diversified, and various social organizations have an environment and "soil" more suitable for their emergence and development. This puts forward new requirements for urban social construction in the new period. Instead of adopting the "unified" management mode in the past, we should take advantage of the situation, update our concepts, change our thinking and innovate methods according to the changes in social structure, give full play to the advantages of different social organizations, and establish a new pattern of social construction that meets the requirements of urban society.
The second is the realistic requirement of the transformation of government functions. Social transformation puts forward new requirements for the transformation of government functions. The omnipotent government is unsustainable in the new situation, and it must realize the transformation from "big government-small society" to "small government-big society". Specific to the field of social construction, it is necessary to change the traditional unified practice of "separating politics from society", realize "separating politics from society", give play to the role of social organizations in the field of social construction, and make the government realize the functional transformation from "management" to "service" in social construction.
The third is the inherent requirement of building a new pattern of social construction. Social organizations are composed of residents with the same interests and hobbies, which have natural advantages in social construction. With the improvement of community governance structure, the channels for social organizations to play their roles are increasingly extensive and unobstructed. Therefore, the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to improve the social management pattern of "Party Committee leadership, government responsibility, social coordination and public participation", which not only affirmed the role of social organizations, but also put forward specific requirements for grassroots social construction.
The fourth is the fundamental requirement for doing a good job in mass work. Social management, in the final analysis, is the management and service of people, involving the vital interests of the broad masses of the people. We must always adhere to the people-oriented, governing for the people, earnestly implement the Party's fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, take people's satisfaction and dissatisfaction as the starting point and foothold of strengthening and innovating social management, and closely combine strengthening and innovating social management with people's wishes and needs. Streets directly face the masses and have higher requirements for doing mass work well. The social construction of the community is to insist on serving the masses. Social organizations are groups composed of the masses that reflect their interests and demands. Let social organizations participate in social construction, that is, mobilize the masses to do mass work, let the masses educate, serve and unite the masses, which is not only conducive to the realization of grass-roots mass autonomy under the leadership of the party, but also a useful form of innovating grass-roots mass work methods.
Based on the above four aspects, we believe that entrusting some things that the government should not do and enterprises are unwilling to do to social organizations and guiding social organizations to participate in social construction through socialized operation is of great practical significance for further stimulating the vitality of social organizations and meeting the various needs of community residents.
Fourth, how to make social organizations play a role in social construction.
Here we mainly report some of our practices. How to make social organizations play a role in social construction? It is a problem that we have been thinking about and constantly solving. After years of practical exploration, we have accumulated some experiences and practices, but they are far from enough and need further practice and improvement. Leaders have profound insights and rich practical experience in urban social construction. Below, I will first report some practices that guide social organizations to play, be able to play and play a good role in social construction, and ask leaders to give more valuable opinions, which is also an important opportunity for us to further improve relevant practices.
(A) let social organizations "want to play" role
As mentioned above, many mass organizations belong to "spontaneous and endogenous" organizations, and do not have the conscious consciousness to play an active role in social construction, so it is necessary to solve the ideological motivation of social organizations to play their role. In this regard, we mainly start from the following two aspects:
1, * * * Cohesion and guidance of the same value goal.
Although there are various types of community social organizations, they also have something in common. Fundamentally speaking, they all reflect the interests and needs of the masses, and they are also important subjects in building a "harmonious community and a beautiful home". In order to better unite different types of social organizations and clarify the goal direction of social organizations, the Party Working Committee gave full play to the role of leading the core and planning the overall situation, and integrated resources such as community congresses, joint party building meetings, and party building research conferences. On the basis of various forms and multi-level investigations and discussions, and on the basis of the old mayor's inscription "Living and working in Daning", the community of "building a happy home to live and work in peace and contentment" was defined. Through extensive publicity, it has been recognized by all walks of life, internalized into the common value goal of various social organizations, and stimulated their enthusiasm and vitality in participating in social construction.
2. Explore the "four mechanisms" and strengthen the Party's guidance to various social organizations.
The party's guidance is very important to solve the ideological and cognitive problem of whether social organizations should play a role. The community (street) Party Working Committee takes the policy of "singing and dancing, talking and creating", pays attention to giving play to the advantages of the party's organization and mass work, actively integrates the resources of various social organizations on the regional party building platform, strengthens the party's guidance for the development of social organizations, and encourages and supports various social organizations in the region to carry out various activities around the central task of community development and play a unique role. In this regard, we have mainly explored and implemented four operating mechanisms:
The first is to establish the party's organizational leadership and work coverage mechanism in social organizations. According to the specific situation of social organizations, we have established an independent party branch in the service center of non-governmental organizations, equipped with full-time secretaries, to realize the daily management of the team and the simultaneous advancement of the party's political work; The general party branch and two-level party branch have been established in social organizations such as the elderly association and its subordinate film critics and the green volunteer service team. , and implemented dual organizational identity, dual organizational management and dual organizational activities; In other social organizations, the party's organizational coverage requirements are fulfilled by selecting or dispatching party member leaders, party building attendants and early warning information officers.
The second is to explore party member's "five-lead" mechanism in playing a team role. According to the requirements of party member's responsibility area system formed by Baoxian Education, actively advocate party member to play a role in its own activity area and achieve "five leading": party member takes the lead in self-discipline, leads and influences the masses, and creates an atmosphere for the healthy development of the team; Party member takes the lead in protecting homes, leading and influencing people to build safe communities; Party member takes the lead in self-service, leading and influencing the masses to create a warm and harmonious home; Party member took the lead in self-management, leading and influencing the masses to build grass-roots democracy; Party member took the lead in entertaining himself, leading and influencing the masses to sing the main theme of social construction.
The third is to explore the mechanism of coordinating and combining the party's political work with mass cultural activities. By mobilizing social organizations to carry out colorful cultural and sports activities around community development, we can enrich the spiritual and cultural life of community residents, promote the construction of civilized communities, safe communities and harmonious communities, continuously enhance the community influence, cohesion and guidance of grassroots party organizations in China, and consolidate the foundation of the party's mass work and social work.
The fourth is to explore the connection mechanism between social organizations outside the system and the joint meeting of party building. In view of the "out-of-system" social organizations managed by trade associations such as law firms and psychological consulting studios, we bring these social organizations into the guidance scope of community party organizations by giving full play to the territorial management function of community (street) party working committees, so that they can make full use of their own knowledge resources and serve the development of the community. At present, it has become normal for lawyers to enter the community to participate in the reception of letters and visits, and to go deep into the community to provide residents with free legal consulting services, which has been affirmed by visitors and warmly welcomed by residents.
(B) let social organizations "play" role
Based on the looseness and autonomy of social organizations, we believe that in order for social organizations to play a role, we must also solve the problems of the source and capacity building of social organizations. In this regard, we mainly solve this problem through the following four aspects:
1, establish a community social organization incubation base. According to the needs of social construction, we set up the first NGO service center in 2006 to strengthen the service function for social organizations, explore ways and means of incubating various public welfare social organizations, and increase the cultivation of public welfare social organizations. Since 2006, 2 1 non-profit social organizations have been hatched in the community non-governmental organization service center.
2. Strengthen the platform construction for social organizations to play their roles.
In view of the lack of platforms for some social organizations to play their roles, the Party Working Committee has built a number of platforms according to the characteristics of different social organizations, so that social organizations can play their roles with a stage and a carrier. Generally speaking, it mainly starts from two aspects: one is to integrate various resources in the community and build a stage for social organizations to display. For example, holding a cultural festival for buildings. Since 2006, we have held Daning Community Buildings Cultural Festival every year. The Cultural Festival of Buildings adopts the methods of Party Committee leadership, government construction, social coordination and residents' participation, which not only provides a platform for social organizations to show themselves and play their roles, but also publicizes the new trend of community civilization and harmonious buildings, continues the cultural context of buildings and strengthens the accumulation of community culture, greatly mobilizing the enthusiasm of the majority of social organizations to participate in community construction and attracting them to participate more in community construction. At present, five architectural culture festivals have been held, with more than one activity 10, and more than 30 social organizations with more than 6,000 people, which has become an important platform for social organizations to participate in social construction and play their own role. In addition, we also organized the community thousand-person team exhibition, the community science and technology festival, the community sports festival, the community sports meeting for the elderly and the "3? 5 "and" July 1 "service activities for the people and other large-scale mass cultural, sports and public service activities. Through these activities, we have built many carriers and platforms for social organizations to show their elegance and promoted the healthy development of social organizations. The second is to make full use of platforms outside the community to expand the service space of social organizations. In order to further improve the service level of social organizations, we regularly send some excellent social organization activities to participate in large-scale exchange competitions in cities, districts and countries, such as sending Daning Gong and Drum Team to participate in the National Drum Art Competition, sending Daning Ningxin Choir to participate in the 60th Anniversary Red Song Festival organized by Shanghai Musicians Association and Civil Affairs Bureau, and sending Jin Meng Fashion Team to participate in the daily performance of Shanghai International Art Festival, which not only unblocked the channels for social organizations to go to and serve the society, but also greatly stimulated the improvement activities of social organizations.
