Shunqing, Sichuan: "leveraging" social capital to explore a new road to complete community construction

In 2023, the Ministry of housing and urban rural development and other departments released the list of complete community construction pilots. Zhongcheng Street stadium community in Shunqing District, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province is one of 106 community construction pilots in China and the only community in Nanchong on the list.

In recent years, the community has taken the opportunity of "creating the first batch of complete community pilot projects in China" and the idea of "platform co construction and market leveraging", through the establishment of community companies to develop community economy, led the formation of business and charity alliances, "leveraging" social capital and introducing "community partners", systematically revitalized the idle and inefficient assets of the community and explored a new road for the construction of a complete community.

Set up a community company to explain the operation of public welfare projects

The stadium community is located in the core area of Nanchong's old city. Every inch of land is worth an inch of money. To build a complete community and provide a series of hardware facilities, where does the money come from? What about subsequent operation and maintenance? With the increasing diversity of governance needs, the sub district Party Working Committee began to systematically plan the development of community collective economy, trying to open the "lock" of grass-roots development governance with the "key" of marketization.

Pengli, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Zhongcheng sub district, introduced that since 2023, the sub district has clearly put forward the overall positioning of "adhering to the guidance of Party building, sharing and co operation, revitalizing idle assets and income feedback", systematically promoted the registration and standardized operation of community companies, and the service scope covers many fields, such as property service in old residential areas, utilization of idle space, home service, etc.

The operation of community companies has realized the realization of resources and increased the company's income, which also provides a solid backing for people's livelihood services: it supports the normal operation of low compensation public welfare projects such as elderly care services, and captures the bottom line of property services in 9 "three noes" old residential areas. Up to now, the company has accumulated more than 2million yuan of income and 1.2 million yuan of surplus funds. At the same time, it took the lead in the establishment of a community charity alliance, attracted 12 enterprises and institutions and more than 100 merchants to carry out activities such as "charity collection" and charity replacement, and raised more than 30000 yuan of charity funds and materials; Seven volunteer service teams were set up, and 15 projects were carried out, including bathing for the elderly and delivering meals for the disabled.

Leveraging the "sleeping resources" of social capital to usher in Nirvana and rebirth

In early summer, strolling around Nanchong ring center, you will see a warm and lively scene everywhere. After the transformation and upgrading of the ring center, the spatial image has been optimized, the business district has been revitalized, the popularity has become more prosperous, and the environment has become more beautiful.

The circular center was once the core area of Nanchong's commercial agglomeration, with a large flow of people and a strong commercial atmosphere. With the change of times, problems such as aging infrastructure and imperfect supporting facilities have become increasingly prominent, resulting in a high vacancy rate of commercial entities. According to the relevant person in charge of Zhongcheng street, in 2024, driven by the street, the district's state-owned enterprises, led by community companies, comprehensively upgraded the original commercial service facilities and underground parking lots, so that the ring center can be reborn and become a new online red card punching place. Up to now, it has realized a revenue of over 100million yuan, stimulated consumption of nearly 200million yuan, and created more than 5000 jobs.

People eat in the community canteen

In Sangong street, the stadium community, tuanjieyimei Hotel, which had a poor business, has been transformed and upgraded into an elderly care service center after cooperating with the community company, and has now been put into use. Not far away, the 450 square meters of commercial space on the ground floor left unused after the relocation of the former "aunt Xie" snack bar is jointly run by the community company and the district owned state-owned enterprises. The community canteen provides meals for more than 300 people every day, and also provides door-to-door services for some elderly people with mobility difficulties in the area.

The relevant person in charge of the community company also said that by building a platform, the original inefficient and old commercial assets will be uniformly leaseback, and then more than 10 market entities will be attracted by means of low rent, joint stock and income sharing, and 35 public welfare food stalls will be developed to make idle resources "live".

Introducing "community partners" to build a "public welfare + low compensation" service matrix

"Self help throughout the whole process, complete intelligent equipment, and the cost as low as 6.8 yuan per time." recently, many citizens are exercising in the community shared gym. The community shared gym is one of the "partners" of the community. The community takes the initiative to take out the idle space and introduce a professional third-party operating company, SHUNFA fitness, to carry out low compensation services, so as to turn the stock resources into a position to benefit the people and realize the efficient utilization of resources.

In order to solve the problem of weak community resources, the community has successively recruited 4 state-owned "partners" such as SHUNFA industry and the district supply and marketing cooperatives, and 6 new business types such as haitaoguan and liliangfen. By signing cooperation agreements and clarifying the list of rights and responsibilities, the community has established a "1+n" team of "community partners" to coordinate community companies and link with the forces of N parties such as the authorities, public institutions, social organizations and residents in the jurisdiction, involving sports fitness, convenient commerce and trade, leisure reading, trusteeship counseling and other services urgently needed by the masses, so as to maximize the use of resources.

The precise connection between demand and resources has given birth to a series of inclusive services. Some partners provide free psychological counseling, reading clubs and other services for residents of the community. According to the needs of some residents who want to master professional skills and solve employment problems, the "partner" has also carried out more than 20 skill employment trainings relying on the old positions in the community.

"Leveraging the social capital investment of 16million yuan, invigorating 9 idle assets, and adding more than 1000 square meters of public welfare service area; the community canteen serves 350 person times a day, and the elderly care service covers 30% of the elderly population in the jurisdiction; the charity alliance has grown from scratch, and the community resource integration ability is remarkable, and the" community partner "mechanism has realized the" small profit sustainability ". According to the relevant person in charge of the community, the practice and exploration of building a" complete community "in the stadium community not only conforms to the expectations of the people, but also walks out a new path of" zero investment "by the government and" independent construction "by the community, providing Shunqing scheme and Shunqing wisdom for the construction of a" complete community ".
