How to overcome the governance challenges of "migratory bird" communities ?
Enhancing the level of grassroots governance is a crucial lever for advancing the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas, promoting urban⁃rural integration, and realizing Chinese modernization. China is currently in a phase of large⁃scale urbanization focused on improving quality and efficiency within the existing urban fabric, facing multiple challenges such as demographic shifts and the integration of agriculture and tourism. In this context, effectively governing "transient communities" (or "migratory bird communities") that must proactively adapt to change has become an important issue. This paper takes a "transient community" in central China, which is based on the development of an agriculture⁃tourism industry, as a case study. Using social capital theory, it reveals the action logic through which the Party cultivates society to achieve effective governance. The research demonstrates that Party building leadership, through a governance logic of value integration, actor linkage, and institutional provision, fosters the development of social capital elements within the community—such as network relationships, trust, and norms. This approach breaks through governance dilemmas like the population inversion caused by non⁃locals in "transient communities," achieving a virtuous cycle of "enhanced community governance efficacy + feedback for the development of the agriculture⁃tourism industry." This study not only demonstrates an effective pathway for the Party to cultivate society but also provides a theoretical foundation and policy insights for addressing common challenges of community integration within the development of the agriculture⁃tourism industry.
