With larger villages and residential areas, growing populations, and wider administrative boundaries, the workload at the grassroots level has risen significantly. Relying solely on village officials makes it difficult to fully understand people’s aspirations and promptly address issues arising within the community. Community self-governance groups therefore serve as one of the most effective ways to promote the people’s role as active participants in local affairs.
