Community Underground Space Governance Based on IAD Framework: A Case Study of X Community in Nanjing

Abstract

Illegal use of underground space in the community is quite common in large and medium-sized cities, which easily leads to community security problems and conflicts, and is a thorny problem in community governance. Starting from the identification of the attributes of underground space resources, this paper explores the data from interviews, explores the governance dilemma of underground space in X community in Nanjing, and deeply analyzes the interaction process and behavior strategies of each subject in the context of underground space governance based on the IAD analysis framework. This study found that the underground space of community has some open and closed characteristics of Common-pool Resources(CPR), and has the possible conditions for residents to act together; fuzzy property rights, low rent, community attributes and other factors together form the dilemma of underground space governance; the key to the effective governance of this problem lies in perfecting the multi-level and multi-subject governance structure, and strengthening the autonomous action ability and sustainability of grass-roots organizations.
