Since the 1990s, China ’s urbanization has continued to accelerate. From reform and opening up to 1996, China ’s urbanization has grown at a rate of less than 1% per year, and since 1996, it has grown at a rate of more than 1.3% per year and has maintained 12 years of rapid growth. By 2020, the national urbanization rate will probably reach 55% -60%. In order to serve the city's planning and construction, a large amount of rural land around the city has been requisitioned, and the pace of "village and settlement" and the transformation of urban villages has accelerated. The number and scale of resettlement communities across the country has shown a rapid increase. To a certain extent, the living environment and economic conditions of the residents after demolition have been improved, and the process of urban-rural integration and the construction of civilized cities have been further promoted.

However, the rural residents' original living habits are difficult to change, the urban and rural education levels are very different, and the follow-up of infrastructure construction is delayed. Compared with traditional urban communities, demolition and resettlement communities generally have difficulties in environmental sanitation and infrastructure maintenance. Difficulties, difficult public security management, and many property disputes. Difficulties in Governance Therefore, how to effectively manage these communities and establish a reasonable community-based governance model has become the focus of follow-up urbanization.

Yao Xiangyi Future Community Children's Sports Center Daily Free Activities

With the growing popularity of parent-child activities, the community parent-child education QQ group and WeChat group have been established one after another under the guidance of non-profit organizations, and the regular “Parent Meetings” have provided community parent groups with online contact, Channels for offline participation in "discussion". In September 2015, Yijiale Public Welfare and Yaoxiang Community reached an in-depth cooperation and co-construction. The community took out the children's pavilion site on the third floor of the health service station, which was operated and managed by people, and entrusted it to Yijiale Public Welfare. Therefore, under the guidance and planning of the staff of Yijiale, the "Emilion Future" project supported by the Yongzhen Charity Foundation was introduced. Through discussions at the "Parent Meeting", parents reached a consensus and action plan: Give the children in the community a public indoor activity space where they can grow up together. Let's build the "Yao Xiangyi Future Community Children Sports Hall" together.

In December 2015, the "Yao Xiangyi Future Community Children's Sports Hall" officially opened a public welfare trial operation. The museum has a wealth of picture books and sensory sports teaching aids supported by the Yongzhen Charity Foundation. The staff of Yijiale Charity Service Center is responsible for the operation and management. The Yaoxiang community supports the basic site. The venue opens every Friday. The -6-year-old parent-child family provides a wealth of activities such as sports games, picture book stories, parent-child craftsmanship, early education classes, free play, holiday parties, parent classes, and so on. At one time, "Yaoxiang Community opened a children's sports hall for free classes The news spread in Yaoxiang community.

However, the full popularity has caused huge operational pressure on the venue. The overloaded reception of more than 100 people a day and the poor parenting habits of residents have begun to cause headaches for the staff. Some parents took the staff unwilling to bring their children into the library without wearing urine and wet. As a result, there were occasional “no main urine traces” in the library; “mutual” greetings between children caused some parents Disputes between them; it is obviously an exclusive public welfare class for children aged 3-4 years, but it is always interrupted by young climbers of 1-2 years, because some parents are unwilling to let their children fall behind and force their children into the classroom team ......... At this time, the "Parents' Council" began to play a role. "Rules promotion, volunteer collaboration, and point management" are the solutions to these problems discussed at the parent salon. In order to make the children's activities more orderly, parents worked hard to come up with various methods. Slowly, various "parents' notices" were posted in the pavilion. Volunteers, grandparents and grandparents wore red armbands and volunteer vests, introduced venues, guided the application of volunteer point cards, exchanged volunteer service points, Persuading uncivilized behaviors, organizing everyone to clean up, maintaining equipment ... And these are all because parents have reached a consensus that everything is for the children's future.

As the children grew up day by day, watching the parents' volunteers preach and teach, the voice of "I will also be a volunteer" shouted from the children. On March 5, 2016, "Learning Lei Feng Day", in the community's mutual help market, Yao Xiang's first child volunteer team was established. The children took the hands of parents and raised funds for visiting grandparents through the community bazaar; through community promotion initiatives and trash picking activities, they called on everyone to protect the community environment with their own little voices ... and others were positive The children, after getting familiar with the staff of Yijiale, also "stared" at a "Botanical Garden Balcony" that was usually "very mysterious and wondered why" on the third floor of the community building. "Can we play there?" "Can we take care of the flowers and plants over there?" With these voices, the staff of Yijiale Public Welfare immediately communicated with the community and received support, and began to plan to turn the community's "Botanical Garden Balcony" into a community base for 7-12 year-old youth volunteer activities and popular science learning.

Under the guidance of the staff, at the discussion meeting of the "Little Leadership Club" in Yaoxiang Community, the children also started their imagination and discussion, thinking about how to turn that beautiful balcony into their own paradise. . Soon after, the "Tire Rhapsody" series was released. The children followed the art teacher to turn the car tires into colorful, cute and practical "babies". Nearly a hundred tires were transported to the balcony. The flower beds, the fortresses of real-life CS games, and the beautiful sceneries, and in the planting class, the waste bottles, biscuit boxes, and storage boxes are also in the hands of teachers and children, slowly changing It has become a beautiful and childlike plant growth bottle, bringing laughter and laughter to the plant balcony, giving it a new luster.
