Behind Community Co-Governance, Haiyang's Three Lessons A Practical Local View

Co-governance in practice

Haiyang's community co-governance rests on three lessons: entrust professionals, draw clear responsibility lines, and design inclusively so charging serves everyone.

Responsibility and safety

Contracts fix patrol frequency, response time and settlement; centralized protected facilities with auto-stop cut risky hallway charging. The "unified construction, unified service" model lets professional operators build and maintain chargers in older communities.

Inclusion matters

Large-print signs, card payment and on-site help keep elderly residents inside the system. In Haiyang City, Dongdian Huichong (Dongshang New Energy) runs 24/7 smart monitoring with a local maintenance team, offering survey, construction and managed operation for communities and public sites.

In Haiyang, co-governance works when professionals, clarity and inclusion line up. Charging then serves the whole community, including the elderly, rather than only those comfortable with new technology, and that breadth is what makes it durable. When all three line up, the service survives staff changes and budget cycles because it rests on roles and habits rather than on one enthusiastic person.
