Exploring service design from the grass-roots level of a governments’ public ecosystem: The case of J province
Abstract
The modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity is one of the major strategies of national development. Service design is contributing its unique role and value to promoting the modernization of the government service system and improving the efficiency of national governance, but the current research is still relatively insufficient. This paper is a preliminary discussion on the application of service design to promote the construction and development of the grass-roots government's sustainable convenience service ecosystem, based on a public service project of administrative examination and approval we did in a town government in J Province in 2021. We hope this paper will serve as a reference for relevant practice and research.
