In order to improve the quality of community management, this paper briefly introduced the concept of community grid management mode based on the system database and conducted a case study on Taocheng District, Hengshui City, Hebei Province. The local community grid management mode used in the area was introduced; moreover, the effectiveness of the community grid management mode was evaluated using the framework of the analytic hierarchy process. The results showed that with the full implementation and improvement of the community grid management mode, the efficiency, effectiveness, and benefits of the community management significantly improved.

Improvement of urbanization level not only enhances the economy * Jie Bai 1 Technological University of the Philippines, 0900 Manila, Philippines 2 Department of Public Administration, Hengshui University, No. 1088, Heping West Road, Taocheng District, Hengshui City 053000, Hebei, China but also leads to an increase in the resident population due to the attraction of talents. For a city, an increase in the resident population can bring more revenue, but it also increases the difficulty and cost of management; once the management level is reduced, the living standard of city residents will be seriously affected [2]. A lower standard of living will make the city less attractive to talents, which will inhibit economic development and result in a vicious circle. At the same time, as the urban population increases, communities emerge. In the face of the increasing urban population and increasingly complex community structure, traditional community management methods can no longer meet the needs of community management, and the emergence of Internet information technology has led to the emergence of community grid management mode [3]. Wang et al. [4] provided a community service architecture based on WebGIS technology through grid management and crowdsourcing services, applied it to Huangdao District, Qingdao, and won the title of “2015 National Social Governance Innovation Typical Case.” Lee [5] designed a smart home management system. The community intermediary role in the system integrated community services, thus reducing the workload of community managers, providing electronic information services, and deepening the integration of the community with the surrounding environment. In response to the epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019, a grid-based management of the community is needed to implement precise control measures. Ling et al. [6] considered that grid management mode could promote the refinement and comprehensiveness of community management and help strengthen the prevention and control of community epidemics. This paper briefly introduced the relevant concepts of the system databasebased community grid management mode and performed an example analysis of Taocheng District, Hengshui City, Hebei Province. Besides introducing the local community 13 Vol.:(0123456789) J. Inst. Eng. India Ser.

Community Grid Management Relevant Concepts The traditional community management mode is dominated by government agencies, which take the lead and implement a top-down management approach [7]. When community management is implemented, instructions are given by the top government authorities and then decentralized to the grassroots level; in the above process, the middle management level is only responsible for the transmission of information [8]. Also, due to this top-down management mode, the grassroots report their feedback to the higher authorities at different levels under regular circumstances, and people may even run around in different departments because the feedback involves different departments. The rigidity of the government-led management mechanism also leads to the difficulty of correcting decisions made at the top that are far from the grassroots and deviate from reality. In addition, the missing of the communication mechanism between different departments makes cooperation between departments more difficult, which ultimately makes the community inefficient. The development of modern information technology has promoted the reform of community management mode. Under the guidance of “putting people first,” the community (including urban, rural, street, etc.) is divided into plural grid areas according to the set division standards, modern information technology is applied to digitally manage the grid area, and the grid data are integrated and managed in the digital platform [9]. In simple terms, a large community is “reduced to pieces” and allocated with managers for management. Since the community grid is smaller than the whole community, the grid managers can easily grasp the information of the residents in the grid, so that the decision can reach the grassroots level. In community grid management, government agencies delegate management authority to the managers of community grids, i.e., they mainly play a guiding role in community management, so that organizations closer to the grassroots, such as enterprises, institutions, and residents’ autonomous organizations, can jointly participate in community management. A network information platform is used to connect management units between different grids to realize the integration, communication, and sharing of information resources, avoiding lack of cooperation induced by information disruption in management units of different grids, and the management processes specified in the platform are used to improve the efficiency of collaboration [10]. 13 System Database‑Based Community Grid Management Figure 1 shows the time sequence of grid information processing when using the system database-based community grid management mode to manage the community. When using this management mode for community management, it is necessary to first divide the community into grids according to the population size, community road planning, setting of enterprises and institutions, etc. Every grid is used as the responsible unit and work carrier and is allocated with an appropriate number of (...truncated)
