Through the "organization network" and "service network" in the "five levels and four networks" of the community, the model gives full play to the role of responsible organizations in grid governance, and strives to enhance the responsibility of the government and public officials and their responses to the needs of citizens, thus breaking the division of blocks and avoiding bureaucratic risks.
