Immersive Narrative and Theatre Drama: A Cultural Planning Approach to Cultural Education

Abstract: Immersive narratives have been recognized as an independent form of participation in theatre drama for some time now; therefore, its impact on cultural dissemination differs from other forms such as traditional theatrical performance or classroom teaching. Examine the ways in which an immersive narrative and theatre drama, intended to serve as deliberate cultural education channels within cultural planning systems. Based on Dewey's concept of experiential learning, Boal's Theatre of the Oppression, Schechner's Environmental Theatres Theory and Cultural Planning Approach, along with data from UNESCO and the Themed Entertainment Association, this article analyses four aspects of immersive theatrical cultural education to propose an implementing system model. As shown in the results, immersively integrated into a systematic plan for cultural development, it has produced Forms of cultural understanding, social participation and multicultural competence other educational models are unable to form effectively.

Procuratorial Transparency: Legal Basis, Institutional Evolution, and the Practice of Chinese Procuratorial Reform

Abstract: The legal basis of procuratorial transparency stems from the principle of popular sovereignty and the right to freedom of speech under China's Constitution, corresponding to the right to know and the right to access information under international covenants. It serves as the core system for safeguarding citizen supervision and regulating the operation of procuratorial power. China's procuratorial transparency was officially initiated in 1998 and has undergone multiple rounds of regulatory improvements, gradually forming an institutional system centered on the disclosure of case information, with synergy between online and offline platforms. In 2014, a nationwide unified case information disclosure network was established. In 2021, the scope of disclosure was further expanded to achieve full coverage of the "four major prosecutorial functions," with enhanced privacy protection and data release. In practice, procuratorial transparency has achieved remarkable results in enhancing judicial transparency, protecting the rights of parties involved, and facilitating social oversight. At the same time, current challenges remain, including a relatively narrow scope and format of disclosure, as well as the absence of a right to remedy mechanism. In the future, China should adhere to the principle of "disclosure as the rule, non-disclosure as the exception," adopt an exception-list legislative model, maximize the disclosure of law enforcement and case-handling information, improve the right to remedy channels, and build a more standardized, efficient, and transparent procuratorial transparency system with Chinese characteristics.

Multi-Subject Collaborative Mechanism for Grassroots Public Safety Governance: A Case Study of the “2·18” Fireworks Explosion Accident in Xiangyang

Abstract: Grassroots public safety governance is a fundamental part of the modernization of national governance. The “2·18” fireworks and firecracker explosion accident in Xiangyang, Hubei Province in 2026 caused heavy casualties, exposing a systemic failure of community safety defenses. Drawing on collaborative governance theory, this paper constructs a three‑dimensional analytical framework of “actor - authority - interaction” to dissect the mechanisms of multi‑actor collaborative failure in the accident. The study finds that business entities have shifted from safety guardians to risk sources, with profit‑seeking behavior and a fluke mentality leading to institutional dysfunction. The administrative system is characterized by fragmented powers and responsibilities, where formalistic supervision fails to address substantive risks. The interaction among multiple actors is disconnected, and information silos together with misaligned incentives result in a “core‑periphery” differential structure of the collaborative network. Accordingly, this paper proposes a three‑in‑one optimization path: clarifying the list of powers and responsibilities, enabling collaboration through technology, and building a governance model based on common participation, shared responsibility, and collective benefits, so as to promote the transformation of grassroots safety governance from fragmentation to holistic collaboration.

Enhancing Work Effectiveness of Highly Qualified Specialists: A Strategic Management Framework for Chinese Enterprises

Abstract: Chinese enterprises face persistent challenges in motivating and retaining highly qualified specialists (HQS), whose contributions are critical for innovation and competitiveness in the knowledge economy. While prior research has identified key psychological determinants of HQS work effectiveness-work engagement, organizational identification, value identification, and emotional belonging-little guidance exists on how organizations can systematically translate these findings into actionable management strategies. This paper addresses this gap by developing a comprehensive strategic management framework for enhancing HQS work effectiveness. Drawing on empirical findings from a large-sample survey of 562 HQS in Chinese enterprises and integrating established theories of motivation, social identity, and organizational behavior, the framework comprises four interconnected strategic pillars: (1) increasing work commitment through job design, autonomy, and challenge; (2) strengthening emotional belonging through organizational support, respect, and team cohesion; (3) enhancing organizational identification through fair systems, career development, and social status; and (4) cultivating value identification through authentic culture, value congruence, and ethical leadership. For each pillar, specific, actionable strategies are proposed, supported by empirical evidence from the current study. The framework recognizes the synergistic interrelationships among the four pillars and advocates for integrated rather than siloed interventions. This paper contributes a theory-driven, empirically grounded, and practically operational roadmap for Chinese enterprises seeking to optimize HQS performance, reduce turnover, and build sustainable competitive advantage in the global knowledge economy.

From Service Design to Social Governance: Extending Design Thinking into Public Service

Abstract: Design thinking is widely applied at various locations for problem-solving; it has gradually become a routine way of work among governments, NGOs and others to improve services or resolve complex social issues by means of orderly arrangement. Based on this paper, how Design Thinking is migrating from Service Design to Governance in general Social, What the Theoretical Foundation for such a transition Is and How it shapes Public Sector Practice through Human-centred approach. Based on international case studies and governance theories, the paper will identify the enabling Conditions and structural hindrances to this Process. Situate design thinking within the framework of participatory governance to explore its applicability in promoting reforms of the public sector across different nations. Based on the above analysis, Design Thinking provides a reasonable Pathway for Citizen Engagement and Policy Iteration among multiple agencies; Its introduction to Governance is not as straightforward as it seems.

Research on Spatial Integration Design of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Facilities in Future Communities under the Background of Low-Altitude Economy

Abstract: The rapid development of the low-altitude economy and the construction of future communities have created an urgent need for the spatial integration of drone facilities and residential buildings. Existing research mainly focuses on airspace management, industrial economics, and technical engineering, while research on the spatial integration of drone landing facilities from the perspective of architecture and urban planning is still lacking. This study proposes the concept of "vertical logistics interface" and constructs a typological framework of "building-drone" interface types such as rooftop, facade, and balcony. Based on the four-dimensional coupling analysis of "drone type-facility-population-policy", it establishes six design principles: technology adaptability, population friendliness, structural safety, spatial embedding, dual-use (normal and emergency), and intelligent interconnection. It proposes a "2+N" distributed network strategy to address the pain points of existing public take-off and landing fields, such as end-point gaps, land occupation, and functional isolation. Taking Hangzhou Yuncheng Hangteng Future Community as an example, the spatial integration design of two rooftop integrated hubs and N building micro-platforms was completed. The pioneering use of balcony retractable landing panels to achieve direct drone delivery indoors was achieved, constructing a three-dimensional integrated logistics network of "underground-ground-low altitude", providing a reference design idea for the construction of future communities in pilot cities of the low-altitude economy.

The Formation of Electronic Contracts in Chinese E-Commerce: Electronic Offers, Electronic Acceptances, and Procedural Regulation

Abstract: Electronic contracts have become a common form of contract formation in e-commerce transactions, but their electronic and platform-based nature has made the distinction between offers and acceptances more complex. This article focuses on the formation of electronic contracts in Chinese e-commerce, with electronic offers and electronic acceptances as the main line of analysis. Under the framework of the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China, the E-Commerce Law of the People’s Republic of China, and the Electronic Signature Law of the People’s Republic of China, it examines the legal nature of product page information, the effect of order submission, the role of payment, and the regulation of standard terms. It argues that electronic contract formation should be assessed within the overall transaction process rather than by isolated procedural steps. On this basis, the article proposes to refine the rules on webpage information, clarify the consequences of order submission, restrict the abuse of standard terms, and strengthen platform governance, so as to balance transaction efficiency, consumer reliance, and the legitimate interests of e-commerce operators.

The Relationship between Governing the Country According to the Constitution and Governing the Party According to Its Rules

Abstract: Governance in accordance with the Constitution, as the core of the rule of law in the state, and governance of the Party in accordance with its statutes, as the core of exercising full and rigorous Party self-governance, have each attracted a wealth of research; however, academic works specifically examining the relationship between the two are relatively scarce. A systematic analysis reveals that governance in accordance with the Constitution and governance of the Party in accordance with its statutes are highly consistent in terms of content, values, objectives, internal norms and historical continuity: in terms of content, they are mutually supportive, with the Constitution affirming the Party’s leading role and the Party Constitution stipulating the requirement to abide by the Constitution and laws; in terms of values, they share a common pursuit of fairness, justice and the rule of law; in terms of objectives, they are unified by the modernisation of national governance; in terms of norms, they respectively constitute the foundations of the national and intra-Party regulatory systems; and in terms of historical continuity, both stem from the Party’s long-standing practice of leading the development of the rule of law. Clarifying the relationship between the two will help to build a legal system with Chinese characteristics and advance the realisation of the grand goal of modernising the national governance system and governance capacity.
