Daiyue District Dongcheng Village: "Credit QR Code" Leads New Trends in Rural Governance

Original: https://cli.im/article/detail/2251

Entering Dongcheng Village in Xiazheng Town, under the backdrop of blue skies and white clouds, the village appears clean and tidy. The smart doorplates displayed at every household's entrance, bearing the message "Promote Honesty and Friendliness, Build a Harmonious Village Together," immediately catch the eye. Particularly, the QR codes on them—simply open your phone's scanner to clearly view the household's family members, credit status, and credit score.

Zheng Suhua, the credit administrator of Dongcheng Village, explained, "When looking for a daughter-in-law or a son-in-law, people used to have to inquire in the village about the other party's background. Now, there's no need for extensive inquiries—just scan the credit QR code at their doorstep, and everything becomes clear. The credit score is available anytime via scanning. Meanwhile, villagers can use WeChat to scan and check each household's credit score, further enhancing the transparency of data sources and ensuring credit scores operate under sunlight. This also, to some extent, imposes a restraining effect on the villagers."

The small credit QR code is part of Dongcheng Village's new "Credit+" rural governance model, which relies on the "Gandang Fen" credit benefit mobile platform and deeply integrates with various village-level tasks. Based on the credit score results, corresponding incentives or constraints are applied, encouraging villagers to consciously participate in rural governance.

Over the four years since implementing the social credit system development, Dongcheng Village has maintained a clean environment with conscious waste sorting, while also witnessing an increasing number of good deeds and exemplary behaviors. Transitioning from "scoring for rewards and penalties" to "conscious autonomy," Dongcheng Village vigorously promotes the construction of a Party-building-led credit demonstration village. Focusing on the "small entry point" of credit, it deeply cultivates the "big scenario" of grassroots governance, continuously enhancing villagers' enthusiasm to become credit users, improving the quality and efficiency of rural governance, and actively creating a "new model" for the development of harmonious and beautiful credit villages.
