Abstract

The deep embedding of digital technology is driving the transformation of local government governance models. However, there is a significant tension between the inherent fragmentation characteristics of the hierarchical system and the internal coordination requirements of digital governance. This paper integrates the theory of collaborative governance and the SFIC model to construct a four - stage analysis framework including initial conditions, catalytic leadership, institutional design, and collaborative process, and systematically analyzes the coordination dilemma and its generation logic of local government digital governance. The study finds that the coordination dilemma is essentially a systematic result of the superposition of multiple factors such as the lagging governance concept, fragmented technical standards, insufficient institutional supply, and cultural inertia. Therefore, this study proposes that we should promote the formation of a governance ecosystem with an organic linkage of concept - technology - institution - culture through paths such as connecting the data flow mechanism, strengthening the in - depth integration of high - level coordination and intelligent technology, constructing an institutional system that combines the rule of law and incentives, and cultivating an open and collaborative governance culture, so as to achieve the evolution of digital governance from fragmented response to holistic and intelligent coordination.
