| Abstract | Based on large quantities of questionnaires and interview, Sanya’s particularities and outstanding problems of public services and social governance can be formulated as follows: imbalanced urbanization strategies bring in disharmony and instability among social strata; accelerated industrial growth results in government lacking experiences in social services and urban management; diversified population structure leads to differentiated demands for public services and local governance styles; non-equivalence of duties, rights and benefits in administrative system with municipality manipulating district/town needs to be adjusted. Sanya faces three major challenges from urbanization, internationalization and democratization. Firstly, Sanya’s urbanization model shall be promoted from spatial oriented to humanity oriented. Secondly, as international tourism city, Sanya should live up to the international standards covering services provision subjects, collaborative method and appraisal system. Thirdly, plural participatory subjects jointly further Sanya’s democratization governance. The proposed vision “making our Sanya more wonderful” highlights the core value “We”. The implications of that shall be illustrated by three new characters: new social structure supported by compound subjects, new concept of making residents happy, and new city culture for lifestyle, spirit consolation and refinement cultivation. These update the traditional idea of Sanya’s development and provide direction for Sanya’s continuous improvement of public services and social governance. Re-drawing the setup of Sanya’s community shall be the main focus of the government. Considering Sanya’s particularities such as migratory bird crowd, the grass-roots governance characterized by both community workstation and neighborhood committee as flanks shall be established. Practical suggestions such as “three offices-three centers-three columns-one hall” for the standard of community infrastructure are proposed. Based on the framework of “four in one” in building “our Sanya”, suggestions are advanced: Firstly, “Sanya’s Public Services Committee” is to be established to regulate public service institutions all over the city, transferring from segmentary management to the governance of integrated services of work division and specialization. Secondly, division among municipal, district and town, This article is funded by MOE Funds for basic research project of key universities (NKZXTD1103) and supported by Program for New Century Excellent Talents in University (NCET-11-0255).
