The governance of rural living environments is directly related to the sense of gain, happiness, and security of farmers, and is of great significance for comprehensively promoting the rural revitalization strategy, facilitating urban-rural integration, and improving the rural governance system. This project explores the governance measures, effects, and challenges faced by S County in Guangxi based on the practice of the "Thousand Villages and Ten Thousand Towns Project," using specific research methods such as literature analysis, field research, and in-depth interviews. And then summarizes the paths for optimizing rural living environment governance under the collaborative governance model from the shortcomings, extracts replicable and promotable practical experiences, and aids in the modernization of rural governance.
