Abstract:In China, arising from the need of grassroots selfgovernance, the commonly used concept of “community” stresses the clear geographic and administrative boundary. However, due to the fact that in rural China, the young working people usually study and work away from home while their hukou registrations are kept at their original home places, the drawing of clear community boundary becomes a challenging task. Base on the strengths perspective methodology, the paper attempts to propose new strategies of rural community reorganization by reviewing the process of localizing the concept of “community” in China, analyzing relevant foreign experience and combining the practices of post-disaster reconstruction of Caojia Village in Baoxing County in Sichuan Province.
