In modern Chinese society, community education has come to mean the development of the three-stage construction of the ward, street, and fundamental community. Previous studies on community education have focused primarily on ward- and street-centered community education. However, this paper, from the viewpoint of the local residents' spontaneity and autonomy, focuses on fundamental community education, which is not the community education led by the administrative staffs, rather an education in which the revolution of residents' own activities becomes the core element.
This paper discusses two topics. First, I review the previous studies on community education. Second, I discuss the characteristics found through clarifying the conditions of fundamental community education in the analysis of the selected case. The case selected was in one of the model wards of community education, the Tyuusan community in the Kyoko ward, located in Wuhan, China.
The results show that fundamental community education supports and advances the subjective awareness of local residents.
