The Effects of Multiple Dimensions of Urban Collaborative Management on Community Sustainability: Evidence from a Questionnaire-Based Regression Analysis

This study examines how multiple dimensions of urban collaborative management influence community sustainability, with a focus on government coordination, community self-management, enterprise participation, and cross-sector collaboration. A quantitative, cross-sectional survey was conducted among urban community residents. Data from 300 valid responses were analyzed using multiple linear regression to assess the effects of collaborative management dimensions on community sustainability. The results indicate that government coordination capacity and cross-sector collaboration have strong positive effects on community sustainability. Community self-management also shows a significant positive association, while enterprise participation exhibits a weaker but still significant effect. This study contributes to collaborative governance and urban sustainability literature by providing quantitative evidence on the relative importance of different management dimensions at the community level. The findings suggest that policymakers should strengthen coordination mechanisms and cross-sector collaboration while empowering communities as active governance partners to enhance sustainable community development. By adopting a multidimensional and empirical approach, this study advances understanding of how collaborative urban management practices jointly shape sustainability outcomes at the community level.
