Abstract：Promoting digital transformation has become an important direction for governance innovation at grassroots level. Digital transformation of grassroot governance is a significant upgrade and an overall remodeling of governance modes. Based on the holistic governance theory, this paper analyzes the overall situation of digital transformation of grassroot governance from three perspectives of ecology, logic, and strategy. The findings are as follows. First, an open ecosystem is an important cornerstone for the holistic digital transformation of grassroots governance. Embedded in the grassroots governance process, digital tools have reshaped grassroots governance ecology and massively expanded the grass-roots governance space by establishing the “network-based” governance task field, expanding the scope of “inclusive” governance subjects, creating a “cooperative” governance model, and building an “instant” governance response space. Second, the conception of technology-assisted governance is the mainline logic of the holistic digital transformation of grassroots governance. By virtue of various digital technologies and approaches, the grass-roots governments can straighten out their governance structure, bridge governance gaps by means of information transmission, make it easier for multiple subjects to engage in grassroots governance, and build a two-way grassroots governance link. Finally, the successful application of digital strategies is an important indicator of the holistic digital transformation of grass-roots governance. Building a normal digital governance platform, putting more effort in improving multi-subject governance capabilities, developing digital governance approaches and tools, and systematically cultivating digital governance talents should be the key strategies to step up the holistic digital transformation of grassroots governance.
