Abstract: As a policy executor， how the grass-roots government should comply with policies to achieve policy goals and maintain grass-roots stability is a hot issue in the field of public policy. Based on the two-dimensional analysis framework of the rigor of task attributes and the degree of target group cooperation， the differences in the types of grass-roots government policy compliance are discussed. Through the multi-case analysis of policy compliance in the field of environmental protection policy in Town A， it is found that the local grass-roots government has differentiated policy compliance behaviors， which are embodied as follows: substantive compliance with waste management policies， formal compliance with burning ban policies， and double-substitute subsidy policies， perfunctory compliance and delayed compliance with the natural gas access policy. In-depth research has found that task pressure is the main driving factor. The higher-level government forces the grass-roots government to respond quickly to the task objectives through administrative mobilization， supervision and assessment， and punishment and accountability; the selective feedback cooperation of target groups is an important catalytic factor. Protest-style interest expression and wait-and-see passive waiting affect the compliance behavior of grassroots governments; in addition， the tension between the resource constraints and autonomous space of grassroots governments is also adjusting their policy compliance behaviors.
