Research On The Complex Network Of Social Solidarity And Continuous Protection Of Traditional Villages In A Case Of Hubei Province

Traditional villages are a precious heritage of human agricultural civilization and an important support for comprehensively promoting rural revitalization in the new era.Currently,the protection and utilization of traditional villages are showing a trend of emphasizing social culture as well as centralized and contiguous protection.As space for urban and rural cultural memory,traditional villages have rich social history information storage.Focusing on social memory and looking for the internal social connection between traditional villages is of great significance for protecting traditional culture and enriching the protection modes of traditional villages.Therefore,the study takes 270national-evel traditional villages in Hubei Province as the research object,and constructs a social memory intensity evaluation index system to explore the current situation of social memory preservation in traditional villages.Then the study uses complex network analysis method to analyze the social association status of traditional villages,and identifies clusters suitable for continuous protection,then constructs a comprehensive pattern of continuous protection and utilization of traditional villages based on important ancient roads and water systems,providing reference for the protection and development of traditional villages.(1)The social memory intensity of traditional villages.Construct a social memory intensity indicator system around geographical,human,and cultural connections to measure the current situation of social memory in traditional villages.The results show that the overall social memory intensity of traditional villages in Hubei Province is at a medium to upper level.Among them,the strength of geographical memory and contextual memory is at a moderate level,while the strength of human memory is at a moderate to upper level.Among various indicators,the intensity of social memory such as topographic features,water sources of rivers and lakes,clan names,allusions and legends,and architectural art is relatively high,while the intensity of social memory such as spatial pattern,historical features,village building times,historical figures,cultural beliefs,performing arts,and social customs is relatively low.In terms of administrative district distribution,traditional villages with high social and cultural memory intensity are mainly distributed in Enshi,while traditional villages with high geographical and human memory intensity are mainly distributed in Huangshi,Enshi,and Huanggang.In terms of spatial distribution,high value areas of social memory intensity in traditional villages are concentrated in eastern and western Hubei,while high value areas of geographical memory intensity are mainly distributed in eastern Hubei,while high value areas of human memory intensity are widely distributed in southeast,northwest,and northeast Hubei.High value areas of cultural memory intensity are more concentrated in southwest Hubei.(2)The complex network of traditional village social solidarity quantifies social solidarity based on the correlation between traditional village social memory and spatial distribution,and constructs a complex network model of traditional village social solidarity using complex network analysis methods.The overall network analysis results show that the complex social connection network of traditional villages in Hubei Province has a large overall connectivity,with extensive village connections,but uneven spatial distribution,concentrated in southwest,southeast,and northeast Hubei.At the same time,the overall vulnerability of the network is low,with free clusters and nodes mainly distributed in northwest and central Hubei.From the perspective of degree correlation,networks have a positive degree correlation,with high value nodes often closely adjacent in the network and clustered and distributed in space.The results of local network analysis show that the network can be divided into 27 cohesive subgroups with distinct structures,and can be subdivided into super communities,large communities,medium-sized communities,small communities,and micro communities according to their size,with small and micro communities accounting for the largest proportion.Larger subgroups are mainly distributed in southwest,northeast,and southeast Hubei,while smaller subgroups are mostly distributed in southwest and northeast Hubei.Most condensed subgroups have low structural compactness and loose node associations.Adjusting the composition of agglomerated subgroup nodes in accordance with the principle of geographical proximity can yield 27 traditional village clusters that are spatially contiguous and socially related to each other.Their association characteristics generally exist in three situations: concentrated but not rich associations,balanced and rich associations,and balanced but not rich associations.(3)The pattern of continuous protection and utilization of traditional villages.Follow the main idea of connecting points,stringing lines,and forming a continuous protection and utilization pattern of traditional villages.Firstly,according to the results of social memory intensity analysis,the protection order of traditional villages is determined,and priority,priority,and general protection villages are divided.Sort out and analyze important ancient transportation roads in Hubei Province,and combine the river system to sort out feasible routes connecting traditional village nodes.With traditional village clusters as the basic unit and ancient roads and water systems as the axis belt,four types of contiguous protection areas with ancient road cultural characteristics are constructed,including the Chuanyan Ancient Road contiguous protection area,the Nanxiang Aidao contiguous protection area,the immigrant passage contiguous protection area,and the natural waterway contiguous protection area.From this,the overall pattern of "point line surface" contiguous protection and utilization is formed.At the same time,put forward development suggestions around the facility system,traditional culture,spatial environment,and participation mechanism.
