Power Distribution: A Social Explanation For Space Evolution Of Self-built Community

Reviewing the self-built space in a long term, we have been discovering the kind ofbuilding behavior act upon the basic living demands is no longer a personal behavior, butextention behavior with as much as social relationships. It is the land system, propertyright system, economy system and other non-space systems performing in modern societythat influence the behavior occuring, the other hand, the behavior greatly depends on thedefinition and operation of systems themselves. If put eyes on the perspective of spatialevolution, we can see the space generally show a similar distributions and extension by thereason the space has certain private property status of the housing in spite of each behavioris numerous enough. What's more, different individual behavior easily influenced by otherpowers operation under complex social relationship in micro level, and result in social andregional characteristics in macroscopical ways. By this way of thinking, the paper studieson living space and social mechanism as well, sets up another logic observation methodbetween two sides.From the point of power effects, use sociology methods, the paper make research onspace development and the corresponding social power operation by a typical swatch,analysis different space status under each historical periods, micro power operationprocess and the relationship between space evolution and power mechanism in real society,summed up logics of the space and power structure.Combined with the study, space and power is intensively a pair of integration. Power,as main body in society, due to a characteristics of dimensional productivity, practice andreproduction, has an extensive and profound effection over the space. so the power-spaceeffects could be all-pervasively showed up. Since the effects is a kind of means for theindividuals and private powers to gain and distribute access to community space resources,the distribution process could also be effected by other powers directly or indirectly.Similarly, the relationship between private (or individual) power and space operation canalso be applicable to other powers with space operation, such as the public power and thecommon power defined by modern sociology. The different power operation and the corresponding space evolution also imply avital clue, that is the powers inevitablely start to operate from the point of having thediscipline of legal definition to obtaining the distribution conditions, so the property rightsof social space effect will be reflected, which make property characteristics of the societylaws in space distribution play a crucial role in the legal position, it determines the spacepower's ownership, with public and private defined, at the same time, a wide range ofpersonal psychology is produced by perception affected that make the space into public,private, common ownership, a total of three kinds of property relations, make the cityspace with a variety of power operations, which definitly brings about different spaceevolution.Therefore, the reality of space evolution between Power—Space are reflected by thepower distribution characteristics in all aspects of society. Through the definition of theproperty right arrangement, to produce the space—power interaction relations in theprocess of power operation. According to the distribution of the right of social rules,power is bound to each game including the individual and state owned, for the process tounfold, and then affect the space development trends. The distribution in the ways ofoperation by different powers is a very good explanation for the logic causal of behaviorbetween self-built and non-self-built under certain social power structure, andfundamentally reflect the reality of power relations between behaviors and space.Then, combined with the modern social power system reform and the game of powerstruggle of reality, according to the distribution of the right of spatial, relationships withinsocial power structure and system raised new requirements and challenges, which forcesurban space to have further embodiment of inherent power balance. With the point of view,self-built behavior has a historical connotation of measuring and balacing the social power,and is an indispensable and important part of urban space.
