Chinese urban slum problem is not a simple problem of poverty, but anation-state construction and modernization process, the country with the city to buildorder problem. China's urban slums are the majority of those in poverty, vulnerablegroups are concentrated in urban communities. Communities in these cities dirty,chaotic, poor condition of the decline can not be simply attributed to the urbanpopulationand the increased complexity of staff and otherreasons, its poverty and thedecline of the process is a complex structural problem. The reason of the decline ofurban slumand poverty is complicated andvarious, and the currentChinese systemofDanwei and the weakening of the digestion process are treated this complex systemofspecial macro background, in particular, are strong in the Danwei system of thenortheastChina, Danwei systemchanges long-termand complex nature of urban slumfor understanding the formation and transformation of essential questions provide aframework forthe background.System of Danwei profound traditional north-east China makes the formation ofurban slum and the characteristics of Danwei in the system by the impact ofinstitutional change. However, this causal relationship is often the system of Danweito cover up differences within the city caused by the complexity of urban slum andparticularity. Research about the System of Danwei is often a prerequisite for theimplied assumption that the "Danwei" is a whole different, non-state power throughthe unit of social control and resource allocation is also no difference on average. Inother words, the city in the Danwei system and on society, the scholars are oftenconcerned about how to set up Danwei in order to certify that the flats are completeand comprehensive, but ithas overlooked the effectof the Danwei. Therefore, the Chinese urban slum as a "Chinese problem" lies in the uniqueposition, the formation of urban slums and order can not be separated from researchon the vertical structure of China's modernization and Danwei study developmentprocess, it can not be separated at a horizontal angle of up , the Danwei of analysissystemof internal differences and the different units in the city caused by the effectofthe characteristics of differentcommunities and internal order.Therefore, we can draw a basic conclusion thatChina's urban slum should notbea reason why the existence of its own to coverup the problem of poverty by specialorder, because the town between state power and society there is a delicate balance.That is, in China, there is no absolute state of society, but also there is no absoluteindependent of the society outside the country. This is in the country and society-typelong-term country-led process of modernization of the product of complexinteractions.First of all, the Danwei system to show the edge of the uniqueness of thecommunity order. In the form of urban social space, differences between Danweiwithin the system often leads to a number of different units of mixed-typecommunities. Communities with large-scale industrial Danwei as the mainbarrier-type communities, mixed communities often show a number of units in atypical system for marginalized social order. Generally manifested in the followingareas:(1) Relatively small scale of the physical space dispersion. "Mixed community"in general is located in urban areas, are some of the production of smallercommunities scattered.(2) Strong heterogeneity of the social space. In the development process ofDanwei, apart from the outskirts of town the new large-scale industrial community,the city mixed urban communities within the city unit is also an important aspect.However, such communities often show a relatively limited degree of unitcharacteristics. The region for many small and medium-sized enterprises of thestate-owned enterprises and collective enterprises, their production scale, productionequipment, personnel and technology as mandatory conditions for large-scale state-owned enterprises. Therefore, the mixed community is a sense of identity withthe non-heterogeneity of a single social space. Belong to different people because oftheir different nature and scale of enterprises, their production activities and socialinteraction is also different. In addition, the different forms of enterprises of thedifference between the welfare system, will cause the residents of mixed-typedifferences anddivision.(3) Relatively loose control of society. Mixed communities between residents andthe country a "survival ethic"based on a relatively loose control of the relationship.On the one hand, the streets - neighborhood "system to show to human relations andpersonal authority of the soft charm of control as the carrier. On the otherhand, eventhough in mixed communities, the relationship between the country and the residentsof loose, but there has to maintain a delicate "survival of the ethical"relationship. Inotherwords, the country in maintaining the basic livelihood of the residents on basicsecurity, the community will remain astable social order.(4) Ability to adapt to the diversity of external. Danwei at the institutional changesand social transition, the performance of mixed communities ability to adapt to theexternal characteristics of a more flexible. The nature of the nature of units andresidents have shown a strong heterogeneity of mixed communities, in the unit andremove loose system of social transition, start its internal differentiation.Differentiation of the differentgroups of people, in adapting to changes in the externalsystem on the problem, showing the diversity of survival strategies. In addition, thecommunity is a open area. The community will always attract large foreignpopulation living here has become alien populationentered the city the firststop.Secondly, countries in the shaping of urban slum of the importance of order.Although the existence of the units are not complete, the state is relatively looseforces, relatively independent of the society in urban communities, but it also can notbe separated from the integration of country and protection.(1) After the founding ofthe country on the brink of transformation and mobilization of communities.(2) In theprocess of social transition, the community of the shanty towns of the country theprocess of structural and institutional arrangements mustexistrelated to each other.(3) Transformation in shanty towns, squatter settlements as vulnerable residents and tomaximize the benefits of market forces encountered when the shanty town at thestability of the internal order, national forces are an essential key to strength.(4)Transformation in squatter communities in order to build the country still are anindispensable force. Transformation in urban slums, the residents would notmove-back to improve their living conditions, the automatic out of poverty status,may also result in the formation of new squatter settlements. Therefore, themove-back room of the community building community is our community considerthe move-back new order of the essential means to build. Government should putattention on these hidden in the high-rise housing of vulnerable groups, themove-back community to increase public investment in the community more jobs,improve the income of the move-back residents, fundamentally alleviate or eveneliminate the poverty status of vulnerable groups.Third, the complexity of urban society and social construction. Social construction"of "society" itself is complex, and is not no difference in the homogeneity of thecontinuum. In the social construction and social questions on the production, somescholars emphasize the "civil society" and "citizens movement" a quiet one way tomove society to cultivate autonomy and public nature. However, "civil society" and"civic movement"paradigm, including the "citizen"is not complete, the residents ofsquattersettlements city is nurturing society groups have been neglected. Even thoughthe population itself is a multi-benefits and the differentiation of groups, moredifficult to form a unified identity of the Class, and Class in the form of non-scatteredin the society. However, there is no fixed class, does not mean that society does notexist on such a group, their needs and civil rights inherent in our society shouldconsiderthe subjectof greatimportance.
