Study On The "Bottle-neck" Of Promoting The Local Residents' Socialization In Urban Villages Of Taiyuan City

The rapid progress of urbanization and the development of urban village hasten the disintegration of the traditional mode of production and way of life, which, at the same time, are breaking the harmony and balance of the agriculture society. Meanwhile, with the development of urbanization and urban village, the new mode of production and the way of life have been established. Accordingly, how to make the inhabitants of urban village adapted to the new transformation of social structure should not simply be a critical problem for people's livelihood in social sciences, but a highlight in sociology study.It is socialization that makes human beings possess certain qualities such as values, code of conduct, knowledge, and techniques, which help human beings to survive and develop as an individual in a society. Hence, the author of the thesis assumes that the effective ways for the inhabitants to completely integrate themselves with the urban society involve their voluntary socialization as well as the enhancement of modernized qualities required by the modern urban society.Firstly, in terms of the actual state of urban villages in Taiyuan, the thesis focuses on Xiaodian District which contains the largest number of urban villages and also becomes the key area of city planning in the urbanization to the south of Taiyuan City. Then the author of the thesis makes the comparison between two typical urban villages in Xiaodian by analyzing whether the inhabitants of these urban villages have generally reaped the profit in transformation of their community. Furthermore, the research proceeding from the individual inhabitants in urban villages, the thesis throws light on the bottle-necks in promoting the local residents' socialization and makes good preparation for further socialization as well.Through the investigation and analysis, the thesis illuminates that the bottle-necks in promoting socialization vary with the actual state of the local residents in urban village. The residents living in generally-benefited urban village have gained relative advantage over the urban citizens; in other words, they have decent income and their own house and have less living pressure and risks, consequently, they are satisfied with the status qua and lack the motivation to promote their socialization by reason of the shortage of new knowledge and techniques; conversely, the residents living in poorly-benefited villages require more new knowledge and skills to seize the employment opportunity, but owing to inefficiency of learning, to some extent, they also fail to promote their socialization.Therefore, the author of the thesis assumes that we should drew up measures for the local residents' socialization promoting in terms of distinction of the actual state in these urban villages, not only pay attention to the requirement of the social environment but also the special fact of the local residents. And only by these can we succeed in promoting the socialization of the local residents.
