Research On Metropolitan Suburban Rural Community Space

In the contextof new-style urbanization, there is a basic consensus onthe issue about whether the rural problems can be solved is relative to success of China’s modernization and social long-term stability. Thus, Special significance will be granted to the rural communities when the search perspective of urbanization is transited from industrialization and urban to agriculture and rural areas. Along with development of the modernization of rural society, the coexistence of boycott and adaptation, effectiveness and costs, shows a picture of the unique Chinese style, which responses to the rural community simultaneously in the evolution and change. Currently in China, there exist problems such as weakness of rural economic development, the aging of the working population, severe ecological crisis, inadequate supply of public services, and other issues. Particularly for construction in villages and towns, the lack of grasp of rural characteristics and the respect and continuity of local culture takes serious. And in social governance, the above-to-below management or construction model does not meet the objective requirements of the social autonomy tradition and rural development in China’s rural areas. Also in construction of the theoretical system, it lacks planning theory and technology focused on rural development characteristics. As to the series of problems, it still stays in the cognitive stage and practically exploratory stage. Confined to project planning features and anxious state of mind in rural construction, it always prefers space re-construction of rural communities, but lacks research on the social space. While in rural restructuring background, rural communities have broken the framework of urban-rural structure, showing a space style——urban-village continuum" ——which is characterized in internal duality. Based on summarization of existing relative researches in theory of semi-urbanization, as well as the corresponding basic of sociological theory. This article attempts, taking Jiangning District Zhoucun community in Nanjing City for sample study, to undertake social space research of suburban rural communities close to metropolitan, which is typically dualistic. The empirical research goes through two sides——the whole social pattern and individual behavior space, which determines that suburban rural communities close to metropolitan——typically like Zhoucun——have this remarkable feature. Additionally, it is hold that the transitional dualistic community is the irreversible choice in a roundabout model of urbanization. The research on entire characteristic of social pattern analyzes embedded phenomena in dualistic soci al at first place. Next, this thesis has drawn a conclusion that rural community in metropolitan suburb has both static and dynamic characteristics via qualitative and quantitative analysis on residential spac e, lebensraum and productive space. The social spatial static characteristics include informality and m arginalization; meanwhile the social spatial dynamic characteristics involve tidal variations and shiftin g changes. Along with lebensraum and productive space of rural community embedding into urban sy stem, the rural entire society has presented a kind of informal organizational logic and system, which contains diverse population and multi-polarization site. This informality of rural community’s resident s also has a marginalization inclination compared to urban residents. The dynamic social spatial chara cteristics which containing tidal variations and shifting changes have manifested that rural community have sizable rural-urban commuters chronically as well as complicated and fluid social group under t he background of rural home-work separation. Under the theoretical framework of urbanism life style, the research about individual behavior spatial characteristics analyzed the community behavior space in 3 ways, which is behavior, consciousness and structure. Based on this, the thesis indicates that indiv idual behavior space has both dualistic feature and fluid feature. Therefore, urbanism just remains in t he need of earning an urban life; otherwise the native culture and habit still played a significant path d ependent function.Through the overall and individual analysis, rural spatial structure presents the social spatial characte ristics embedded into city system, namely transforming the evolution of nested structure from"family- family -- city " to the "family-Community - city ",based on the space verification of ’urban-rural continuum". Metropolitan suburban rural communities showing two properties that is overlaping localism and urbanism, interactiving territoriality and open. And obtains three implications:And obtains three implications:First, the promotion of urbanism is the core of urbanization, demanding equality of the facilities and services, function of industrial service and optimization the living environment-Secondly, the continuation of localism is important to urban and rural harmony and stablility, depending on local industry, original features and people’s states.Additionally, the community construction plays an necessary role in the development of urbanization. When we should layout residential spacereshape the public space,strengthen the construction of community self-organizing management reasonably.
