Research On Taiwan’s "Endogenous" Rural Construction Based On Actor-Network Theory

Under the dual influence of rapid urbanization and urban-rural duality,China’s rural areas have lost competitiveness due to lack of endogenous motivation,showing the outflow of young labor,the hollowing out of villages,the decline of traditional industries,the poor living environment,and local culture.Multiple dilemmas such as disintegration,lack of grassroots governance,and so on,continue to decline and decline.For a long time,China’s traditional rural construction is dominated by the “superior” dominated by local governments and the “exogenous” dominated by external capital.This kind of rural construction is mainly characterized by government public finance investment and external “capital going to the countryside”.The model,although improving the living environment and economic situation in rural areas to a certain extent,lacks its endogenous ability because it ignores the internal factors of the region and develops the basic identity of the villagers to participate in rural construction and governance.The cultivation of “transfusion” subsidies is difficult to sustain,and the benefits of development are difficult to be absorbed locally.The weak rural society cannot resist the flood of ecological fragility and cultural homogenization,and it is easy to trigger rural alienation.In this context,“endogenous” development emerged as a new concept of solving rural development problems.Its connotation is based on resources,technology,industry and culture in the region,and innovation in the region is Motivation,aiming at improving the quality of life of local residents,maximizing regional economic benefits and promoting regional economic development.Starting from the perspective of "endogenous" development,it will undoubtedly provide a new research perspective for solving various problems caused by the lack of endogenous power in the countryside.In 2017,the 19 th National Congress of the CPC proposed to implement the rural revitalization strategy,pointing out that China’s current agricultural and rural modernization construction is in the critical period of great evolution and great change,facing the increasingly sharp and complex issues of “agriculture,rural areas and farmers” and challenging.The goal of rural revitalization is urgently to seek a new way of rural construction.The “Rural Regeneration Plan” promoted by Taiwan in recent years has been regarded as a model for realizing the development of rural communities with endogenous power creation as its main means.Its construction methods and development goals are in line with the existing concepts of “endogenous”.The author hopes to provide reference and enlightenment for the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy through the study of the "endogenous" rural construction practice in Taiwan.The Actor-Network Theory(ANT)is the theoretical basis and mainstream method for studying the “endogenous” development of rural areas.It is beneficial to the intricate process of rural construction by virtue of the characteristics of multiple observations by including heterogeneous actors into the network.Analyze and interpret the factors,operational mechanisms and construction methods of the endogenous dynamics in the “township construction”.Therefore,this thesis starts from the perspective of "endogenous" development,takes rural construction as the research object,and discusses the actor network theory as a research tool.The thesis is divided into six parts:The 1st part is the introduction,which briefly summarizes the reasons and background of the research,the purpose and significance of the research,related concepts and theories,research ideas,research methods and research framework design;The 2nd part is theoretical research.Taking the research perspective,object and theoretical tools as the starting point,it conducts a literature review on the origin and development of “endogenous” development,and sorts out the historical evolution process and research status of rural construction in the mainland and Taiwan.Describe the specific research methods of actor network theory and its application in rural construction;The 3rd part is the research and construction of "endogenous" rural construction based on actor network theory.It uses the actor network theory to analyze the endogenous dynamic factors and operational mechanism of "endogenous" township construction,and builds "endogenous" "The research method of township construction;The 4th part is the case study part.The Nanpu community of Hsinchu County,Taiwan,which has the typical representative meaning of “endogenous” rural construction,is designed to analyze the selected cases and use the action using the research framework and research methods proposed in the previous section.The network theory judges the "endogenous" attribute of the case,proposes that the construction of the local participation mechanism,the cohesion of the local collective consciousness and the reshaping of the local shared resources are necessary for the endogenous power cultivation in the "endogenous" rural construction.The key factors,and from the five dimensions of industrial economy,human resources,ecological environment,social culture,and organizational governance,sum up the specific endogenous dynamic operation and construction mechanism of “endogenous” township construction;The 5th part is the enlightenment of the successful experience of "endogenous" rural construction in Taiwan’s rural development to the revitalization of the mainland.Through the summary of the characteristics and experience of Taiwan’s "endogenous" rural construction,the specific analysis of the traditional rural villages The dilemma encountered in the construction mode and the similarities and differences between the two sides in the field of rural construction,combined with the concrete practice of rural revitalization in the mainland,refining many specific enlightenments;The last part is summarizing and summarizing,summarizing the main research results and suggestions of this paper,and proposing the prospect of future research.
