With the continuous expansion of the immigrant population in China,the issue of livelihood of migrants has become a hot issue for society and scholars.Scholars of different disciplines have different perspectives on the livelihoods of immigrants,and domestic academic circles have not yet formed a mature theoretical framework.According to the degree of government participation,immigrants can be divided into policy and spontaneous immigration.Compared with policy immigration,the government and society pay less attention to spontaneous immigration.Taking Shaanxi Province as an example,Shaanxi Province began a large-scale resettlement project for poverty alleviation in 1998.In 2010,it initiated the relocation project of southern Shaanxi and plans to relocate 2.4 million people from 2011 to 2020.Therefore,the mountainous region in southern Shaanxi has always been Shaanxi.Provincial relocation of the main battlefield.At the same time as the relocation of immigrants in southern Shaanxi,a special group of immigrants was born--spontaneous immigrants.These spontaneous immigrants did not enjoy government financial subsidies and support.In order to improve their living environment and development space,they chose the Guanzhong area of Shaanxi Province as their place of entry.The way of migration was mainly to “respect friends and relatives” or to achieve “hukou transactions” with the relocatees.After several years of living,whether the livelihood condition has improved with the relocation of the immigrants.The author believes that the study of the livelihood of spontaneous migration in southern Shaanxi has important theoretical and practical significance.This paper selects the spontaneous migration in southern Shaanxi as the research object,draws on the western space production theory,applies the livelihood spatial analysis framework,collects data through questionnaires,interviews,and literature methods,and measures and analyzes the livelihood space of the immigrants,and discusses the livelihood of the immigrants.The interrelationship between livelihood actions and space in the process.The study finds that the immigrants chose to relocate to improve their living environment.At the same time,the immigration's living style and social environment will also change.These changes will inevitably have a greater impact on the livelihood of immigrants.The geographical space for immigration is the basis for the livelihood space of the migrants,and the area and living environment for the livelihood of the migrants are determined.The optimization of economic space has increased the income of immigrants in the place of migration,but the relocation of immigrants often leads to immigrants facing the situation of land reduction or land loss.The loss of livelihood assets forces immigrants to change their livelihood strategies when they move into the area.In the process of relocation,immigrants experienced the break of social space.Most of the immigrants lost the ability to obtain livelihood resources.Due to the separation of geographical space and social interaction,the immigrant economic space was difficult to expand and gradually formed a “socio-economic” spatial segmentation.The institutional space is specifically embodied in immigration policy and the community management system in the place of resettlement.The centralized immigration policy is to regulate immigration through space.The space is full of power and will inevitably cause immigration resistance.The exclusion of immigrants from the communities that have moved in has caused the immigrants to be constantly marginalized.Under the exclusion of the system,immigrants have lost the protection of livelihood activities.Cultural space refers to the cultural adaptation and social integration of immigrants in the place of immigrants.Immigrants often experience cultural gaps in the process of adaptation to cultural life.In a short period of time,they cannot fully adapt to new cultural habits and concepts and need to undergo a long-term process..Identity is the hallmark of the complete completion of immigration operations.Most generations of immigrants find it difficult to get rid of their immigration status and are often treated as stigma.This seriously affects the social integration of immigrants,which results in the lack of livelihood confidence and motivation for the immigrants in their place of entry.The space is in a defect state for a long time.Immigration and relocation is inevitable in the process of modernization and urbanization in China,and immigrants face many problems in the face of new markets and social environments.Therefore,to completely solve the livelihood issues of immigrants,we must establish a comprehensive,systematic,and coordinated system for immigrants.Build a healthy sustainable livelihood space...
