Survival:the Formation And Evolution Of An Atypical Urban Space

Since the reform and opening up,with the implementation of the Household Contract Responsibility System,a large number of rural people have been liberated from the farmland,and this surplus population has quickly poured into cities to work and do business.With the development of the socialist market economy and the improvement of transportation conditions,the state has gradually lifted restrictions on the status of floating population.The population mobility has begun to show a high degree of marketization and autonomy,and the mobility areas have become more and more diverse.At the same time,the short-term and flexible employment methods have led to a large number of “unemployed” floating populations in cities.The reasons for this group include information dissymmetry of labor supply and demand,the growth of the new generation of migrant workers,changes in employment concepts,and economic structural transformation.Due to the uncertainty of occupation and income,these people usually rent in “villages” with poor environments in and at the edge of cities,forming a unique landscape — the “upside down” of foreign population and local population is ubiquitous.The study of the urban space formation process of these floating populations and the daily life of this group in the space may have important academic significance to trace the process of urbanization in China.At the same time,as one of the special urbanization phenomena,these spatial forms of “variation from person to person” need explaining its production logic with an effective theoretical perspective and empirical research.At present,the gathering space of the largest domestic unemployed population is Sanhe Market in Shenzhen.Sanhe Market is located in a large urban village in Longhua District,Shenzhen.Due to the existence of several large labor agency companies,there are a large number of floating populations living in this urban village,and these unemployed among them are called ‘Sanhedashen'.Deemed a new social group by the media,these ‘Sanhedashen' are usually reluctant to work long and intensively in factories and thus live in the Sanhe market with uncertain accommodation and meals.This study takes the Shenzhen Sanhe Market as a case,Using the theories of space change and space production,to conduct a corresponding study on this atypical urban space formation and subsequent spacel production process,including:(1)The process of the formation and change of Sanhe market space.This process is accompanied by changes in China's macroeconomic and floating population policies,and then the situation of this urban space is described.(2)Secondly,it draws on the theory of space production to analyze the factors influencing the space production in Sanhe Market,and points out the mutual construction relationship between space and daily life.(3)This article also focuses on the daily life and space production practice of the special living group in Sanhe Market,namely Sanhedashen.Finally,this article also discusses the governance issues of Sanhe Market.Through the study of this paper,it is believed that the space formation and change process of Sanhe Market is closely related to China's floating population policy.The formation of this urban village is also a partial epitome of Shenzhen's urbanization.In the process of urban space production in Sanhe Market,the government,capital,and different groups living here has different roles in daily space production.The guiding role of the government in the space renewal is obvious.As an important force for the transformation of the urban villages,capital has an important impact on the change of the living space in the Sanhe Market.The floating population and local residents who live here have space production in daily life.In this process,space and daily life influence each other to form mutual structure.In space production process,the interests of different participants are different.Therefore,government also needs to cooperate with each other to explore the governance model,especially to protect the rights and interests of the floating population and ensure that every resident has the right to enter the city for space production.
