| Since the 21 st century,China has experienced the rapid development from urbanization to new-type urbanization.Behind the beautiful answer in the number,the construction of small towns and the challenges it faces can not be ignored.The rapid development of urbanization has made it difficult for the development of small towns to keep up with the pace of urbanization.Problems such as the decline in quality of towns,the decline of historical areas,the weakness of industrial development,and the loss of population have gradually emerged,resulting in the lack of distinct regional characteristics and the lack of group identity in the historical areas of small towns.As a social construction,collective memory can improve the cohesion of the group,encourage individuals to share the honor and disgrace with the group emotionally,and establish group identity and regional identity.The rich and profound collective memory can bring similar cognition to the groups,thus arousing group identity and regional identity.The historical areas of the small towns has survived the changes in the past dynasties.It has witnessed the changes of dynasties and administrative divisions in this place,and has accumulated and retained countless collective memories.Taking the country’s new-type urbanization as an opportunity,this paper takes the historical areas of small towns as the research object,and explores how to shape the regional characteristics of historical areas from the perspective of collective memory,arouse the group identity of residents,and create a historical areas suitable for living,business,maintenance and tourism.The research believes that the memory content of multiple subjects in historical areas can be collected through data collection,interviews,questionnaire surveys,etc.,and then selected and extracted according to the selection principle of collective memory.The research believes that the three elements of collective memory,namely“recognizable” 、 “readable”and“adaptable”can be extracted to give connotations to historical areas in small towns,Thus,the design strategy of organizing the spatial order,controlling the landscape style and promoting the functional combination is put forward to achieve the purpose of strengthening the main clues of the memory of the location,creating the image of the location and activating the behavior memory of the location.Through the processing and transformation of memory elements,the concretized expression of memory and the memorization of historical locations are finally realized,so that collective memories can be inherited and continued in historical locations,and the regional culture and group identity of historical locations can be strengthened,thereby driving small towns.development of.Finally,taking the design of the historical area of Guying Town as an example,the "history-present situation-development plan" of the historical area of Guying Town is analyzed.Through the excavation,selection and extraction of collective memory resources,the collective memory perspective of Guying Town is proposed.Basic ideas and strategies for the design of historical locations. |
