| Since the reform and opening up,China’s urbanization development level has been accelerating,the trend of population aging is irreversible,the imbalance of regional economic development has led to the phenomenon of large-scale population migration in China,with the development trend of population flow normalization,a number of special groups of "migrant elderly" have emerged.The current research shows that the social integration of the elderly in China is worrying,and after entering the new environment,they often face great challenges and difficulties,and often produce depression and anxiety.During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" and "14th Five-Year Plan" periods,the Party and the state attach great importance to the development of population aging,and clearly point out that it is necessary to actively respond to the national strategy of population aging,promote the coordinated development of the aging cause and industry,establish a diversified old-age security mechanism,and meet the growing high-quality,multi-level old-age needs of the elderly.As a sport with both social and fitness nature,square dance has gradually been discovered and has become an important form of exercise,which has great significance for the development of physical and mental health of the elderly.Therefore,in order to help the development of national fitness and active aging,and improve the social integration level and life satisfaction of the migrant elderly,this paper studies the impact of square dance participation on the social integration of the migrant elderly through questionnaire surveys and field interviews,aiming to make suggestions for improving the social integration of the migrant elderly and the further development of square dance.This paper mainly takes Oasis Community,Jinsha Community,Qiuzhufang,Jiayuan New Village,Boya Yuan and Poly Homestead in Jiading District,Shanghai as the main survey scope,takes the migrant elderly as the survey object,and uses the literature method,questionnaire survey method,interview method and mathematical statistics method to investigate and study 724 migrant elderly people,descriptively analyzes the basic situation and social integration status of the migrant elderly,and compares and analyzes the different impacts of square dance on the social integration of the migrant elderly.Through the collation and analysis of data,this paper draws the following results and conclusions:(1)In Jiading District of Shanghai,the majority of the old people are female.Most of them are aged 55-65;Education is concentrated between middle school and high school;The monthly income after retirement is mostly 2000-6000 yuan;Home towns and counties mainly;The time to move into the inflow area is basically less than 10 years;The living situation is mostly with children.(2)In terms of participating in square dance sports,most of the migrant elderly have a high frequency of participation,a moderate length of single participation,and a long period of exercise;The exercise content is mainly based on exercise and popular dance;The survey found that 84.9% of the elderly had not participated in a formal square dance competition;67.2% of households are supportive of the participation of the elderly in square dances;61% of the participants believed that square dancing could help improve their health,70.1% of the participants had significantly improved their self-identity,and their life satisfaction remained at a high level;86.1% of participants believed that square dancing could help them make new friends,and88.1% believed that square dancing could increase the relationship between neighbors and enrich their lives,thereby increasing the level of social integration.(3)The overall score of social integration was higher(3.98),and the scores of all factors were above the medium level,including customs and culture(4.02),diet and climate(4.63),interpersonal communication(4.52),participation in activities(4.11)and self-identity(3.96).Among the old people who moved with them in the square dance,there was no significant difference in social integration scores of the old people with different genders and different exercise duration,but there were significant differences in age,education level,monthly income,living condition,exercise years,competition and family support.(4)The overall score of social integration of the old people who did not participate in square dancing was low(3.13),and the scores of all factors were also at the lower than medium level.The lowest scores were in values(3.05),participation in activities(3.01),belonging(2.98),and future residence intention(2.71).Through comparison,it is found that the overall score of social integration and the score of each sub-dimension of the old people with the movement are significantly higher than that of the old people without the movement.Proper participation in square dancing every week can not only strengthen the body,but also help the old people to establish new social relations,improve the sense of belonging,and help the old people to complete the social integration with higher quality and high standards.To sum up,in terms of social integration,the scores of social integration of the old people with them who participated in square dancing were significantly higher than those who did not,which proves that square dancing is an effective way to improve people’s social integration level.Therefore,in order to further improve the social integration level of the elderly living with them and promote the further development of square dancing,this paper puts forward the following suggestions:(1)At present,the proportion of women in the crowd participating in square dancing is much higher than that of men,and the sex ratio is unbalanced.Therefore,in order to further promote square dancing in the crowd,it is necessary for various experts to create dances suitable for men with masculinity,improve men’s interest in square dancing,attract more men to join,so as to adjust the gender proportion of the crowd participating in square dancing.Let more elderly men participate in the square dance movement.(2)Relevant government departments should strengthen organization and guidance,so that more square dance enthusiasts can increase communication in the process of sports,eliminate prejudice and discrimination,attach importance to the training of social instructors,so that participants can get more scientific and effective exercise;The community should actively publicize the square dance movement,so that more elderly friends can join this movement,and regularly hold relevant events to enrich the lives of the elderly and improve the self-confidence and ability to face setbacks of elderly friends.(3)Strengthen personal support and family support.After entering the new environment,the elderly should actively change their inherent ideas,improve their own skills and communication ability,and form a positive integration consciousness.Family members should accompany the elderly more,help them adapt to the new environment,encourage them to go out of the house and establish a new social circle.(4)The overall score of social integration of the old people who did not participate in square dancing was low(3.1),and the scores of all factors were also at the lower than medium level.The lowest scores were in values(3.05),participation in activities(3.01),belonging(2.98),and future residence intention(2.71).Through comparison,it is found that the overall score of social integration and the score of each sub-dimension of the old people with the movement are significantly higher than that of the old people without the movement.Proper participation in square dancing every week can not only strengthen the body,but also help the old people to establish new social relations,improve the sense of belonging,and help the old people to complete the social integration with higher quality and high standards. |
