Expansion And Change: Study On The Change Of Rural Residential Space In The South Of Henan Province

In the wave of urbanization and modernization,the living space in rural areas has undergone visible changes.The perspective of space sociology provides a new research path for social research from the perspective of space.From the perspective of space sociology and rural sociology,with the help of the theoretical basis of space production and new rural construction,and with the change of living space as the breakthrough point,this paper analyzes the change of rural society.In this paper,Lingshan Town,Xinyang City,Henan Province is selected as a case study to collect relevant information on the change of living space in Lingshan Town through participation observation,unstructured interview and literature method.Through research and analysis,this paper mainly finds the following three aspects: first,the physical form of rural residential space has changed.These changes are mainly reflected in the residential pattern from scattered villages to concentrated towns,the housing structure from simple symmetry to complex structure,the opening degree of residential space to the outside world has decreased,and the housing appearance has developed from differentiation to homogenization.Second,the dynamic factors that cause the change of rural residential space mainly include politics,economy and society,which correspond to the government,real estate developers and villagers respectively.Specifically,in order to pursue more abundant material resources and symbols of social identity,villagers actively move to the streets and towns and choose modern houses under the influence of the herd mentality of other people’s housing relocation;The government has different housing planning for villages and towns,especially the re planning and expansion of the town space,which is the guiding force for the change of residential space;The real estate developers have produced the unit houses with superior location and affordable price,and constructed the new living space imagination that highlights the identity symbol and convenient supporting,which meets the material and spiritual needs of some villagers,thus becoming a new choice for many villagers to buy houses.Third,the change of living space further causes the change of rural social relations,which is mainly reflected in the following four aspects: the reorganization of living space destroys the original neighborhood relationship,and the new form of living space is not conducive to the establishment of new neighborhood relationship;With the traditional house becoming the past,the traditional culture,such as ancestral memory culture and folk belief culture,which depend on the house,is gradually declining,and the binding force of the traditional family ethical order on people is weakening;With the housing moving from village to town,the relationship between human and natural environment is gradually alienated;From self construction to land purchase and commercial housing purchase,the main body behind the house has changed,which shows that from individual villagers to the villagers and the government,villagers,real estate developers and the government,in the process of the replacement of the main body of space,there are conflicts such as the restriction of space planning,the imperfection of community infrastructure,and the ambiguity of housing property rights,resulting in a kind of contradictory relationship.Under the macro policy background of Rural Revitalization and new urbanization strategy,this paper,from the perspective of social space,proposes to respond to the above problems from the following aspects,in order to improve the living conditions in rural areas and the living experience of rural villagers: first,develop the villagers’ social organizations,take the social organizations as the link,and enhance the communication among the people in the streets,towns and villages,To a certain extent,the new neighborhood relationship among villagers should be reconstructed to ease the strangeness and alienation caused by the spatial reorganization;The second is to build a memorial hall of traditional dwellings,widely collect the image data of traditional dwellings,and form a written record of the architectural design,lifestyle,customs and culture of traditional dwellings from the perspective of architecture,sociology,anthropology and other disciplines,so as to preserve the history and culture of rural dwellings in Southern Henan;Third,coordinate the spatial planning of towns and villages,increase the construction of green ecological space,and improve the construction of community infrastructure;Fourth,standardize the process of housing construction,implement the work of villagers’ real estate certificate,resolutely put an end to illegal construction,and protect the legitimate interests of villagers.
