城市“社区性”量表构建研究(英文)

Formulating of the Scale for Characteristics of Urban Communities

在当代社区研究中,"共同体"社区是否存在一直是学界争论的焦点。笔者认为,问题的关键不在于"是否存在",而在于"以哪种形式存在"。本文提出了以"社区性"这一概念来描述一个社区的"共同体"特性。在相关文献的基础上,笔者构建了一个量表来测量"社区性",以上海市社区调查的实证数据对其进行信度与效度检验;又使用该量表将上海市的社区划分为六大类,并分析了不同类型社区的特性。

Among contemporary community studies, the issue of whether or not communities exist has always been a focal point for dispute. The author believes the focal point of the issue is not ＂whether or not they exist＂, but ＂in what way do they exist＂. Based on relevant research, the author has formulated a scale to measure ＂community identity＂ and has carried out validity and reliability tests for it using data from a survey on Shanghai communities. Then the scale is used to classify Shanghai communities into six types, all of which have their own characteristics.
