住房空间分化与社会不平等:一个解释框架

Housing Spatial Differentiation and Social Inequality:An Explanatory Framework

无论是计划体制下的住房福利分配时期,还是市场体制下的住房商品化时期,住房空间分化引起的社会不平等现象总是一个客观存在。基此,从国家干预、权力支配、市场能力与文化认同四种视角梳理了学术界关于住房空间分化与社会不平等的关系的讨论,提出了一个结合以上四种视角的机会—流动论的解释框架,为研究当下中国城市愈演愈烈的住房空间分化与社会不平等现象提供一个比较分析的视角。其中,国家干预是首要因素,国家不断通过制定相应的社会政策,担当起合理干预由于住房空间分化而引起的社会不平等甚至社会冲突问题的重要责任。因为,住房不仅是一个社会的公民住有其所的日常问题,更是一个影响社会的公正或正义的重要问题。

The social inequality caused by housing spatial differentiation always exists no matter when it is the housing distribution in the planning system period,or the commercialization of housing in market system.This paper reviewed the literature on housing space differentiation and social inequality from four perspectives：state intervention,power control,market power and cultural identity,and proposed an explanatory framework of an opportunity-circulate theory and a viable analytical perspective.State Intervention is the primary factor because the state takes an important responsibility of social inequalities and social conflict through policy-making.It is obvious that housing is not only a problem of daily living,but also an important issue which affects the justice of a society.
