乡村社会空间福利的再造——基于鄂中H村老年人协会的考察

Reconstruction of Rural Spatial Welfare—— A Study Based on H Village' s Old People Association in the Middle Area of Hubei

本文是对既有研究传统中功能视角的延续,基于对鄂中地区H村老年人协会的考察,立足于村庄,结合当地老年人群体的生活处境,来分析老年人协会对老年人社会性福利的增进。本文认为,老年人协会对老年人社会性福利的增进主要体现在空间福利上。伴随市场经济的发展,在村落中的公共空间趋向解体以及既存公共空间的性质发生变化的情形下,老年人处于一种空间性的边缘位置。老年人协会则是一种以组织化的方式,将老年人聚集在一个固定的空间之内,为老年人提供了一种空间上的保护机制,从而促进了老年人主体感和价值感的提升。老年人协会的文化建设等功能作为空间福利的溢出效应,丰富和充实着老年人协会的意义和功能。

Because of the limitations of the study site and vision,the existing literature is lack of discussion on social welfare of old people association for old people.This paper is a continuation of traditional research on the functional perspective. Based on the investigation of H village's old people association in the middle area of Hubei and combined with the old people's life situation., this study tries to analyse the social benefits of the association for the elderly. The result shows that the old people association to promote social welfare of the elderly is mainly reflected in the spatial welfare.With the market economy developing,the village public space disintegrating and properties of existing public space changing,the old people are at the margins of the space. The old people association provides a protective mechanism on space for the old people by gathered them within a fixed space in an organized way, and thus promote their sense of subjectivity and value. As the spillover of its spatial welfare, the function of cultural construction is riching and fulfilling the meaning and function of the old people association.
