城中村改造与社区资产建设的“地方维度”

Reconstruction of the “Urban Villages” and the “Local Dimension” of Community Asset-building

本文关注中国城镇化背景下城中村实现自内而外社区发展的可能性,通过运用口述史方法分析一个城中村自然村落旧村改造过程的案例,来探索城中村自然村落资产建设的动力机制,为社会工作参与城中村社区建设行动提供启示。笔者发现：城中村自然村落本身拥有自内而外实现发展的能力,但是这种意愿与能力的实现受城中村社区建设行动者理论取向影响严重。只有更多的社区工作者能够关注城中村社区的“光明一面”与内在动力,重视城中村的“地方维度”,城中村社区的“家园资产”才可能被激发与活化,从而以最小的外部资源投入带来社区最大化的更新与发展。因此,社工参与城中村社区建设必须重视将社区干预行动建立在“地方维度”的基础上,促进社区内外多元关系网络的连接与融合,通过构建一个团结凝聚的社区来促进社区内生性发展动力的持续。

This article discusses the community development of "urban villages"in the context of urbanization in contemporary China,specifically regarding the possibility of development-from-inside-out. This study uses oral history as its methodology to investigate the reconstruction processes of a natural village in an "urban village"community,trying to identify the dynamics and mechanisms of its asset building. It aims to provide insights to social workers to take more effective actions in the field of"urban village"community development. The study shows that natural villages in"urban village"communities do have the will and strength to generate local development internally. However,the will and strength are largely shaped by the theoretical orientations of the community actors. The"homeland asset"of the community could be revived and mobilized only when actors pays attention to the "bright side"and inner power of the community and emphasizes its "local dimensions. "In this way,maximized regeneration and development could be brought about with minimized input of external resources. Therefore,social workers who participating community development of "urban villages"should develop their community actions on the basis of "local dimention",and promote the multi relationships in or out of the community to be connected and intergrated. Only when we construct a solidary community,the internal dynamic of community development could be maintained.
