城市新移民的传播形态与社区归属感——以武汉市为例的经验研究

Communication Patterns of Urban New Migrants and Their Community Attachment——The Case of Wuhan City

随着我国城市化进程的加速,"新移民"逐渐成为城市社会引人瞩目的人口群体。本文以经验方法研究城市新移民的传播形态及其对该群体社区归属感认知的影响。对460位武汉市城区受访者的调查数据显示,城市新移民群体并非一个整体,底层移民的社区归属感显著低于白领移民和本地居民,白领移民则居于另两者之间。在传播形态层面,白领移民和本地居民具有高度相似性,而底层移民和另两个群体皆存在着显著差异。所处传播行为环境更好、对媒体上所移居城市相关内容更为关注的移民拥有更高的社区归属感。依循"人—传播—社会"关系的视角,本研究的结论为政府决策部门和社会/社区工作者的社区实践,以及为新移民寻找失落的"家乡感"提供了一种有益的探索、反思与实践路径。

As Chinese urbanization become more and more deeply,new migrants have higher and higher percentage in city population.Adopting an empirical approach,the present article studies urban new migrants' communication patterns and its potential impact on their community attachment perception.Data from 460 respondents from Wuhan city discovers that bottom migrants' community attachment is significantly lower than that of white-collar migrants and native dwellers.However,the latter two populations have no significant differences,even though white-collar migrants have lower community attachment perception.As to communication patterns,white-collar migrants is very similar with native dwellers in terms of almost all communicational variables,but bottom migrants is not-significant differences exist when compared with the other two groups.Migrants who have higher evaluations on community communicational environment,and pay more attention upon information related with the city they live,have higher community attachment perception.Following the perspective of people-communication-society,our results offer helpful methods and strategies for governmental policy -making sectors and community workers to conduct community practices,and for people to seek for the long lost sense of home.
