城市的垂直流动:广州再领域化中的人地关系重构

Vertical Mobility of City:Reconstruction of Human-Environment System in Guangzhou’s Reterritorialization

流动性重塑了人地关系,地的再领域化过程可以视为一种跨阶层的垂直流动。20世纪80年代起,中国开始了撤县设区的行政区划调整,重塑了原有的城市行政结构体系。撤县设区是典型的城市的垂直流动过程。在这过程中,县城本地居民的身份政治,以及他们与县城、新城之间的关系亦随之改变。以广州为例,通过研究撤县设区中本地居民与领域空间的关系重构,进而探讨流动性背景下的人地关系变化。研究发现:对于本地居民而言,其身份政治在再领域化的过程中,从旧领域的多数群体转变为新领域的少数群体。这种转变导致本地居民排他策略的形成,并由此形成了新领域中的一个抵抗空间,重构了本地居民、旧领域和新领域之间的人地关系。研究城市的再领域化过程是对地理学探讨流动性的有效补充,有利于从地的视角更深入理解流动性的影响及意义。

Since the end of the 20th century,mobility has become a key issue in Geography,which reshapes the relationship between human and environment.However,the study of mobility ignores the place itself:the enclave can be regarded as the‘horizontal mobility’of the suzerain,and the process of cities’reterritorialization can be regarded as‘vertical mobility’.Since the 1980s,China begun to adjust administrative divisions by a county-to-district reform,which reshaping the original urban administrative structure.County-to-district reform is a typical vertical mobility of city.In that reform,the identity politics of local residents has altered a whole heap,and their relationship between county and new city has also changed.This article takes Guangzhou as a study case to learn the relationship between local residents and territory in the county-to-district reform,and then explores the alterations in human-environment system within the mobility theory.The study found that local residents’identity politics has changed from a majority community in the original territory to a minority community in the new territory.In addition,this alteration has led to a formation of an exclusionary strategy for local residents and a residential space of resistance in the new territory,which reconstructed the relationship among local residents,original territory and new territory.The research on the process of cities’reterritorialization is a supplement to the exploration of mobility in geography,which is conducive to a deeper understanding of the impact and significance of mobility from a geographical perspective.
