中国绅士化研究的本土实践:特征、议题与展望

A REVIEW OF EMPIRICAL RESEARCH ON GENTRIFICATION IN CONTEMPORARY CHINA:CHARACTERISTICS,TOPICS AND PROSPECTS

针对新世纪以来我国绅士化实证研究文献,系统回顾与整理其特征与议题,有以下发现:①我国绅士化实证研究逐渐被关注并重视,案例地区主要聚焦长三角和珠三角地区,并扩展到东北及西部重要省会城市和旅游景区等;研究机构则主要集中在南京、广州、上海、北京等主要中心城市;②研究内容涉及多类绅士化现象、绅士化与公共政策、绅士化群体与文化驱动、绅士化与多种城市现象、绅士化的公平正义与社会影响以及教育驱动的绅士化等六大议题;③在与国际接轨的同时,研究注重与中国语境和特殊制度及城市现象的结合,逐渐形成"本土化"特色,但仍存在"有广度,轻深度"的问题。随着我国学界对绅士化议题关注热度逐渐升温,期望中国绅士化研究能瞄准国际前沿与国内需求,构建属于中国语境的理论框架与话语体系。

As a phenomenon of socioeconomic spatial reconstruction,gentrification has long been studied by scholars in the Western world.However,against the background of rapid urbanization,empirical research on gentrification has taken off in China since the 2000 s.Issues of gentrification research in China have not only shown the similar with the West,but also highlighted their Chinese local characteristics.Through the review of literature on Chinese gentrification,this paper comes to three conclusions about the empirical research on gentrification in contemporary China as follow.First,the importance of empirical research on gentrification in China has been recognized in recent decades,while the case areas mainly focus on the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta region,and then expand to the northeast and western large provincial cities and tourist attractions.Meanwhile,the main research centers are almost located in Nanjing,Guangzhou,Shanghai,Beijing and other major central cities.Second,the empirical research on gentrification in China has primarily focused on six issues in terms of various forms of gentrification,gentrification and public policy,gentrifiers and cultural elements,gentrification and other urban issues,gentrification and social justice,and educationled gentrification.Finally,along with the tide of world development on gentrification,empirical research on Chinese gentrification focuses on the combination of Chinese context and increasingly forms the localized research of Chinese gentrification.However,the main problem,that putting high attention on research contents but light attention on research theory,is still apparent.
