城市邻里经济地位变化与社区层级化

Changes in the Economic Status of Urban Neighborhoods and Community Hierarchy

社区空间秩序重构,是我国城市转型发展过程中的一个重要课题。以大连市四个社区为观察样本,探讨了城市邻里经济地位变化对城市等级化的影响,并对社区分层给出了基本的判定依据。研究发现,我国城市邻里经济地位是动态变化的,这种变化主要源于家庭相对收入的变化。邻里经济地位的变化带来社区邻里结构的差异性,进而带来了社区等级化的趋势,而社区分层不会降低当地居民的效用水平。本文的研究结果意味着,我国城市社区空间政策面临着一场变革,传统的居住空间模式可能面临着阶层整合。因此,在城市社区空间政策设计上,需要正视社区分层这一现实及其所引起的后果,为城市社区层级化的演进找到切实可行的行动路径。

The reconstruction of community spatial order is an important subject in the process of urban transformation and development in China. Based on the observation of the four sample communities in Dalian,this paper discusses the impact of the changes in the economic status of the urban neighborhood on the urban hierarchy, and gives the basic criteria for community stratification. The study found that the economic status of China’s urban neighborhoods is dynamic, mainly as a result of changes in relative household income. Such change brings about the differences in the structure of the neighborhood, which in turn brings about the trend of community hierarchy,and the community stratification does not reduce the utility level of the local residents.The findings of this paper mean that China’s urban community space policy is facing a change and that the traditional living space model may face class integration. Therefore, in terms of policy design, it is necessary to face up to the reality of community stratification and its consequences, and find a feasible path of action for the evolution of urban community stratification.
