村庄规划为何失去创造性——Y村规划知识生产的权力关系分析

WHY HAS VILLAGE PLANNING LOST ITS CREATIVITY:ANALYSIS OF POWER RELATIONS IN THE KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION OF Y VILLAGE PLANNING PROCESS

村庄规划是推进乡村发展、乡村建设和乡村治理的基础性工作,亟待走出低质量困境。现有研究表明,村庄规划是多种主体共同参与的知识生产,但未能直接揭示这种知识生产为何难以达到高质量。本文借用福柯的权力关系理论分析Y村规划过程,发现权力关系对知识生产的创造性具有抑制作用:一方面,多种知识主体之间的权力关系限制多种知识进入,使得知识生产原料残缺低质;另一方面,知识分类隐含的权力关系阻碍规划师产生创造新知识的动力。借助这一发现,本文建议在理论研究层面可以进一步探究规划过程中的知识生产样态,以加深对村庄规划性质的理解,实践层面则可以从平衡权力关系入手优化规划流程,并增强规划师对权力关系抑制作用的敏感性。

Village planning is the basic work to promote rural development,rural construction,and rural governance,which is urgent to get out of the predicament of low quality.Existing studies show that village planning is a knowledge production process involving multiple subjects,but they fail to directly reveal why it is difficult for the knowledge production to achieve high quality.This paper analyzes the planning process of Y Village by means of Foucault's power relations theory,and finds that power relations inhibit the creativity of knowledge production.On the one hand,the power relations among various knowledge subjects restrict the entry of various kinds of knowledge,resulting in the deficiency and low quality of raw materials in knowledge production.On the other hand,the power relationship implied by knowledge classification hinders planners'motivation to create new knowledge.Based on this finding,this paper proposes that we should further understand the nature of village planning by exploring the patterns of knowledge production in planning,and also suggests that in practice,we can optimize the planning process by balancing power relations and enhance planners'sensitivity to the inhibiting effect of power relations.
