城市后备箱集市从业者的群体特征及其行为机制

Study of collective characteristics and behavioral mechanisms of Car Boot Sales practitioners

后备箱集市作为特殊的夜间旅游景点,因提供城市灵活就业、有效促进消费、推动经济发展、丰富城市美好生活而受到重视,但其从业者的群体特征以及进入和退出行为机制尚不得知。本文采用质性研究的方法,对后备箱集市从业者动机和行为特征进行研究,具体发现如下:(1)从业者资金积累动机与宏观政策、原有技能与从业要求、社交需求与文化氛围匹配,是其进入后备箱集市的重要条件。(2)后备箱集市从业者的可持续经营主要与个人技能、社会关系、资金要素有关,随着要素的积累与发展,以三大要素为核心形成的人脉圈层向外扩展形成更大的行业联盟,体现了后备箱集市的集群性和规模性。(3)后备箱集市从业者的退出是三大要素在经营过程中减弱的结果,任何一种要素的增加或减少,都会影响到另外两种要素的对应增加或减少。本研究为中国旅游非正规经济发展定位、政策制定和从业者管理提供依据。

As a special night tourist attraction,Car Boot Sale is valued for effectively providing urban flexible employment,promoting consumption,boosting economic development,and enriching the good life of the city,but the collective characteristics of their practitioners as well as the mechanisms of their entry and exit behaviors are not yet known.This paper adopts a qualitative research method to study the motivation and behavioral characteristics of Car Boot Sale practitioners,and the specific findings are as follows:(1)Matching the practitioners'motivation for capital accumulation with macro policies,their original skills with the requirements of the profession,and their social needs with the cultural atmosphere are an important condition for their entry into Car Boot Sale.(2)The sustainable operation of Car Boot Sale practitioners is mainly related to the elements of personal skills,social relations and capital.With the accumulation and development of these elements,the circle of relational connections formed with the three elements as the core expands outward to form a larger trade alliance,reflecting the characteristics of clustering and its economic scale.(3)The exit of the Car Boot Sale practitioners is the consequence of the weakening of the three major elements in the operation,and the increase or decrease of one element will affect the other two elements increase or decrease accordingly.This study provides a basis for the positioning,policy formulation and practitioner management of informal tourism economy development in China.
