宗教信仰行为对农村社区发展的影响研究——基于江苏省D市的实证分析

On the Impact of Religious Behaviors on Rural Communities Development: Taking D City in Jiangsu Province as an Example

工业化、城市化与劳动力流动不仅造成中国部分农村社区人口结构上的"空心化",也导致一些农村社区发展处于停滞,农村社区"失范"现象非常普遍。如何提高村民对社区的认同感、归属感和信任度成为当前农村社区发展中的核心问题。文章利用2012年江苏省D市微观调研数据,实证分析宗教密集的农村地区居民是否信仰宗教及其信仰程度对农村居民参与农村社区发展的影响。研究结果显示信仰宗教的农村居民比普通村民参与农村社区建设的积极性更高,且信仰程度较高的农村居民比信仰程度一般的村民更加乐于参与农村社区建设。本文的研究为在我国一些宗教密集的农村地区推进农村社区重建以及我国宗教事物的管理提供了新的思路。

The industrialization,urbanization and labor mobility not only led to the population hollowing in some rural communities in China,but also caused the stagnation of rural community development and the commonly seen ‘out-of-control'phenomenon in rural community. How to improve the senses of identity,belonging and trust of local villagers is becoming the key issue in the development of rural communities. Taking Dongtai City,Jiangsu Province as an example,this paper analyzed the impact of religious belief and the degree of the impact on the rural residents' participation in the rural community development in the rural areas with high believer-density. The result showed that enthusiasm of rural residents who had faiths in the rural community construction was higher than that of ordinary residents. The higher the degree of their faiths,the higher the probability of their taking part in rural community construction. This paper may provide a new train of thought for some rural areas where religion prevails in our country to promote rural community reconstruction as well as religious affairs management.
