历史文脉视野下藏区传统村落保护与发展初探——基于尼巴村实践

该文选取中国传统村落——甘肃藏区尼巴村为研究对象,因其独特的地域环境、交通区位条件和人文特色,相比洮河流域的其他藏区本身受到外来文化的侵蚀较弱。但随着社会发展、人民生活水平的提高和"城镇化"的不断推进,保护与发展意识薄弱,尼巴村曾引以为豪的特色民居、传统街巷、生活生产方式正在逐渐被外界文化侵蚀,失去了其本身的韵味。借用人文地理和历史学的方法,重新界定历史文脉的内涵,即自然、社会、人文、技术,强调传统村落保护的历史文化价值和现实意义,通过分析空间环境与历史人文在尼巴村传统村落保护与发展中的关系,从生态环境、用地功能结构、传统形态、历史风貌等提出相关的保护策略,探讨对甘肃藏区传统村落保护与发展研究。

A Note on the Current Status of Arin, a Yoruba Traditional Game Played with the Seeds of Dioclea Reflexa

One of the traditional games played among the Yoruba people of South Western Nigeria utilizes the seeds ofDioclea reflexa. An investigation into the current status of the game was conducted to determine the extent to which it is still played. Although results indicate that the game is still being played in the rural areas, it also shows that it is steeply decreasing in popularity. About 6.6% of respondents interviewed have never heard of the game, while about 77% have played, or still play the game. Overall 17% of all respondents, or 22% of those who have ever played, still play the game. About 26% of respondents are optimistic about the game surviving their generation. The decline in popularity is attributable to decreasing proportion of youths in rural areas due to rural-urban migration, emergence of computer games, and scarcity of the seeds. Cultivation of D. reflexa plant for the game, food and medicinal purposes is recommended.
