IMPLEMENTATION PRACTICE AND ADAPTATION OF TRADITIONAL VILLAGE PROTECTION SYSTEM FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF"SYSTEM AND LIFE":A CASE STUDY OF SUZHOU
In the context of social transformation,traditional village space is becoming increasingly detached from the needs of modern life,and the contradiction between protection and development has been transformed into the one between the protection system and villagers'daily life.Based on the framework of"system and life",this paper analyzes the implementation practice of the traditional village protection system and its effect from a micro-dynamic perspective with Suzhou serving as a case study,in an endeavor to reveal the internal logic underlying the adaptation of the protection system.The paper posits that the initial design of the protection system,characterized by an"imbalance between power and responsibility"and an"imbalance between rights and obligations",has caused many difficulties in villagers'life when the system was implemented,resulting in villagers'dissatisfaction with the system.Furthermore,the selective implementation of the system by organizations at the primary level has weakened the enforcement effect of the protection system.Based on the feedback from the protection system implementation practice,the system makers have incorporated the reasonable demands of villagers'daily life into the construction and subsequent revision of the protection system following the principle that the higher-level organization should assume more responsibilities while the primary-level villagers should enjoy more rights.This adaption not only enhances the coordination between system and life,but also improves the implementation effect of the protection system.
