Research on Dynamic Protection Governance Mode of Traditional Villages from the Perspective of Self-organization Theory
Most studies on the dynamic protection of traditional villages emphasize matching between village planning and regional context under government intervention,as well as coordination between architecture and site,life and industrial development.However,it lacks essential attention to daily activities,spatial reconstruction behaviors,and mechanisms that villagers have formed over an extended period.Against the background of traditional villages'increasing deterioration,how to review the top-down intervention of government sectors and bottom-up participation issues of villagers are the highly concerned keys and challenges during dynamic protection and utilization of traditional villages.As the basic component of system science,the self-organization theory covers the two foundational concepts of"self-organization"and"other-organization".Research concerning self-organization has attracted wide attention from Chinese scholars in recent years.However,there's still insufficient attention to self-organization during the protective development of the vast countryside,especially traditional villages.This study seeks to integrate the theoretical perspective of self-organization into the context of other-organization systems of government sectors.The characteristics of villagers'independent participation and the problems and challenges of daily spatial protective development were reviewed.Since the other-organization system of government sectors cannot fully meet the needs of the protective utilization of traditional villages,the"black and white"mode increases the difficulties of villages'daily space use.This might cause insufficient vitality in traditional villages and bring difficulties in sustainable development.This study proposes the governance mechanism and self-organization strategies for the dynamic protection of traditional villages and reflects on the innovative thinking for traditional village governance,aiming to disclose the internal correlations among space forms,organization mode,and behavioral activities.Results can provide innovative ideas and technical paths to dynamic protection and updating traditional villages.First,it should strengthen the effective combination and balance between government planning and control and daily life practices of villages,and adhere to technical pathways of"point acupuncture and resource sharing,""linear connection and interface control,"and"non-point activation and spatial production",aiming to realize sustainable development,activation,and updating of traditional villages.Second,it should improve supplementation and support for villagers'daily life practices to government intervention and strengthen"information linkage,supply-demand balance,""situational integration,flexible penetration,"and"dynamic evolution,cultural substitution."Finally,it should make full use of the behaviors of the mediating architects,facilitate the connection and organic integration between"theory"in the other-organization system and"emotion"in the self-organization system,forming the new dynamic protection modes with the coexistence of"top-down"other-organization system and"bottom-up"self-organization system.Specifically,government sectors control the overall spatial layout for the dynamic protection of traditional villages based on relevant policy orientation,while villagers can supplement and correct the schemes.Such cooperation can provide innovative ideas and technical paths for the sustainable development and revitalization of traditional villages with up-and-down linkage and integration of feelings and rationality.
