Construction of Policy-Based Immigrant Living Space from the Perspective of Spatial Practice:A Survey Based on Xilingol League,Inner Mongolia
Using the"state-society"analytical framework and focusing on relocation for poverty alleviation and subsequent support,this study examines the internal mechanisms and institutional logic underlying the construction of boundaries for policy-based immigrant living spaces from the perspective of spatial practice.The construction of immigrant living spaces follows a two-way practice path involving"government-immigrant"interactions,where space is experienced through practices of construc-tion and reflexivity.Both parties adjust their strategies in the process,shaping the structural characteristics of immigrant spaces.Within China's existing institutional framework,the state holds absolute discourse power,dominance,and control over the con-struction of immigrant living spaces.Through spatial integration,domination,and adjustment,the state not only determines immi-grants'strategic choices regarding their living spaces but also provides necessary guidance for the routine elements of their dai-ly lives.Although immigrants,as practitioners,occupy a relatively disadvantaged position,they engage in practical behaviors in-formed by collective memory,identity recognition,and habitual practices.Guided by structural patterns of past activities,immi-grants contribute from the bottom up to shaping the boundaries of their living spaces.By situating research on poverty allevia-tion relocation projects within specific social contexts,this study provides deeper insights into the construction of immigrant liv-ing spaces.
