A STUDY ON THE HOME-MAKING PRACTICE RUN BY LOCAL VILLAGERS BASED ON CAPITAL ANALYSIS:A CASE OF XZ VILLAGE
"Home"serves as a spatial representation of the most profound sense of place.Previous research has often portrayed villagers'home from a passive standpoint,concentrating on aspects such as mobility and reconstruction.This paper,in contrast,underscores the potential of Chinese villagers to transcend conven-tional perceptions.It delves into their journey of establishing enduring connections within their communities,constructing their living space of home,and materializing local values through deliberate home-making prac-tices.Based on the case of XZ Village,this study discovers villagers'perceptions of home,their ability in home-making,and their"traditional-modern"practices,all underpinned from the analysis perspective of eco-nomic and social capital.We find that:1)The core essence of home emotion rests within the foundational consensus of local villagers.The traditional concept of home signifies the preservation of communication patterns and spatial arrangements within the clan-based society.2)Local villagers are endowed with social capital encompassing relationships and trust,alongside economic capital comprising collective property rights and money.3)The intricate interplay between traditional and modern home sentiments propels villag-ers to navigate the external dynamics and effect internal capital inter-transformation,which culminates in the creation of their distinctive home space.
