Evolution characteristics of social networks and their spatial association mechanisms of traditional settlement
Aiming at the hollowing out and commercialization of traditional settlements,this paper constructs the social network of the typical traditional settlements to reveal the evolution characteristics of social networks from 1978 to 2018,and explores the social operation logic and spatial correlation mechanism.The results of evolutionary characteristics of social networks show that:1)the kinship of hollowed out traditional settlements is from large family to generational and empty-nest family structure,the geographical relationship changes from single-family to neighborhood and hometown structure,and the collapse of the kinship-geographical structure of hollowing out traditional settlements accelerates the decay of space to a certain extent.2)The kinship of commercial traditional settlements is changed from large family to nuclear family and mixed family,business relationship from peer,cooperation to competition structure,and then to the scattered pattern of stranger society.Finally,through comparison of hollowing out and commercialization of traditional settlements,this paper attempts to find an entry point for the protection of the interaction between the material space and social structure of traditional settlements.The spatial-social structure of hollowed-out and commercialized of traditional settlements from 1978 to 2018 acts as follows:1)the spatial-social structure of hollowed-out traditional settlements is reflected in the synchronization of the evolution of the social structure with the spatial decay.The disintegration of the kinship-geopolitical structure of hollowed-out traditional settlements cuts down the social and economic activities of the residents and accelerates the spatial decay to a certain extent,and the spatial decay of traditional settlements also contributes to the disintegration of the kinship-geopolitical structure to a certain extent.2)The spatial-social structure of commercialized traditional settlements shows the trend of diversified evolution,and the evolution of the social structure of traditional settlements has a greater impact on their socio-economic activities and spatial needs.The connotation of the commercialization trend of traditional settlements is reflected in the separation and disintegration of the kinship structure of traditional settlements,the formation and diversification of the industrial structure,and the expansion of space and the evolution of the functional pattern.In the process of disintegration of the kinship structure and compounding of the industrial structure of the commercialized traditional settlements,the social and economic activities of the main actors of the traditional settlements change,leading to corresponding changes in the spatial needs of the traditional settlements,and thus contributing to the formation and expansion of a new social structure.The comparative analysis of the evolution of social structure and spatial evolution of hollowed-out and commercialized traditional settlements shows that:1)the spatial decay of hollowed-out traditional settlements stems,on the one hand,from the trend of population mobility caused by the remoteness of the traditional settlements'own location,lack of resources,and insufficient facilities,which have left the traditional settlements unattended.On the other hand,the decline of the traditional functions of traditional settlements and the breakdown of their location advantages in the context of urbanization,and the further increase of the urban-rural gap have prompted the residents of traditional settlements to move out,thus resulting in the evolutionary trend of land scale reduction,spatial environment decay,and the withering of industries.In the process of spatial decay of traditional settlements caused by population mobility,the disintegration and separation of kinship geo-structures will be further aggravated.The evolution of the social structure of hollowed-out traditional settlements is accompanied by changes in population size and their social behaviors and activities under the trend of population mobility.2)At the beginning of the formation of commercialized traditional settlements,dominated by the traditional kinship structure,the main body of the residents at this time is dominated by family production and living activities,and the construction and formation of the traditional courtyard and triple courtyard space,to maintain the residential function of the traditional settlements.With the deepening of economic reform and the continuous improvement of labor efficiency,the scale and function of traditional settlements have changed dramatically under the impact of economic development and consumerism.In this process,the commercialized traditional settlement breaks through the original relatively traditional and closed form of social organization and social and economic activities,and shifts to commercial and economic activities,supplemented by family activities,and gradually expands from the traditional dominant bloodline structure to a new social structure form mixed with bloodline and industrial structure,and the corresponding spatial demand has also shifted from traditional courtyard space to commercial activity space.Specifically,as the original kinship structure of traditional settlements is gradually replaced by a new type of business structure in the process of commercialization,the kinship structure of traditional settlements is separated and the business structure dominates.Corresponding to the evolution of the social structure of traditional settlements,the logic of socio-economic development of traditional settlements in the process of commercialization also changed accordingly,and the socio-economic activities carried out by households shifted from family-dominated production activities to commercial activities.The space for operating and maintaining these commercial activities also needs to meet the commercialization profit demand of traditional settlements,therefore,the traditional family activity space of traditional settlements has been replaced or occupied,and the traditional land use,spatial pattern,and industrial form of traditional settlements have shown the evolution trend of scale expansion,compact grouping,and functional composite.Such spatial evolution trend further promotes commercial economic activities and the formation of new social structure.
