Emotional governance and the integration of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area:A case study of the Entrepreneurship Base for Hong Kong and Macao Youths in Guangzhou
Constructing the Entrepreneurship Base for Hong Kong and Macao Youths is an im-portant measure to support Hong Kong and Macao's integration into the overall development of the country and to promote the social integration of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area(GBA).Taking the Entrepreneurship Base for Hong Kong and Macao Youths as re-search objects,this study employed semi-structured interviews,field trips and online content analysis and based on the theory of emotional geography to explore the construction process of emotional space in the Entrepreneurship Base for Hong Kong and Macao Youths,and the mecha-nism of its influence on the governance of GBA.The study found that different actors encoun-tered in the development process of the Entrepreneurship Base for Hong Kong and Macao Youths.Through the design of the material landscape of the hub and the interaction between the different actors,the hub was constructed as a positive emotional space.Then,entrepreneurs'dai-ly life mobility and practices on the mainland enabled them to overcome the spatial constraints of the hubs,permitted them to integrate into the broad urban society.Entrepreneurs'identity of city-as-home and their sense of belonging to the Mainland China were gradually fostered through re-mapping of the emotional boundary of their living place.The positive emotional ex-perience of Hong Kong and Macao entrepreneurs on the mainland,on the one hand,enhanced their enthusiasm for social participation,and on the other hand,it was passed on to Hong Kong and Macao through their social practices in local areas,and encouraged more local residents to integrate into the development of the GBA,which played a significant role in its social integra-tion in an informal way with the power of emotion.However,entrepreneurs'emotions towards Mainland China were conflict,and the relationship between their sense of belonging to Mainland China and their social participation was also complicated.Entrepreneurs from Hong Kong and Macao had not completely integrated into the GBA psychologically.Government also lacked the top-level design to strengthen the radiating effect of Hong Kong and Macao entrepreneurs on Mainland China in promoting youth entrepreneurship of Hong Kong and Macao in the GBA.The contribution of this research is reflected in two aspects:This study has enriched the research perspective and research scale of related research in China;and,it provides an effective path for the practice of emotional governance of the GBA.
