Analysis of Intergenerational Differences in the Social Space of Villagers—A Case Study of Reconstructed Housing Communities in Guangzhou
The transformation and optimization of urban spatial layout,together with the rapid development of media information technology,the dual transformation of physical and virtual spaces,have jointly shaped the original social spatial layout of urban vil-lage residents.This article starts from Henry Lefebvre's triadic dialectics of social space and Soja's theory of the Third Space,com-bined with the theory of digital generation gap,using in-depth interviews and online ethnography,to explore the intergenerational dif-ferences in the social space of villagers in the reconstructed housing community.The aim is to provide new ideas and directions for strengthening the sense of belonging and clan cohesion of the elderly,middle-aged,and young generations of villagers in the commu-nity,and enabling the social space relied on by the old village community to better play its functional role.The study summarized three types of social activity venues and their characteristics:community parks,cross regional clan celebrations,and online ancestral hall WeChat groups/reconstructed housing community WeChat groups,and further elaborated on how the three generations of villagers play important roles in the aforementioned social spaces.
