The Evolution and Driving Forces of Rural Housing Space from the Perspective of Family Changes
Rural housing is closely related to the quality of life of rural residents,and it is crucial for the development and planning of rural areas as well as for the protection and inheritance of local culture.This paper analyzes the evolution of rural housing space from the micro-perspective of family changes.Based on the theory of family modernization,it proposes an"family change-space evolution"analytical framework and uses anthropological methods to conduct a detailed observation and analysis of a rural house built in the 1980s in a mountainous area in Northeast China and the family living in it.This paper interprets family changes in two temporal dimensions:one is historical time,which is synchronized with the family life cycle,and the other is daily time,which aligns with the daily life rhythm of the family.The evolution of rural housing space is observed from these two dimensions,and it concludes that the individualization of family members,the differences in contemporary division of labor between men and women,and the family's role in buffering social pressures have driven the evolution of the form of rural housing spaces at the micro-level.
