Challenges and trends in the preservation and utilization of traditional villages in rapidly urbanized area:A case study of the Pearl River Delta
The rapid urbanization has profound impacts on traditional villages,and clarifying its rigid constraints and activation drivers for preservation and utilization is of significant theo-retical and practical importance.This paper takes traditional villages in the Pearl River Delta(PRD)as the research object,supported by long-term tracking investigations and return visits.Based on the dialectical relationship between the impacts and opportunities brought by rapid ur-banization,the paper attempts to construct a targeted research framework for preservation con-straints and activation utilization,revealing the major challenges,progress,and development prospects of traditional village preservation and utilization in the PRD.The results indicate that:(1)The challenges of preservation and utilization are mainly reflected in the alienation and damage of material elements such as the overall pattern and settlement space,as well as facing constraints such as numerous historical issues and high input costs.(2)Rapid urbanization also serves as an important opportunity for the revitalization and development of traditional villages in the PRD.The expansion of urban functions,population aggregation,and consumption poten-tial have promoted new progress in preservation and utilization,including"remediation"based on government investment,"self-rescue"assisted by multiple subjects,"salvation"under the in-tervention of social enterprises,and"rescue"seizing policy opportunities.The paper also com-bines land spatial planning,new urbanization,rural revitalization,and other aspects to forecast the development prospects of traditional village preservation and utilization in the PRD in the New Era.
