Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 建築與城鄉研究所 === 96 === The study attempts to explore three questions ”how communities construct the identity of the self and the other”, “how the construction and reproduction affect the interaction between different communities ”, and ”what kind of strategy individual actor utilizes to maintain or to reverse the identity. ” The study based on participant observation method, to choose two groups of people, the residents in Jian-Dong Village and peasant workers from inland province as the object of the research, analyzes interaction conditions between them.
Urban village as a special/ transitional urban space or lifestyle, the interaction between the residents in Jian-Dong Village and foreign peasant workers has to be included and analyzed in a broader framework, like “urban-urban village- village,” “urban government- residents in urban village- foreign peasant workers”, etc. Dominant policy measures construct the structural interactive relationship and class identity of residents in urban village and foreign peasant workers, and media also promotes the negative image. It causes that two people face anxiety of identity and have to calculate self-interests, to develop survival strategies and to transform roles quickly in the different living situations.
The study concludes that by reflecting the popular social logic thinking and the mainstream discourse about urban village redevelopment, modernity and urban-countryside, there are more important interrelations in the construction of class identity and interaction between different communities. Policy makers and urban planners should have flexible and diversified attitudes toward the different life strategies of different communities based under the pursuit of self-survival.
