Abstract

In most literature it is particularly argued that the dichotomous basis of urban and rural definitions has many features that state rural areas as existing along a continuum within which individuals, households, communities and institutions distribute themselves. One important character of peri-urban environments is the dynamic nature in which social forms and arrangements are created, modified and discarded (Smit 1989, p.77). Mostly important, there are areas of social compression where the density of social forms, types and meanings increases, fomenting conflict and social evolution. Nevertheless, rural, peri-urban and urban forms a linkage system which is uneven multi-dimensional continuum. It can be highly contested that peri-urban environments are places of social compression and dynamic social change because migration and urbanization peri-urban environments play a mediating role between rural and urban settlements (Smit 1989, p.77).It is suggested that urbanization in developed nations has been attributed to such as urban welfare, regionalization processes and increasing urban population coupled with rural population decline. On the other hand, urbanization in developing nations relate to issues such as rural- urban migration, natural population increase, and rural urbanization (Adell 1999, p.3).
具体发展理论:以城乡差异为例
在大多数文献中,人们特别认为,城市和农村定义的二分基础具有许多特征,这些特征表明农村地区存在于一个连续体中,个人、家庭、社区和机构分布在其中。城市周边环境的一个重要特征是社会形式和安排的创造、修改和抛弃的动态性质(Smit 1989,第77页)。最重要的是,存在社会压缩的领域,其中社会形式、类型和意义的密度增加,从而引发冲突和社会演变。然而,农村、城郊和城市形成了一个不平衡的多维连续体的联动系统。城郊环境是社会压缩和社会动态变化的地方,这一点可以引起高度争议,因为移徙和城市化城郊环境在农村和城市住区之间起着中介作用(Smit 1989,第77页)。发达国家的城市化可归因于城市福利、区域化进程和城市人口增加加上农村人口减少等因素。另一方面,发展中国家的城市化涉及诸如农村-城市迁移、自然人口增长和农村城市化等问题(Adell 1999,第3页)。
