Abstract

The urban cemetery is the material carrier of citizens' view of life and death, and it also evolves with time as a special part of the urban form. Since the reform of the housing system in the 1990s, China has entered a period of rapid urbanization, and the urban cemeteries has entered a cycle of shock and accelerated transformation. The cemeteries originally located on the urban fringe were gradually surrounded by new built-up areas as the city sprawled, and then most of them inevitably migrated outward under the pressure of urban population explosion and land shortage. Taking Nanjing as an example, this paper presents the morphological evolution of Nanjing's urban cemetery since the early 20th century, discusses the relationship between the evolution of the cemetery and the urban fringe belt, and analyzes the reasons for its evolution. The different types of morphological evolution of Nanjing cemetery are further summarized, revealing the general law and its Chinese particularity. The article concludes with a discussion of the value and significance of morphological research on urban cemeteries in China.

边缘带视角下中国城市墓地形态演变——以南京市为例

城市墓地是市民生死观的物质载体，也是城市形态的特殊组成部分，随着时间的推移而演变。自20世纪90年代住房制度改革以来，中国进入了快速城市化时期，城市墓地进入了震荡和加速转型的周期。原本位于城市边缘的墓地随着城市的扩张逐渐被新的建成区包围，在城市人口爆炸和土地短缺的压力下，大部分墓地不可避免地向外迁移。本文以南京为例，介绍了20世纪初以来南京城市墓地的形态演变，探讨了墓地演变与城市边缘带的关系，并分析了其演变的原因。进一步总结了南京墓园形态演变的不同类型，揭示了南京墓园形态演变的一般规律及其中国特色。文章最后对中国城市墓地形态研究的价值和意义进行了探讨。
