Abstract

Rapid urbanization and consumerization are leading to significant transformation and spatial restructuring in the rural areas of China's suburbs. Promoting the commodification of rural nature with capital has become an important strategy for rural spatial restructuring. However, the research on how capital reshapes rural space from the perspective of rural nature is still insufficient. Based on the theoretical perspective of nature commodification, this study constructs a framework to analyze the relationship between rural nature and rural spatial restructuring. Taking Nanping Meditation Town in Guangzhou as a typical case, it discusses the process and mechanism of rural spatial restructuring in suburbs relying on the commodification of rural nature with capital’s intervention. The results show that: (1) Driven by China’s process of counter-urbanization and consumerism, capital constructs rural nature in suburbs by giving meaning to it. Diversified capitals promote the multi-functionalization, networking, and commodification of material, social, and cultural spaces in the countryside through the process of redistribution of urban and rural resources. At the same time, along with the spatial games of pluralistic subjects, the material, social, and cultural spaces further interact with each other and constantly undergo reconstruction. (2) The commodification of rural nature is an external response and a crucial strategy of rural spatial restructuring. It offers a new approach to enhance the value of the countryside. Rural nature is commodified through resources integration and value excavation, product planning and design, brand promotion and marketing under the influence of various capital entities. This process holds significant theoretical and practical importance for the endogenous development and revitalization of rural areas.

资本干预下的郊区农村空间重组:基于自然的空间构建
快速的城市化和消费化正在导致中国郊区农村地区的重大转型和空间重组。以资本推动乡村自然的商品化已成为乡村空间重构的重要战略。然而,从乡村自然的视角来研究资本如何重塑乡村空间的研究仍显不足。本研究基于自然商品化的理论视角,构建了一个分析乡村自然与乡村空间重构关系的框架。以广州市南坪禅修小镇为典型案例,探讨在资本的介入下,郊区乡村空间重构依托乡村自然商品化的过程和机制。研究结果表明(1)在中国逆城市化和消费主义进程的推动下,资本通过赋予郊区乡村自然意义来建构乡村自然。多元化的资本通过城乡资源的再分配,促进了乡村物质、社会和文化空间的多功能化、网络化和商品化。同时,伴随着多元主体的空间博弈,物质空间、社会空间、文化空间进一步相互作用,不断进行重构。(2) 乡村自然的商品化是乡村空间重构的外部反应和重要策略。它为提升乡村价值提供了新的途径。在各类资本主体的影响下,通过资源整合与价值挖掘、产品策划与设计、品牌推广与营销,乡村自然被商品化。这一过程对于乡村地区的内生发展和振兴具有重要的理论和实践意义。

期刊介绍: Habitat International is dedicated to the study of urban and rural human settlements: their planning, design, production and management. Its main focus is on urbanisation in its broadest sense in the developing world. However, increasingly the interrelationships and linkages between cities and towns in the developing and developed worlds are becoming apparent and solutions to the problems that result are urgently required. The economic, social, technological and political systems of the world are intertwined and changes in one region almost always affect other regions.
