Abstract

Relocation, both within China and other countries, typically results in a decline in neighbourhood relationships, especially for people who do not move willingly. For migrants, preserving neighbourhood relationships is particularly important as they often rely on these connections as their fitting-in strategy within cities. However, little empirical research has unravelled how migrants navigate relocation under massive urban redevelopment contexts and preserve pre-existing neighbourhood relationships. This paper examines to what extent and in what ways relocation willingness influences pre-existing neighbourhood relationships by applying multiple mediation effect models to a questionnaire survey dataset collected in 2022–2023. The results reveal that migrants who are more willing to relocate tend to stay in touch with former neighbours post-relocation. Additionally, relocation strategies (i.e., moving with former neighbours and short-distance moving) are important pathways through which relocation willingness can have positive effects on preserving pre-existing neighbourhood relationships. Interview data further indicates that employing relocation strategies not only aids in preserving pre-existing neighbourhood relationships but also in establishing new ones in destination neighbourhoods. The results suggest that extended eviction notice periods and phased redevelopment approaches could provide migrants with the opportunity to implement relocation strategies mitigating adverse impacts of relocation and better adapt to new neighbourhoods.
两种搬迁策略:在深圳保留昔日的邻里关系
无论是在中国还是在其他国家,搬迁通常会导致邻里关系的减少,尤其是对于那些并非自愿搬迁的人来说。对移民而言,维护邻里关系尤为重要,因为他们通常依赖这些关系作为融入城市的策略。然而,很少有实证研究揭示移民如何在大规模城市再开发背景下进行搬迁并保持原有的邻里关系。本文通过对 2022-2023 年收集的问卷调查数据集应用多重中介效应模型,研究了搬迁意愿在多大程度上以及以何种方式影响了原有的邻里关系。结果显示,搬迁意愿较强的移民在搬迁后倾向于与前邻居保持联系。此外,搬迁策略(即与前邻居一起搬迁和短距离搬迁)是搬迁意愿对保持原有邻里关系产生积极影响的重要途径。访谈数据进一步表明,采用搬迁策略不仅有助于维护原有的邻里关系,还有助于在目的地社区建立新的邻里关系。研究结果表明,延长搬迁通知期和分阶段重建方法可为移民提供实施搬迁策略的机会,以减轻搬迁的不利影响,并更好地适应新社区。
