Abstract

This study is to understand how urban residents experience and address difference through communicative actions in urban neighborhoods. The first purpose of this study was to test the scales of difference-managing community storytelling (DMCS) and difference-reducing community storytelling (DRCS) as two communicative actions for addressing differences in urban neighborhoods. The second was to identify socioeconomic and community engagement variables correlated with the two scales. We used both qualitative and quantitative data collected in Seoul by adopting a mixed-method research design, and the study was theoretically guided by communication infrastructure theory. Based on exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, we confirmed the two-dimensional model of community storytelling, with DMCS being positively related to integrated connectedness to a community storytelling network (ICSN) and all of the community engagement variables included in the current study. In comparison, DRCS was negatively related to ICSN and neighborhood participation and was positively related to informal social control.

城市社区的差异管理和差异减少:一个传播基础设施理论的视角

本研究旨在了解城市居民如何通过在城市社区的交流行为来体验和解决差异。本研究的第一个目的是测试差异管理社区故事（DMCS）和差异减少社区故事（DRCS）作为解决城市社区差异的两种沟通行动的量表。第二个是确定与这两个量表相关的社会经济和社区参与变量。我们采用混合方法研究设计，使用了在首尔收集的定性和定量数据，并以通信基础设施理论为理论指导进行研究。基于探索性和验证性因素分析，我们证实了社区讲故事的二维模型，DMCS与社区讲故事网络（ICSN）的综合连通性以及当前研究中包括的所有社区参与变量呈正相关。相比之下，DRCS与ICSN和社区参与呈负相关，与非正式社会控制呈正相关。
