本文考察了中国市区移民后居民是否能够重新获得归属感和邻里关系，以及是什么因素阻止或使他们能够做到这一点。审查重新安置后的居民社区关系的工作越来越多。然而，这一社区重建过程大多被理解为居民主导，对国家主导的社区建设和改变安置政策等国家行动的作用和影响知之甚少。我们的研究通过以上海主要易地搬迁安置点之一的合沙航城为例，解决了这一差距。通过对住户调查和访问的分析，我们发现居民的归属感和邻里关系比安置前更差。分析进一步显示，较满意新居所和邻里关系的居民，往往较不满意和觉得在安置中蒙受损失的居民有较佳的邻里关系和归属感。此外，国家通过提供更多的社区组织和活动来重建社区的努力，为居民提供了一个相互认识的平台，有助于促进邻里关系和归属感。从理论上讲，我们的研究有助于揭示居民和国家主导的社区重建努力之间的相互作用，以及它们如何影响重新安置后的社区关系。
This article investigates whether residents have been able to regain their sense of belonging and neighbourliness after being resettled in urban China and what factors have prevented or enabled them to do so. There is a growing body of work examining the post-resettlement community relations of residents. However, this process of community rebuilding is mostly understood as resident-led and little is known about the role and influence of state actions such as state-led community building and changing resettlement policies. Our study addresses this gap by drawing on the case of Hesha Hangcheng which is one of Shanghai’s major relocation settlements. Our findings, from analysing a household survey and interviews, show that the sense of belonging and neighbourly relations of residents are poorer compared to before they were resettled. The analysis further reveals that residents who are more satisfied with their new housing and neighbourhood tend to have better neighbourly relations and sense of belonging compared to those who are not satisfied and feel they have lost out from the resettlement. Additionally, the state’s efforts in rebuilding communities by providing more community organisations and activities have given residents a platform to encounter each other and help facilitate neighbourliness and a sense of belonging. Theoretically, our study contributes by revealing the interplay between residents and state-led community rebuilding efforts and how they have affected post-resettlement community relations.
