在《中国》一书中，出现了一种关于各种社会群体的社会交往和邻里依恋的新兴文学。然而，很少有人直接讨论当地人和移民在邻里一级的互动问题。本文考察了南京市群体间邻里关系的变化，以及住房特征和户籍状况对这一过程的影响。通过群体间沟通和相互支持来衡量，这项研究显示，流动人口更有可能与城市邻居互动，这表明流动人口不仅可能相互互动，而且愿意与当地邻居互动和帮助。此外，与通过房地产市场开发的现代商品房社区相比，以四合院和临时庇护所为特征的较老和更贫穷的社区具有更高水平的这种群体间社会互动桥梁。这意味着，政府对老旧社区的大规模重建计划可能会阻碍移民的社会融合，并减少群体间社会关系的栖息地。
There is an emerging literature on social interaction and neighbourhood attachment of various social groups in China. However, few have directly addressed the interaction between the locals and migrants at the neighbourhood level. This paper examines the variation of intergroup neighbouring in the city of Nanjing and how housing characteristics and hukou status may affect this process. Measured by intergroup communication and mutual support, this study reveals that migrants are more likely to interact with their urban neighbours, which suggests that migrants might not only interact with each other but also are willing to interact and help with local neighbours. Furthermore, compared with modern commodity housing neighbourhoods developed through the real estate market, older and physically more deprived neighbourhoods characterised by courtyard housing and provisional shelters have higher levels of this intergroup bridging social interaction. This implies that the government's extensive redevelopment schemes of older neighbourhoods will likely impede on the social integration of migrants and reduce the habitat of intergroup social ties.
