改革开放以来，开发区已经成为我国在经济全球化背景下快速推进工业化和城市化进程的重要空间载体。大量近郊的农村地域由此迅速转变为厂房和城区，原有地方社会网络被破坏，地方文化认同模糊，社会矛盾趋于复杂。本课题拟借鉴西方新文化地理学和行为地理学的研究成果，主要基于对上海闵行、张江、临港以及长沙经开区和高新区等典型开发区的实地调研，深入剖析开发区建设机理及对城郊地方文化空间重构的影响。研究将在产品内分工视角下探索开发区的经济活动特征和社会结构特点，进而分析开发区建设对城郊地方文化景观和居民地方文化认同的影响；通过借鉴西方空间政治研究的方法，课题将重点剖析外来移民与本地失地农民的社会空间分异状况，尤其将调研外来人口中女性和青少年等特殊群体的行为空间，以期探索开发区文化空间重构的内在机理和长期影响。课题还将提出开发区文化空间优化的策略与行动建议，以期对开发区的文化建设和持续、协调发展有所裨益。

Since the unveiling of Open Policy, development areas have been important spaces in China which have rapid progress of industrialization and urbanization in the context of globalization. This may turn a lot of rural areas into industrial and urban areas, which are likely to change social network, take away sense of place and make social conflicts more complicated. This project intends to learn from the new cultural geography and behavioral geography research in west countries, mainly based on field research on some typical developing zones, including Shanghai Minhang Economic & Technological Development Zone, Shanghai Zhangjiang High-tech Park, Shanghai Lingang Industrial Park, Changsha Economic & Technological Development Zone and Changsha High-tech Industrial Development Zone, in-depth analysis of the influence of construction of development areas on the reconstruction of local cultural space in suburban areas. This research will explore characteristics of economic activities and social structure in the development areas from a perspective of intro-product specialization, and then analyze how the construction of development area affects the local cultural landscapes and the cultural identities of local residents. By drawing on the methods of western political research, this project will focus on the analyses of the differentiation in social space between migrant workers and local landless peasants, especially on the survey about the behavioral space of the female and the young and hope to know the inner mechanism and long-term influence of the reconstruction of cultural space in developing zones. This project will also put forward some strategies and suggestions to optimize the cultural space in development area, which are expected to promote the culture-building and the sustainable and coordinated development in development areas.
