Intraurban Settlement Patterns and Adaptation of China's Rural Migrants

弗吉尼亚联邦大学 拟议的研究规划拨款将研究中国城市内的定居模式和临时农村移民的适应。 将完成两项任务。PI将评估城市内移民定居和适应的流行理论在中国背景下的适用性，并确定可能会或可能不会导致中国模式与其他发展中国家不同的结构性因素。 这些理论的见解，然后将被用来实证检验几个假设在上海使用现有的官方移民调查和研究者自己的实地考察。 将在全市范围内进行调查，以评估住房选择。 将对流动人口、城市居民和社区组织者进行集中观察和深度访谈，调查适应和城市流动人口亚社区的形成问题。

Virginia Commonwealth University The proposed research planning grant will examine intraurban settlement patterns and adaptation of temporary rural migrants in China. Two tasks will be accomplished. The PI will assess the applicability of prevailing theories of intraurban migrant settlement and adaptation in the Chinese context and identify the structural factors that may or may not cause Chinese patterns to differ from other developing countries. These theoretical insights will then be used to empirically test several hypotheses in Shanghai using existing official migrant surveys and the researcher's own fieldwork. City-wide surveys will be conducted to assess housing choice. Focused observation and in-depth interviews will be carried out with migrants, urban residents and community organizers to investigate issues of adaptation and the formation of urban migrant sub-communities.
