族群互动视角下南岭民族走廊桂江流域聚落空间的社会关系表征研究

我国已开展关于自然、文化影响因素的聚落研究。然而由于研究者较少考虑文化交流的作用，现有成果多局限于对特定地区或族群的空间形态与建造技艺的讨论。本课题以动态发展的族群性为出发点，研究多民族聚居区内族群互动如何影响空间营造、表征社会关系。.基于社会空间理论，本课题认为社会关系不仅赋予空间以特定的功能，也使之具有社会文化意义。以位于南岭民族走廊西端的桂江流域(黔、湘、桂交界地区)村寨为研究对象，本课题将从壮、侗、苗、瑶、汉等族群聚落中选取10-15个典型村寨进行重点解析，再现流域、聚落与建筑三个层次的空间及其表征的社会关系的演变历史。通过族群互动历史的梳理与典型聚落的比较，本课题将分析族群之间如何共同营造空间以及如何相互学习、传播空间营造，解释族群互动如何借由社会关系影响聚落空间的发展演变。以延续族群认同为目标，本课题的研究成果将完善聚落设计策略，为我国乡村建设提供参考。

Although a great amount of research has been carried out on the natural and cultural factors that influence the evolution of settlements, the main areas of discussion are limited to only those related to their spatial forms and building techniques. These discussions are also limited to only within some certain regions belonging only to a particular ethnic group. This has been due to the fact that scholars have neither been paying much attention to the communication nor the sociocultural interactions among different cultural milieus . This research aims to shed light on how the sociocultural dynamics among different ethic groups play a role in the construction of space and its social relations..The case study of this research include approximately 15 villages of 5 ethic groups situated along the Gui River in the western part of Nanling Ethnic Corridor (in the triangular junction area between Guizhou, Hunan and Guangxi provinces). This research aims to study systemically and historically how each ethic group’s usage of space shape and influence the space and the social relations of other groups. Comparatively studying the Zhuang, Dong, Miao, Yao and Han ethnic villages, this research takes the different types and hierarchies of their social organizations as active agencies in the spatial practice that gives not only the functions but also meanings in the social relations of those spaces. The historical study will explain how the interactions and the social relations among and within these ethnic groups shape and influence the representational spaces. The outcome of this research will include community-oriented design principles of the settlements that foster the continuity of the identities and cultural diversity of the ethnic residents with a hope to contribute to the national policy of Rural Construction.
