It aims at optimizing the urban-rural spatial structure by reshaping the layout of rural settlements, improving the rural industries by enhancing the studies on industrial development, catering to the villagers' needs by exploring effective approaches to the equalization of public services, and promoting the eff iciency of village planning implementation by developing effective measures. Taking the practice of Zhejiang Province as an example, this paper tries to summarize the features of the village planning scheme compilation in the context of rapid structural change and to explore the possible approaches to a coordinated urban and rural development.展开更多

Essentially, planning is a kind of institutional arrangement according to the demands of multiple actors under certain social context. Since actors and their behaviors in villages are far different from those in cities, leading to the reorganization of planning assumptions and prerequisites, village planning paradigms are prominently distinct from urban planning paradigms. This paper figures out the significance of social networks and argues that village planning is a kind of communicative planning based on endogenous order, referring to the paradigm development course of Western urban planning theories and the features of Chinese villages. In conclusion, it stresses that village planning should focus on social network and promote communication, coordination, and consensus-building, and accordingly planners should adjust their role.展开更多

Taking Fengyang Town of Fenxi County, Jiangxi Province for example, this paper applied Arc GIS to analyze natural facors, social economy, and construction factors quantitatively by evaluating development and construction conditions of each village comprehensively from the perspective of urban-rural integration. Classifying the villages into 4 types, namely urban reform type, concentrated development type, controlled construction type and relocation type, this paper tried to guide the scattered rural settlements to the intensive development.展开更多

Each article presents an in-depth case study of a single village and its unique combination of change and continuity. Together, these case studies demonstrate the specifi city and idiosyncrasy of village transformation and the need for planners to "take actions that suit local conditions"(yindi zhiyi). This installment investigates Panyang Village, located in the Xiangcheng District of Suzhou Municipality. The municipality has used a portion of Panyang's land for an industrial development zone, and the remainder of the village has been turned into relocation housing for displaced villagers. This has resulted in profound economic and socio-spatial transformation, but Panyang has not been allowed to fully urbanize. For instance, both the village and its residents are still administratively rural, and the municipality has imposed building codes that preserve the village's existing housing typology. The tension between economic transformation and socio-spatial conservation has led to unforeseen consequences, including a diffuse, de-centered morphology; increasing disinvestment on the part of registered villagers; and new development initiatives by migrant workers.展开更多

Each article presents an in-depth case study of a single village and its unique combination of change and continuity. Together,these case studies demonstrate the specifi city and idiosyncrasy of village transformation and the need for planners to "take actions that suit local conditions"(yindi zhiyi). This installment investigates Hailong Village in the Jiulongpo District of Chongqing. Hailong's leaders have encouraged economic transformation through the conversion of agricultural land to industrial uses,while seeking to maintain the continuity of the village's political institutions. Meanwhile,villagers have responded to rapid change by seeking to preserve the continuity of family and community networks of mutual support embedded in the sociospatial fabric of their natural villages. The tension between change and continuity has led to contradictions in Hailong's development,and the village has experienced increasing fragmentation and unsustainable land use intensification. A subsequent planning initiative has sought to balance the desire for economic growth with the need to maintain Hailong's rurality by steering the village toward agro-tourism and real estate development. As Hailong moves down this path,it is unclear how much longer its socio-spatial identity as a village can be maintained.展开更多

Each article presents an in-depth case study of a single village and its unique combination of change and continuity. Together, these case studies demonstrate the specificity and idiosyncrasy of village transformation and the need for planners to "take actions that suit local conditions"(yin di zhi yi). This installment investigates Wanmin Village, in Pujiang County, Chengdu. Wanmin has yet to experience dramatic urban transformation, and it is currently undergoing a planning process in order to prepare for such change. This article thus takes a forward-looking approach, seeking to demonstrate how the ethnographic insights from this series can be employed to develop actionable planning recommendations for other transforming villages in China. In investigating Wanmin, I identify three main dimensions along which change and continuity are in tension:development versus conservation, concentration versus dispersal, and socio-spatial mobility versus investments in fixed land resources. I then propose four potential strategies for resolving these tensions:economic diversification, transportation, adaptive re-use, and cooperative governance. I conclude by considering how an ethnographic approach might be implemented in other instances of village transformation in China.展开更多

Meanwhile, building development in rural areas is also accelerating. The paper intends to illustrate an original study focusing on villagers' role in participation in village plan implementation in rural areas of China. Case studies, comparative studies, interviews, and questionnaires have been applied to reveal the mechanism of villager participation in village plan imple-mentation. Two case villages, which are pioneer units in the transition in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, have been selected. The study outcome shows that the villager participation plays an extremely important role in implementing the official village plan. The ideal development regulation mode in village planning in rural China should be a local government-villager cooperating system formed by three pillars: financial and technical supports from local governments; the participation of rural autonomous organizations, non-governmental organizations, and "able persons" in formulation, implementation, and monitoring of official village plans; village construction teams like developers.展开更多
