摘要
At present, Chinese cities and society face multiple and drastic reconstructions with various problems and challenges, and as the people-oriented development proposition becomes popular again, communities in cities become the practice units with long-term significance. Domestic community studies mostly conduct empirical approaches to research on an individual topic, such as governance, emotion, and environment, whereas comprehensive and systematic community-based studies remain scant. This study analyzes the essential connotations of communities and constructs the system of inner-outer core of a community from the theoretical perspectives of humanity and structure . Based on survey data of 3302 questionnaires from a total of 15 sample communities in Guangzhou and using the Structural Equation Model, this study analyzes the operating logic of the community system, with a focus on exploring the neighboring as the essence of the community and its influence mechanism. The findings are as follows: (1) community system contains multiple organic structures and different operating logics, with a wealth of endogenous driving energy; (2) compared with other attribute variables, physical space attribute has the strongest positive effect on the neighboring, and it is closely related to other dimensional attributes, which reflects that physical space occupies the key position among these variables; (3) in the community system, the influence of the four dimensions on the level of neighboring shows different characteristics, which reflect corresponding operating mechanism. In terms of the inner core , there are multiple correlations among the three factors of neighboring, which contain rich endogenous potential; as for the outer core , there are mutual influences among the four-dimensional attributes. Each dimensional attribute has various direct and indirect action paths and different effects on neighboring. Nowadays, it is necessary to return to the essence of community to analyze the system's operational connotation, and then to explore the corresponding development strategies. In various practices, we need to pay attention to neighboring as the “inner core”and the endogenous driving force contained therein, to emphasize the efficient integration and mutual interaction between the various dimensional attributes and the community's sense of home, cohesion, and action, and cultivate the community's own energy and capital to form an endogenous drive type of benign development. ? 2022, Science Press.
