基于社会资本理论的社区农园功能与策略研究

为探究社区农园促进社区重建的社会作用机制,研究引入社会资本视角,结合对"社区农园"维护者、组织者和第三方合作机构的半结构化访谈和实地观察,深入分析社区农园的社会资本与社区重建的关系。研究表明,社区农园能够建立信任、社会网络和规范,农园所产生的社会资本具有激发居民自治意识,培育自治能力的社会功能。最后,结合调研与理论分析,提出社区农园发展须针对社区农园社会资本形成的条件,完善自上而下的制度保障、培育多层次的参与机制、构建多元化的功能空间。

Research on Function and Strategy of Community Gardens Based on Social Capital Theory

To explore the social function mechanism of community gardens in the promotion of community reconstruction, this paper introduces the social capital perspective. Based on the semi-structured in-depth interviews and on-site observations of the key participants of community gardens, including maintainers, organizers and third-party cooperation agencies, it deeply analyzes the relationship between social capital of community gardens and community reconstruction. The research result shows that community gardens contribute to the establishment of trust, social network and norm. Specifically, the social capital generated by community gardens has the social function of activating self-governance conscience and cultivating self-governance ability. Based on the findings from the surveys and theoretical analysis, this paper proposes that the development strategies of community gardens should be aligned with the formation of social capital. Lastly, it discusses the specific strategies, namely improving top-down institutional guarantee, establishing multi-level participation mechanism, and creating multi-functional spaces.
