本文通过对北京胡同居民的深入访谈,探讨了胡同这一富有地域特色的物理空间对居民情感、社会互动及文化认同的影响。胡同的独特空间布局不仅塑造了居民的日常生活方式,还强化了社区的紧密联系和传统文化的传承。然而,随着城市化进程的加快,胡同的物理空间面临着拆迁和商业化改造的挑战,这不仅改变了居民的生活方式,也引发了对传统生活方式的怀念和对未来生活的担忧。本研究旨在通过实证分析以及深入访谈,揭示胡同物理空间在现代城市化背景下的复杂作用,为城市规划和文化保护提供理论支持和实践参考。This article explores the impact of hutongs, a physically distinctive space rich in local characteristics, on residents’ emotions, social interactions, and cultural identity through in-depth interviews with Beijing hutong residents. The unique spatial configuration of hutongs not only shapes residents’ daily activities but also fosters strong community bonds and the perpetuation of traditional culture. However, rapid urbanization poses significant challenges to the physical spaces of hutongs, including demolition and commercialization, which transform residents’ lifestyles and evoke nostalgia for traditional living as well as concerns about future living conditions. This research aims to provide empirical insights into the multifaceted role of hutong physical spaces amid modern urbanization, offering theoretical and practical implications for urban planning and cultural preservation.
