中国正处于城市化快速发展时期，大都市周围的乡村社区受城市化的影响显著。在这种影响之下，乡村居民对原有社区的依附性下降，从而对社区的认同感和地方感也下降了。本研究选取北京中心城区外的三个社区：观音景园、白家疃、东红寺，它们分别位于城市边缘区、城乡交接区、城市远郊区，由完全非农化的社区过渡到受城市化影响很小的农业村庄。本文作者对三个社区进行了实地调查，首先刻画和描述城市化过程中这三个社区地方感、日常生活空间、社区内部组织活动、社区实体空间的差异；其次分析了城市化过程中日常生活空间结构、社区内部组织活动、社区实体空间的变化如何影响地方感；最后结合结构化理论对城市化过程中地方感的变化进行了分析。本研究发现，随着城市化的进行，日常生活空间结构、社区内部组织活动和社区的实体空间相互作用，塑造了地方感。城市化造成的职业的改变、促进职业转变的文化程度和职业改变产生的收入提高，是造成社区日常生活空间分异的结构性因素，这一作用过程削弱了地方感；而社区内部的组织、社会活动和社会网络等社会实践是具有能动性的，这些因素可以促进地方感和地方认同。最后本文提出了促进地方感的建议：保持和加强社区内部组织和活动，保留和建设有地方意义的物质景观，从而为“自下而上”建设社会主义新农村和区域规划提出了相关的参考意见。

The rural communities near metropolis change drastically under the rapid urbanization in China. The residents’ dependencies to the community become weak, so place identity and the sense of place may decrease. The three communities studied in the paper were Guanyinjingyuan, Baijiatuan and Donghongsi, which respectively locate in the urban fringe, urban–rural transition region and suburb. The degree of urbanization in these three communities decreased with the increase of distance from the center of Beijing city. The first community has been urbanized from a rural community 5 years ago and the third one was affected by the urbanization a little. The authors investigated these three communities. First, the author described the difference of sense of place, structure of daily life space, social practice and physical space between these three communities. Then the author analyzed how the structure of daily life space, social practices (including social network, organization and activities) and physical space in the communities changed the sense of place in the process of urbanization. At last, the author used the structuration theory to explain the process and practice of sense of place in urbanization rush.The research reveals the interaction of the structure of daily life space, social practice and physical space in the community has changed the sense of place in urbanization rush. The employment change of residents in these communities, the level of education which help the change of employment and income which increases after the change of employment are the structural factors. They differentiate the daily life experience so that they decrease the sense of place. But the social network, the dependency of organization and activities in the community can promote the sense of place. They make the community an agency. To promote the sense of place, people should maintenance and empower the organization in the community, conserve and build the landscape which is full of the meaning of place. Sense of place can empower the community and help the self-organization of community, which is useful for the regional planning and the construction of “New Socialist Countryside” from bottom to up.
