An Exploration on the Implementation of Traditional Village Conservation with Enterprise Involvement: A Case Study of Xijingyu Village, Jixian County, Tianjin

摘要

In contemporary China, considerable traditional villages have either suffered from ''''developmental and constructive'''' damage, or have gradually declined due to conservation constraints. Under the current rural revitalization wave initiated by the Central Government, products, capitals, enterprises, and urban elites have entered the countryside. The actors of conserving and revitalizing traditional villages become multiple, which include local governments, enterprises, planners, village planning committees, and villagers. The paper takes Xijingyu Village in Jixian County, Tianjin as a specific case, and investigates the new mode of multiple participation in conservation and revitalization. Based on empirical data, it identifies the main problems regarding agriculture, the rural environment, and peasants, and reveals how to coordinate the roles of local government, village committee, villagers, enterprises, and other actors.
