| Title: | Determinants of urban identity in urbanizing China : findings from a survey experiment | Authors: | Chen, J Yue, C Ren, L Yan, J |
Issue Date: | 2020 | Source: | Chinese sociological review, 2020, v. 52, no. 3, p. 295-318 | Abstract: | Based on data collected from an original factorial survey experiment in the 2018 Urbanization and Quality of Life Survey, this study seeks to test the factors that determine the level of urban identity among the residents of 40 township-level administrative units in newly urbanized areas or potential sites of urbanization in China. Our results indicate that, while urban identity continues to be strongly forged by hukou status, home ownership also plays an important part in predicting urban identity. Owning an apartment in the city positively predicts a higher level of urban identity; residing in resettlement housing does not enhance urban identity. Different from hypothesized, the pathway to urban residency—whether it is rural-to-urban migration or in-situ urbanization—does not have differential effect on urban identity, nor do the effects of hukou and home ownership differ between the two pathways. The findings suggest that in order to foster the integration of former rural residents into Chinese cities, the government must radically reform the hukou system and ensure access to stable and permanent housing among the new urbanites while reducing residential segregation. | Publisher: | Routledge | Journal: | Chinese sociological review | ISSN: | 2162-0555 | EISSN: | 2162-0563 | DOI: | 10.1080/21620555.2020.1740585 | Rights: | © 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Chinese Sociological Review on 26 Mar 2020 (Published online), available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/21620555.2020.1740585 |
