Enlightenments from the Flexible Using of Japanese Vacant Houses to Activation of Atypical Traditional Villages in China: A Case Study on the Practice in Horikoshi, Shodoshima
Abstract:Large numbers of atypical traditional villages that exist in the vast rural areas of China are of great value. However, they are facing with the double “emptiness” dilemma of villager outflow and folk house vacancy, and have to be activated urgently. In Japan, vacant houses in similar rural areas are used as an effective mean to activate villages, which could provide beneficial references. This paper first analyzes the factor of urban migrants and the philosophy of vacant house regeneration from the concept of Japanese vacant houses. It then carries out a case study based on a workshop practice in Horikoshi, Shodoshima, in which experiences of Japan in flexible using of vacant houses were discussed from perspectives of promotion systems, support organizations and regeneration means. On this basis, some suggestions which are conducive to population return and endogenous development of atypical traditional villages are proposed: 1) establishing three-dimensional and information-based institutive support systems; 2) setting up multilateral joint support organizations that integrates enterprise, academia, government and people; 3) integrating spatial activation and regeneration means into community life.
