“…The extended families are characterized by traditional family values, devoted mothers and fathers, and warm cooperative bonds with broader community. This extended living circle constitutes the typical adaptive mode of many cooperative, kin-based rural communities and contrasts with the individualistic strategies more common within the urban community (Graves & Graves, 1974).…”

Few researchers have observed the Chinese rural-to-urban migrants have the need to have communal activities to help them with the process of managing their spatial transition from the rural setting to the urban setting. This study investigates planning strategies regarding low-rent housing for Chinese rural-to-urban migrants through an examination of the intermediary spaces combined with functions shared among such Chinese migrants in their urban settlements. Chinese migrants gradually transfer from their home rural settlements to establish city lives and engage in urban occupations, but their sense of identity and family network remain grounded in a village culture. The high level of communal activities found in the spontaneous urban settlements of rural-to-urban migrants, can be understood as one aspect of the adherence to the lifestyle of their rural settlements. This research employs Canter's place model for organizing a data collection framework to understand the perception of high level of communal activities. As a

“…Migration, put more broadly, involves relocation or a transfer procedure that bridges individual(s) and spaces-not only for persons who migrate but also for their family relation network. That sense of adherence to community of origin can be regarded as contributing to the floating population and its long-standing safekeeping may be maintained in exchange for cash remittances (Graves and Graves 1974).…”

“…The first condition gives rise to the maintaining of strong bonds with their community of origin while another type contributes heavily to their individualistic development, or to creating barriers to their long-term return home. The larger a migrant's network of urban kinsmen becomes, the longer he remains away, and the higher tendency there is to permanent unreturning (Graves & Graves 1974). As a result, due to large number of the rural population who continue to flow into the steadily developing urban areas, despite the geographical distance, the urban employment structure has given way to a patchwork of variously labor-intensive areas in the city which appear like paddy fields of activity from a rural setting.…”

“…The proportion of permanent rural migrants in cities has been progressively growing (Table 2), age, heredity membership, sibling order, rights to traditional titles (Graves & Graves 1974), and so on have all been cited as significant determinants of who is most likely to stay at home; who leads the chain migration; and who will finally finish the household migration and the whole process of rural-to-urban movement. Likewise, other scholars (Chan 2013;Knight & Song 1995) have found that migrants mainly came from part of a limited-resource and dissatisfied stratification system, and their absence has in turn strengthened the semi or completely undeveloped village structure.…”

Negotiating a Concurrence: Tracing the Visible/Invisible Relocation within Migrant-Inhabited Cities of China

It is essential for us to illuminate the specific role and adaptation process of China's internal peasant-origin migrants (or the peasant flood), who have experiences not entirely different from those suffered by overseas immigrants. A number of reasons convince us to draw this conclusion, including the large gap in income compared to local workers, the fact that they share different cultural values to native residents and the noticeably lower living standards between the areas of the migrants' origin and their destinations.Migration in China is an experience that begins before people move away from their place of origin and continues long after arriving in their new home destinations. As a unique feature of migration research, national relocation is not simply a crossing of a geographical boundary, but also a transgressing of social and psychological environment barriers. Our research intends to examine the underestimated or marginal character played by such outsider crowds with special regard given to the individual's experience of unfamiliar settlements. This involves exploring the role of migrants' transformation through the misapprehension that relocation is merely a geographical movement. We suggest that visible relocation brings other incidental replacements, such as changes in identity, psychological cognition and social cohesion.

“…Mogey (1979) sintetiza estos estudios en una aguda refutación contra Parsons. En estos términos el debate es estéril (Graves y Graves, 1980). El problema tiene que ser reformulado, empezando por el hecho de que la mayoría de los estudios sobre parentesco urbano se enfoca a redes personales asumiendo que el parentesco es un fuerte lazo social, ejemplificado por relaciones sociales primarias cercanas {v.gr., Mitchell, 1969;Fis¬ cher, 1975Fis¬ cher, , 1976Wellman, Carrington y Hall, 1988).…”

El enfoquede redes representa una vía metodológica para comprender y explicarlas estructuras sociales de las comunidades urbanas. Esta teoría se apoya en la interdependencia entre ¡as actividades humanas y los víncu-los sociales que se establecen sobre la base de las relaciones matrimoniales y de parentesco. La ciudad constituye un escenario en el cual se generan corrientes de actividad humana y los individuos se desempeñan en múltiples actividades, pero este desempeño depende en gran medida de las relaciones familiares y de parentesco. Se distinguen éstas de las interacciones de otro tipo que son efímeras o no exigen los compromisos que dictan ¡as reglas formales de convivencia cívica y del mercado. Se parte del estudio clásico de Yankee City y a través del método de random walks, que ha permitido rastrear líneas genealógicas y de ascendencia en diferentes tipos de ocupación laboral, se analizan algunas comunidades en ciudades pequeñas y de tamaño intermedio, lo que permite identificar posiciones de ciertos grupos que han influido en la vida social, económica y política de esas localidades La ciudad: corrientes de actividad y redes sociales Los métodos antropológicos de red y análisis de actividad pueden aumentar nuestro conocimiento sobre las ciudades si se ubican adecuadamente dentro de un marco integrado a una estructura mayor dentro de la ciencia social. Este artículo gira en torno a un concepto de la ciudad entendida como un sistema abierto en un campo social mayor del sistema mundial global, y explora los lazos entre los sistemas de actividad urbana y las redes sociales. Esto enriquece nuestros métodos para el estudio antropológico de ciudades con una exploración de los vínculos de red que organizan las actividades tanto dentro de las ciudades como entre estas últimas y un ámbito más amplio. En este texto se revisarán algunas dificultades que tiene el enfoque de sistema cerrado para la etnografía urbana, tal como lo caracterizan estudios clásicos, como el de Newburyport (Yankee City). Ello conduce hacia la rede¬ finición de algunos problemas clásicos de análisis. Lo que está en juego cuando la ciudad es vista como un sistema abierto, es un cambio en nuestra perspectiva de las redes sociales urbanas, especialmente del papel formativo de las redes de parentesco y matri-* Traducción Armando Castellanos. ** Universidad de California en Irvine.[303]
