Abstract

China's private gated community is a kind of material materialization of social public resource supply transforming from unit welfare system to market. Urban gated community is the means to separate residential space, which influences neighborhood structure, residential social interaction and identity perception, forming residential differentiation inside and outside the enclosure in social space. Based on social investigation into Shunde, Guangdong, this paper takes Country Garden Holdings in Shunde and a rural community surround it——Sangui Village as its research objects, discusses social influence of Country Garden Holdings gazed community in Shunde on local communities in the early 1990s, and analyzes social interaction and interaction mode of social groups which are close to each other geologically with different social and economic status. The research points out that under the special social and cultural background of China, gated community has internal heterogeneity and enclosure as a kind of social "filter net" can't directly guide the homogeneity process of residential space. Various population changes in China's urbanization process continuously influence interaction and identity perception among residents inside and outside the community.
