Abstract

Resettlement community is a kind of immigrant community which is a product of rapid urbanization in China. In these resettlement communities, although landless farmers live in the city, they lack community identity and sense of belonging, and still retain the rural living habits. Rural memory is the collective memory of rural culture and living habits. From the perspective of rural memory theory, this paper discusses the current situation and problems of resettlement communities in China, and the rural memory problems that need to be considered in the renewal and transformation of such communities. This paper takes Chun **n Yuan community in Shanghai as the research object, observes the living habits and behaviors of the residents, and understands their demands on community environment and living facilities through field research and resident interviews. Then combined with the inheritance characteristics of rural memory, this paper puts forward the strategies of community renewal and transformation from four aspects on community space, life style, community management, and social culture. Through such renewal and transformation, the landless farmers can be integrated into urban life faster, and at the same time, the rural memory can be inherited.
