学生化作为绅士化现象的一种类型,是高等教育规模扩张背景下学生群体对于城市空间进行重构的现象。起因于学生群体的居住偏好,以及投资者与房屋所有者的寻租行为,面向学生群体的居住空间开始产生并聚集,形成独特的学生化社区,并由此产生一系列的社会,经济与文化影响。基于对学生化现象相关研究的综述,本文对于广州市中山大学邻近的下渡村学生化现象进行实证研究,阐明其空间分布特征、形成原因、及其经济、社会与文化影响。进而阐释了中西方学生化现象的异同。学生化现象的研究对理解当今中国城市快速重构的复杂机制有着一定理论意义;同时在高等教育规模不断扩大的背景下,亦有其实践层面的意义。

英文摘要：

Studentification is a newly emerged form of gentrification.It refers to a particular type of urban spatial and residential restructuring under the context of higher education expansion,particularly in the UK.Through the production of residential spaces by rent-seekers such as private investors and landlords catering to the specific lifestyle and cultural identity of university students,the residential pattern of students is transformed into a high-degree geographical concentration across several areas in the city.These student residential areas are often in the form of HMO（House in Multiple Occupation）,equipped with cultural and retail services,such as theme bars,restaurants,and recreational facilities.The influx of students into local neighborhoods has given rise to residential displacement and a series of social,economic and cultural consequences. This paper starts with a literature review on the concepts,causes,social impacts and mutations of the process of studentification,which are mainly drawn from case studies in the UK and Australia.In the second half of this paper,we present a line of empirical evidence based on our research on Xiadu Village,a studentified urban village close to the main campus of Sun Yat-Sen University,Guangzhou.Our findings suggest that the studentifcation process in Xiadu Village shares similarities with western experiences,while demonstrating clear incongruence.These similarities and differences between the west and China are summarized in four aspects： economic,social,economic and physical landscapes.The differences also lie in the prospects of studentification and its connection with other forms of gentrification.China’s studentification process seems to prolong after students graduate from university,and this unique experience rarely transforms into or has influence on other forms of gentrification.We also points out that the research on studentification would be instrumental to understand the complex dynamics of China’s rapid urban transformation.Meanwhile,in the light
