隔離是南非一種常見的社會空間形態。以空間社會學為視角,本文聚焦於後種族隔離時代南非城市的居住空間隔離及其社會意涵。自1994年社會轉型以來,南非的種族和解進程已經走過了20年的發展歷程,並在反對制度性空間隔離上取得了舉世矚目的成果。但是,在微觀社會生活領域,南非城市居住空間復制與延續了種族隔離時期的黑白分野。基於一種居住空間的剝奪、區隔與排斥,各種族之間的互動、信任與合作機制難以達成,在後種族隔離時代,通過構建共享空間來促進貧民窟的升級改造與空間秩序重構,業已成為南非實現社會秩序與種族關係良性運行的重要途徑。

Segregation is a common form of social space in South Africa. From the perspective of space sociology,this paper focuses on urban residential segregation of post-apartheid South Africa and its social implications. Since the social transformation of South Africa in 1994,the process of reconciliation has gone through 20 years,with outstanding achievements in opposing the institutional spatial segregation. However,in the micro-social life,due to residential segregation,it is difficult to achieve interaction,trust and cooperation among different ethnic groups. In the post-apartheid era,constructing a shared space to promote upgrading and reconstruction of slum space has become an important way to realize a positive operation of social order and racial relation in South Africa.
