A Study on the Development of a Spatial Regeneration Model Based on Local Cultural Production : Focusing on the Case of ZhuYi Village (⽵艺村) in China

This study aims to explore an alternative direction for sustainable spatial regeneration based on local cultural assets. By integrating Henri Lefebvre’s Theory of the Production of Space and cultural production theory, the study proposes a “Cultural Production-Based Spatial Regeneration Model.” Through theoretical research, the model identifies the three dimensions of space—perceived, conceived, and lived space—and analyzes the interactions between cultural agents and spatial elements. As an empirical case, the study examines ZhuYi Village (竹艺村) in Sichuan, China, where traditional bamboo crafts have been revitalized through the integration of exhibition, hands-on learning, education, and artistic practices. The collaboration among local residents, designers, and institutions has restored the village’s sense of place and cultural identity. This research views space not as a physical backdrop but as the outcome of socio-cultural practices, and aims to provide both theoretical insights and practical strategies for future place-based regeneration policies.
