Abstract

Effective governance is an important basis for the realization of the national rural revitalization strategy, and the institution is the basic element affecting the protection and governance of traditional villages. Using historical data collection, field investigation, in-depth interview and other research methods, based on the perspective of institutional change theory, this paper discusses the internal relationship between institutional change and governance change of traditional villages, and analyzes the evolution characteristics and spatial governance effects of "institutional change-governance change" stage of traditional villages. The results show that: 1) The protection practice of traditional villages in Suzhou has experienced a stage of institutional change characterized by "unidirectional conduction—bidirectional parallel—bidirectional mutual feeding", and evolved in turn according to the governance logic of "unidirectional autonomy—dual co-governance—multiple co-governance". 2)Under the action path of "institutional change-governance change", the spatial governance of traditional villages in Suzhou is advanced according to the logical value of "spatial resource protection—spatial environment remediation—spatial function renewal". 3) We should focus on promoting the bilateral integration of formal and informal institutions, the transformation of flexible co-governance model and the institutional innovation of multi-subject collaborative governance, so as to realize the great governance of traditional villages under the strategic goal of rural revitalization.
