城中村非正规空间是在社会需求的驱动下，自发形成的社会经济活动的空间嵌合体。揭示城中村非正规空间演化及其内在规律，可以为其治理和改造提供方向及策略。在分析城中村非正规空间自组织特征的基础上，以苏州沈巷村为例，根据空间组织主体，将城中村非正规空间的自组织演化划分为“个体导向的自创生”“关系导向的自扩张”“社会资本导向的自进化”3个阶段，剖析城中村非正规空间自组织演化的时空特征和演化机制。研究发现：1）在城中村非正规空间的自组织演化中，空间组织主体由“村内人”向“乡内人”和“圈内人”扩展。城中村非正规空间演化与重构，既是城中村社会关系网络拓展的外在表征，又是社会关系网络变迁的结果。2）在城中村非正规空间自组织演化过程中，从“自创生”阶段的血缘到“自进化”阶段的地缘和业缘，关系网络自始至终发挥着强化信任和凝聚共识等重要作用。3）需要尊重城中村自组织逻辑，采用自下而上的协商行动，有效推进城中村非正规空间的治理。

Informal spaces in urban villages represent a spatial chimera of socio-economic activities arising from driving social demands. Investigating the evolution and inherent rules of such spaces can provide direction and strategies for good governance. This study analyzes the process and outcomes of the self-organized evolution of informal spaces by considering their self-organizational characteristics. Herein, the Shenxiang village, which is a typical mature urban village in Suzhou, was considered as an example. We adopted qualitative research methods, such as questionnaire surveys and semi-structured interviews. The agglomeration and formation of informal spaces in Shenxiang is the consequence of self-organized evolution. This can be attributed to the interaction of internal and external environments, which is influenced by the socio-cultural concepts of local villagers and relationships among external groups. Based on the main body of spatial organization, the self-organized evolution of informal spaces in urban villages was divided into the following stages: "individual-oriented self-creation," "relationship-oriented self-expansion," and "social capital-oriented self-evolution." Furthermore, the spatio-temporal characteristics and self-organizational-evolution mechanisms of these informal spaces were analyzed at each stage. The findings are as follows: (1) During the evolution of informal spaces, the main body of spatial organization expands from "village people" to "rural people" and "insiders." This is the consequence of self-organized evolution between villagers and alien groups. In urban villages, the evolution and reconstruction of informal spaces is caused by the expansion and variation in social relations. (2) During the self-organization and evolution of informal spaces, the relationship network is crucial in strengthening trust and building consensus, spanning blood relationships in the "self-creation" stage and geographical and industrial relationships in the "self-evolution" stage. The informal spatial self-organization of urban villages relies on the sub-social structure constructed by the original relationship network, which perpetuates the consensual regional culture, conceptual consciousness, and living habits, and enhances the cohesiveness and centripetal force of self-organization. This study aimed to gain deeper insights into informal spaces in urban villages, formulate a theoretical framework for their governance, and analyze the order and rules of internal self-organization. We believe that such informal spaces are self-balanced and relatively independent informal economies that facilitate a symbiotic relationship between local villagers and external groups. The transformation and optimization of informal spaces in urban villages is a potential challenge. The guiding approach for optimization promotes the following: forming informal space communities in urban villages, respecting and stimulating their self-organization order, adhering to the mutual unity principle of self-organization and external organizations, combining the external impetus and internal development capabilities of the system, and adopting bottom-up consultation actions to balance the group interest more efficiently. To promote the governance of informal spaces in urban villages, it is crucial to adhere to the logic and rules of their self-organization.
