粤台农业合作试验区台湾兰花技术扩散社会网络特征分析

以广东韶关粤台农业合作试验区兰花种植业为例,通过实地调研及社会网络分析方法,探讨台湾兰花技术扩散的社会网络特征。研究结果表明：① 兰花技术扩散网络呈多核心结构,台商兰场、大学与科研机构、农民合作组织等扩散主体处于网络的核心位置并有效加强了兰场间的交流与合作。② 兰花技术扩散网络的“核心-边缘”结构特征明显,其派系结构一定程度上突破了地域空间限制,在“宗族家族扩散网络”的基础上逐渐形成了“功能性扩散网络”。③ 兰花技术扩散网络的形成和变迁受试验区特殊的地域文化、各扩散主体及政府、市场等因素共同作用的驱动,符合演化经济地理学和关系经济地理学理论,存在一定“路径依赖”的同时,亦实现了“路径创新”。

Characteristics of social network of Taiwan′s orchid technology diffusion in Guangdong-Taiwan agricultural cooperative pilot zone in Shaoguan city,Guangdong province

The level of agricultural technology of Taiwan, China is higher than that of Chinese mainland to a certain extent. Taking orchid planting in Guangdong-Taiwan agricultural cooperative pilot zone in Shaoguan city, Guangdong province as an example, this paper discusses the characteristics of social network of Taiwan’s orchid technology diffusion through the ways of field research and social network analysis. The research results show that: (1) The diffusion network of orchid technology in Guangdong-Taiwan agricultural cooperative pilot zone has a multi-core structure, and the main diffusion bodies, such as Taiwan's orchid farms, universities and scientific research institutions, farmers’ cooperative organizations (such as orchid association and orchid professional cooperative), are at the core of the diffusion network of orchid technology, which strengthens the exchange and cooperation between orchid farms in the test area, and plays a very important role in the process of orchid technology diffusion. (2) The “core-edge” characteristic of orchid technology diffusion network in the test area is obvious (there is close relationship between enterprises in the core area, while there are less relationships between enterprises in the peripheral area, and the relationship between enterprises in the core area and enterprises in the peripheral area), the faction structure between orchid enterprises in the test area breaks through the limitation of regional space to some extent, and gradually forms the “functional diffusion network” on the basis of “clan and family diffusion network”, and functional diffusion network plays an increasingly important role in the process of orchid technology diffusion, while the function of clan and family diffusion network is becoming weaker and weaker. (3) The formation and transformation of orchid technology diffusion network in the experimental area is driven by the special regional culture, various diffusion subjects, government, market and other factors, which conforms to the theory of evolutionary economic geography and relational economic geography, and has the effect of “path dependence”; at the same time, the diffusion network of orchid technology in the test area realized “path innovation”. To accelerate the development of orchid industry, reasonable development policies of orchid industry should be formulated in the experimental area according to the characteristics of the orchid technology diffusion network.
