The present paper explores psychological processes that underpin the success of community change in the context of urban regeneration schemes. We adopt a social identity approach to develop an understanding of the ways in which social identity dynamics may impact upon peoples' experiences of regeneration, and what influence these identity processes have on the creation of new communities. Qualitative interviews, using thematic analysis as an analytic technique, were conducted with community members (n = 14) in a recently (2001-2011) regenerated area in the South-West of England. Three overarching themes were identified: Patterns of identification, willingness to engage, and the notion of regeneration as an event. The research overall highlights the central role of group-based identity in understanding the processes of regeneration and how this is experienced by different community members. Findings are discussed in relation to the impact regeneration schemes have on community members' sense of collective self, unity, and engagement. The research highlights the pivotal role of social identity processes in delivering successful and sustainable strategies of urban regeneration.
本文探讨了在城市更新计划背景下支撑社区变革成功的心理过程。我们采用社会认同方法来理解社会认同动态可能影响人们更新体验的方式，以及这些认同过程对新社区创建有何影响。运用主题分析作为分析技术，对英格兰西南部一个最近（2001 - 2011年）进行更新的地区的社区成员（n = 14）进行了定性访谈。确定了三个总体主题：认同模式、参与意愿以及将更新视为一个事件的概念。总体而言，该研究突出了基于群体的认同在理解更新过程以及不同社区成员如何体验这一过程中的核心作用。结合更新计划对社区成员集体自我感、团结和参与的影响对研究结果进行了讨论。该研究强调了社会认同过程在实施成功且可持续的城市更新策略中的关键作用。
