改革开放以来中国社会调查的进展

1979年中国恢复社会学研究以来,社会学研究者面对中国社会的巨变,进行了大量深入细致的社会调查,试图通过调查探寻中国社会转型时期的社会事实,从而分析社会的运行机制,甚至参与社会的建构。这些调查取得了丰硕的成果,成为社会学恢复以来重要的学术积累,是社会学"中国经验"的一个重要的组成部分。对二十多年来中国的社会调查进行一些回溯,反思四分之一世纪以来中国社会调查所走过的道路,探讨社会调查在中国发展的特点、问题与趋势是十分必要的。

Retrospect of China's Social Survey since 1980

China resumed sociological Survey in 1979 and since then has undergone tremendous social changes. In order to explore the social facts and analyse their working mechanism in social transformation, Chinese sociologists have not only done a great number of deep and painstaking social investigations but even participated in social construction. The great achievements of these investigations have become precious academic accumulation and an important part of sociological "Chinese experience" since the reestablishment of sociology in China. The paper is trying to recall the history of more than twenty year's social research in China, and to ponder over the path it went though for quarter century as well as its features, problems and trend.
