摘要： 熟人社会”理论虽被广泛应用，但由于一直没有相应的指标来测量，故逐渐被刻板化。本研究使用社会网络分析方法，以皖南山区自然村落的人际交往关系为分析对象，从强弱关系的视角，重新测量发现：自然村落内村民之间的网络依赖于间接连接构成；强交往关系中存在大量孤立的个体，而且整体网络断裂的风险也较高；弱交往关系中基本上不存在孤立的个体，其整体网络断裂的风险较低。在这种情况下，即使自然村落内的村民之间也难以熟知，本研究将这个社会特征概括为弱熟人社会。

Abstract: The theory of “shuren society” has been applied widely， but it has gradually become stereotyped due to the absence of indicators for measurement. This study used the method of social network analysis to recheck the strong ties and weak ties in the interpersonal interactions in a natural village in a mountainous region， South Anhui Province. It was found that the social networks among the villagers in the natural village depended upon indirect connections; that there were many isolated individuals in the networks with strong ties but with high risks of rupture in the entire network system; that isolated individuals virtually did not exist in the networks with weak ties， hence lower risk of rupture in the entire system. Under such circumstances， even living in natural villages， it was still relatively hard for the villagers to get to know one another really well. In this study， this social characteristic was conceptualized as weak shuren society.
