【内容提要】边境乡村过疏化问题是指乡村人口持续流失导致村落社会生活、生产、公共性与文化价值系统性衰退的过程与状态。本研究从新内生发展理论视角出发，通过对安镇老年群体社会资本培育过程的分析，总结了边境过疏化乡村公共性危机的主要特征，揭示了当前治理实践中存在的资源统筹无序、治理主体错位与社会场域原子化等问题。依托地方特色资源赋能、社会组织再造与社区认同重构，可以有效促进老年群体社会资本的再生，实现边境乡村社会联结机制的创新与社会活力的重塑。本研究不仅为理解边境过疏化乡村的社会治理提供了经验样本，也为探索老龄化与过疏化叠加地区的可持续发展路径提供了理论参考与实践启示。

The Cultivation Dilemmas and Practical Paths of Elderly Social Capital in Depopulated Border Villages: Based on Field Research in Town An, Jilin Province

Abstract: The issue of sparse population in border villages means that due to the continuous loss of rural residents, the social life, production, public aspects, and cultural values in these villages are declining systematically. This paper analyzes the practice of cultivating elderly social capital in Town An from the perspective of neo-endogenous development theory. It summarizes the manifestations of depopulation and public crisis in border villages in Northeast China.The study finds that the main challenges faced by depopulated border villages currently include disordered resource integration, misalignment of governance subjects, and atomization of the governance field. Efforts such as empowering through characteristic resources, reconstructing social organizations, and rebuilding social identity can effectively unleash the efficacy of the left-behind elderly as the main actors in rural revitalization. This study can serve as a new case for social governance and a theoretical and practical path for the integrated development of internal and external resources in depopulated border villages.
