Abstract

With rapidly development of urbanization, a large number of Muslim migrants, as one of special groups, swarm into cities, whether they adapt to cities has caused wide concerns. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the general law of multi-dimensional adaptation of Muslim migrants and provide guidance for better serving and managing this group. Based on survey or information of migrant Muslims in some important areas of Lanzhou city, This paper discusses some aspects about adaptation of migrant Muslims such as environmental, economic, social, cultural and psychology, respectively, by the following analysis methods: by Summers dy coefficient, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, Principal component factors. It draws several key conclusions about adaptation of Muslim migrants to Lanzhou city for better serving and managing them. The study found that in terms of environmental adaptation, the distance between the source of Muslim migrants and Lanzhou City and their urban adaptability showed a strong correlation; while the relationship between traffic conditions, recreational facilities and their urban adaptation was not obvious; In terms of economic adaptation, the economic income of Muslim migrants has a strong correlation with its urban adaptability; In terms of social adaptation, as time goes by, Muslim migrants gradually adapt to the their urban lifestyle; The psychological adaptation of Muslim migrants can be summarized as "self-identity" and "urban belonging". They showed a more obvious adaptability in the "self" understanding, but strong non-adaptation in the "identity" and "city sense of belonging”.
