This paper described the theoretical preparation and practical prospects for shrinking with dignity, based on the findings of our research project "Shrinking Strategy with Dignity for Rehabilitation and Revitalization of Community". First, the paper outlined the debate surrounding the shrinking population and the case studies of community rehabilitation and revitalization as background for dignified shrinkage, and then introduced the basic concepts of shrinkage and dignity for research and practice of shrinking with dignity. Next, as issues to be considered for promoting dignified shrinkage research and practice, the expansion of the target area, regional diagnosis, the process and time of the disappearance of communities, models on which dignified shrinkage relies, and the development of tools in the field of practice were discussed and theoretically prepared. Finally, the paper looked at the challenges of action research to accompany shrinking with dignity, and confirms the necessity of a folk approach inspired by Mingei movement.
