Causal impacts of multimodal network expansions on urban mobility: Evidence from a fast-growing megacity
A cross-city analysis of mobility responses to air pollution in China
We identify causal effects of air pollution on within-city mobility in China. • PM2.5 poses an average negative causal impact on within-city mobility in China. • There are substantial spatial variations underlying the PM2.5-mobility nexus. • Positive effects are observed in some cities. • The spatial heterogeneities are mainly driven by pollution and mobility levels. Understanding how air quality influences mobility patterns is crucial for effect…
Heatwaves reduce intra- and intercity human mobility in China
Existing evidence on the societal impacts of heatwaves has largely centered on human health and labor productivity. This study contributes new evidence to this body of literature by showing that heatwaves significantly reduce human mobility, a high-frequency indicator of economic activity and social interaction, in and between Chinese cities. Using a set of fixed-effects panel-regression models estimated with mobile phone-derived human mobility d…
Shared E-bikes are more resilient than shared bikes to extreme temperatures: Evidence from Citi Bike in New York City
As a form of active travel, shared bike use has been challenged by climate change, particularly by the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme temperatures. Although studies indicate that shared e-bikes have the potential to reduce the barriers to cycling, to the best of our knowledge, no studies have compared the temperature resilience of shared bikes and shared e-bikes. To address this gap, we comparatively assess the effects of temperatu…
Semantic Time Geography: Bringing Semantic Contexts to Notation System of Time Geography
Time geography is a powerful framework. It provides an elegant notation system with a series of well-defined space–time entities and relationships for representing human activity-travel behaviors under various space–time constraints. The classical time-geographical framework focuses on only the geometric 1aspect of activity-travel behaviors in the physical space but ignores semantic information about activity-travel behaviors in the hybrid cyber–…
Differences in the influence of the built environment and physical activity on obesity in urban and suburban contexts
How Distance Decay Effects Shape Accessibility of Food Provided by Online Food Delivery Services: Evidence from Two Chinese Megacities
Ensuring adequate access to healthy food is essential for public health. As a rapidly growing food access channel, online food delivery (OFD) services have gained widespread popularity globally, particularly in China. The accessibility of food through OFD retailers remains underexplored, however. This study addresses this gap by analyzing comprehensive data sets of 129,140 OFD retailers and 240,455 offline food retailers across ten categories in …

Does have-want discrepancy or have-had discrepancy explain residential satisfaction? A study of migrant workers in Wuhan, China
How Retailer Hierarchy Shapes Food Accessibility: A Case Study Using Machine Learning Method to Delineate Service Areas and Hierarchical Levels of Food Retailers
Accurate evaluation of food accessibility is the prerequisite for developing sustainable food policies. Most existing studies have evaluated food accessibility by setting a single service area size for all food retailers across a study area. In reality, service area sizes can vary significantly among different types of food retailers in different geographical regions, thus forming a retailer hierarchy. In this study, we propose a new machine lear…

Housing affordability and mental health in urban China: A cross-sectional study
The mental health implications of housing affordability have recently received research attentions in different countries. This study examines this issue in the context of urban China, where housing affordability has become one of the most pressing social issues and its health implications have aroused academic interests. We aim to enrich the literature by specifying the mental health implications of housing affordability for different population…
How do Spatiotemporally Patterned Everyday Activities Explain Variations in People’s Mental Health
Everyday activities in space and time have received much research attention in recent years. Geographers are interested in not only the spatial and temporal patterns of people's everyday activities, but also the implications of such activities for social inequality and health outcomes. This study investigates how individuals' weekday and weekend mobility and activities are associated with mental health. We argue that everyday activities play an i…

Activity Spaces and Sociospatial Segregation in Beijing
The widespread development of gated communities has generated much concern over urban fragmentation and social segregation. The social division and segregation between residents inside and outside urban enclaves exist not only in their residential spaces, but also in their values, social relations, and daily lives. In this study, it is argued that sociospatial segregation research should pay more attention to individuals' actual usage of urban sp…
Well-Being, Context, and Everyday Activities in Space and Time
Against the background of increased interest in subjectively experienced well-being in economics, psychology, and the social sciences, this article analyzes how such well-being is associated with geographical context, social contacts, and life circumstances. The empirical analysis of data collected in Hong Kong is used to elaborate and support two main claims. The first is that geography matters to not only overall well-being but also momentary w…
Housing Preferences in a Transitional Housing System: The Case of Beijing, China
For a prolonged period of time, the Chinese state had monopolised housing provision. Chinese people had virtually no choice of housing. Much has changed with the deepening of the market-oriented reform launched since 1979. A housing market, though not yet a full-fledged one, has been established. People now have greater freedom to choose their homes. More and more people buy houses from the market. There is, therefore, an urgent need for an inqui…

Tourist Behaviour and Repeat Visitation to Hong Kong
This article contributes to the growing literature on repeat visitation by investigating the relationship between tourism behaviour and repeat visitation. The data concern a sample of vacation visitors from Mainland China to Hong Kong in 1999. The study reveals that repeat visitors stay longer, take fewer activities and are involved more in local life-related activities. Furthermore, such repeat visitors spend larger sums on shopping, meals, hot…
Contributions of the Usage and Affective Experience of the Residential Environment to Residential Satisfaction
The existing literature has documented that housing conditions, neighborhood characteristics, and socioeconomics are important determinants of residential satisfaction. However, the contribution of the actual usage of the residential environment to residential satisfaction has rarely been studied. To help fill in this gap, this study examines the contribution of the usage of housing and neighborhoods as well as the affective residential experienc…

Measuring urban segregation based on individuals' daily activity patterns: A multidimensional approach
This paper develops a methodology to measure urban segregation based on individuals' sociospatial experience of daily life. Since segregation can be considered as the isolation of people from those unlike themselves, its degree increases with the similarity in ethnicity, economic status, or other sociodemographic dimensions of interest between individuals and people who they are exposed to in their daily usage of urban space. Based on this perspe…

Residential Mobility in a Changing Housing System: Guangzhou, China, 1980-2001
Based on retrospective life histories derived from a sample of 1,500 households, the present study estimates the changing rate of residential mobility in Guangzhou, China, during the period 1980-2001. The estimated mobility rate shows a rapidly rising trend and this increase remains pronounced after taking into account the cohort effect inherent in retrospective histories. Marketization of the housing provision system has brought about increased …
Residential relocation and life satisfaction change: Is there a difference between household couples
Reliable Space–Time Prisms Under Travel Time Uncertainty
Time geography is a powerful framework for analyzing human activities under various space–time constraints. At the core of time geography is the concept of the space–time prism, which delimits an individual's potential activity locations in space and time. The classical space–time prism, however, admits only deterministic travel speeds and ignores the stochastic nature of travel environments. In this article, the classical space–time prism model …

Pairwise Conjoint Analysis of Activity Engagement Choice
Information overload is a well-known problem of conjoint choice models when respondents have to evaluate a large number of attributes and/or attribute levels. In this paper we develop an alternative conjoint modelling approach, called pairwise conjoint analysis. It differs from conventional conjoint choice and preference models in that the attributes of choice alternatives or choice contexts are not varied simultaneously, but in pairs. Properties…

Measuring Bifurcation Points in Choice Behavior: Principles and Illustration
This paper suggests a new stated adaptation response format to measure bifurcation points in choice behavior. The method assumes that individuals attach bifurcation points to critical attributes beyond which they change their behavior. Fibonacci numbers are used to identify these bifurcation points efficiently. The resulting data are analyzed using hazard models. The suggested new methodology is illustrated for a sample of 335 travellers who were…
