The roles of mobility and functional non-ubiquity in regional transport inequality
A historical review and analysis of Unesco’s gender equality in education
Since its establishment in 1945, UNESCO’s approach to gender equality in education has progressed through four key phases: legal provision for equal access to educational resources, education to enable female participation in economic development, addressing power dynamics to advance female development, and gender mainstreaming for empowerment. These shifts reflect a dynamic interaction between institutional frameworks, global priorities, and evo…
Street walkability inference with street view imagery through fine-tuning and prompting pre-trained large models
Large-scale assessment of street walkability using street view imagery is essential for supporting urban spatial governance and achieving sustainable development goals. This study proposes a walkability inference framework based on pre-trained multimodal large models, which integrates domain-specific knowledge of the hierarchy of walking needs through fine-tuning and prompt engineering. This framework consists of three sequential steps: filtratio…
Assessing the impact of urban place irreplaceability on intercity travel mode choice
Spatial Relationship of Inter-City Population Movement and Socio-Economic Determinants
In the current field of regional studies, there is a growing focus on regional spatial relationships from the perspective of functional linkages between cities. Inter-city population movement serves as an embodiment of the integrated functionality of cities within a region, and this is closely tied to the socio-economic development of urban areas. This study utilized Location-Based Services (LBSs) to collect the scale of inter-city population mov…
A longitudinal study of evolving polycentric pattern in Shanghai
In the context of technological progress and economic transition, the urban spatial structure has consistently undergone dynamic evolution. However, the trajectories of polycentric patterns display significant national and regional variations. It is crucial to examine the dynamic evolution of spatial structures within Chinese metropolitan areas amidst economic transitions. Focusing on the Shanghai Metropolitan Area (SMA), this study investigates …
Visualizing the North–South Divide of international visitors
The North–South Divide, which historically divided global national development, is now being questioned due to the rise of the Global South represented by China. We analyze the impact of this divide using global connections observed through international visitors to the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region in China. We visualized the global origins of international visitors to the YRD region and their spatial distribution within the region. The carto…
Unravelling heterogeneity and dynamics of commuting efficiency
Exploring Spatial Nonstationarity in Determinants of Intercity Commuting Flows
The increasing popularity of intercity commuting is affecting regional development and people’s lifestyles. A key approach to addressing the challenges brought about by intercity commuting is analyzing its determinants. Although spatial nonstationarity seems inevitable, or at least worth examining in spatial analysis and modeling, the global perspective was commonly employed to explore the determinants of intercity commuting flows in previous stu…
Evaluating the Effects of Built Environment on Street Vitality at the City Level
There is evidence that the built environment has an influence on street vitality. However, previous studies seldom assess the direct, indirect, and total effect of multiple environmental elements at the city level. In this study, the features of the street vitality on Xiamen Island are described based on the location-based service Big Data. Xiamen Island is the central urban area of Xiamen, one of the national central cities in China. With the he…
Assessing polycentric urban development in Shanghai, China, with detailed passive mobile phone data
Despite growing studies on the distinction between morphological and functional polycentricity, the present methods for identifying polycentricity often focus on the morphological dimension due to a lack of information about intra-urban functional flows, and are limited by the multifarious nature of people’s spatiotemporal interactions. This study proposes a new approach, examining the degree of polycentricity in Shanghai at the intra-urban level…
Understanding the compactness of employment activities in high-density cities through cellphone location data
Urban development in many cities worldwide presents a dispersed development with urban sprawl and excessive land use. Compact city development facilitates an efficient use of land that aims to reduce excessive land consumption and commuting. However, the ignorance of the relationships between land use and the compactness of employment activities has resulted in excessive commuting. The separation of jobs and housing due to functional zoning has c…
How Urban Factors Affect the Spatiotemporal Distribution of Infectious Diseases in Addition to Intercity Population Movement in China
The outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has attracted global attention. During the Chinese New Year holiday, population outflow from Wuhan induced the spread of the epidemic to other cities in China. This study analyzed massive intercity movement data from Baidu and epidemic data to study how intercity population outflows affected the spatiotemporal spread of the epidemic. This study further investigated how urban factors influenced…
