城市交通消散期事故高峰现象及成因

学界对于交通事故高峰出现在交通高峰期还是之后的消散期存在争论,以惠州市中心城区为例,对城市交通事故进行研究,判别交通消散期事故高峰现象的存在性。以交通事故空间点数据为研究对象,使用核心密度估算法,分析交通事故的结构性特征和时空分布特征,并针对三个交通消散期研究其事故的具体特征及其成因。研究表明:惠州市中心城区交通消散期存在事故高峰现象,主要发生在上午和下午;机动车在交通事故中占主导地位;临近商业设施的交通消散期事故高峰现象最为明显;支路事故在晚间交通消散期后段出现了事故高峰;从上午到晚上,交通事故黑点从交通相关设施转移到商业设施。交通消散期事故高峰现象的形成与居民集中在交通消散期的非通勤交通行为、特定路段的小时交通量高峰出现在交通消散期,以及交通消散期内松懈的交通管制和驾驶行为等有一定的关系。     

建成环境对北京市郊区居民工作日汽车出行的影响

郊区化导致的汽车出行增加及相关的城市环境与社会问题日益成为城市研究关注的焦点,但目前国内对建成环境与汽车出行行为的研究刚刚起步。基于GPS与活动日志相结合的居民一周活动与出行数据,利用GIS空间分析分别以居住地、工作地和活动空间作为地理背景,分析建成环境对于郊区居民汽车出行距离的影响因素。研究发现,建成环境对工作日汽车出行的影响因地理背景的选择而有不同。整日出行受到工作地和活动空间的影响,工作地与活动空间建设密度增高汽车出行减少,但是居住空间的影响不显著;通勤出行受到居住地、工作地和活动空间的影响,居住地商业密度提高和建设密度降低、工作地和活动空间建设密度提高,汽车出行减少;非工作活动出行也受到居住地、工作地和活动空间的影响,居住地、工作地和活动空间的公交密度低、工作地和活动空间建设密度高,汽车出行少。基于研究结果,本文对地理背景不确定性问题进行了探讨,提出出行行为的研究需要考虑居住地以外其他地理背景的影响,并对控制汽车使用的公共政策提出了建议。     

基于土地开发强度的长春市城市空间效率分异研究

以地块容积率和建筑密度为基础数据,从土地开发强度这一微观视角出发,针对长春市建成区圈层式快速发展的现实,运用替代原理和竞租理论分析长春市中心城区1 460个地块的土地开发强度的分布特征,并采用核密度估计法对城市空间扩展过程中的低效地块和“超效”地块进行判断,总结分异特征和原因。研究发现：长春市土地开发强度的分布不符合替代原理,地块容积率的分布总体呈现“高-低-高”的环状分布特征;长春市城市空间结构组织总体上符合竞租理论,公共服务设施对传统竞租函数及其空间结构组织模式具有很大的影响;长春市在城市空间扩展过程中,低效与“超效”并存;商业用地和居住用地是低效地块和“超效”地块的主要用地类型,以商业、居住、娱乐、休闲、办公为一体的城市商业综合体建设或许可在一定程度上缓解该矛盾。     

西宁市居民工作日和休息日时空活动差异研究

以手机信令数据为数据源,研究西宁市居民在工作日和休息日的时空活动差异及POI设施空间分布对居民活动差异的影响。结果表明:1)西宁市为单中心空间结构,居民在工作日集中分布在市中心区域,而在休息日的分布较分散;2)在休息日,商业和交通设施对居民活动产生积极影响,居住用地在早上对居民活动产生较强的积极影响(下午影响强度减弱),工业用地和公共用地在大部分时段对居民活动强度产生消极影响;3)在工作日,商业设施对居民活动的影响明显减弱,居住用地仅在晚上和凌晨对居民活动产生积极影响,而白天大部分时段出现消极影响,工业用地和公共用地在白天大部分时段会促进居民停留。研究结果有助于明确工作日和休息日居民在城市空间的时空活动差异及影响机制,可为城市出行空间和基础设施规划提供参考。     

长春市公共服务设施用地演变格局与机制

公共服务设施用地是城市功能用地的主要组成部分,公共服务设施用地的集聚与扩散可以更直接地揭示城市空间结构与城市中心地的演变特征。本文以长春市中心城区为研究范围,利用城市用地现状图、地形图等数据资源,借助GIS软件,采用核密度、斑块聚合度指数等方法,分析了长春市2003-2013年公共服务设施用地演变特征与机制。研究发现：公共服务设施用地规模增速低于城市建成区的增速;公共服务设施用地演变特征的圈层差异明显;公共服务设施用地空间结构从“单一化核心+多次级中心”到“多样化核心+多次级中心”,空间格局从“大分散、小集中”到“大集中、小分散”;城市不同公共服务设施用地类型表现出不同的演变特征;城市公共服务设施用地演变机制为城市功能空间的整体提升、城市功能空间的互动耦合、土地利用的市场竞争、交通设施与网络的完善、城市规划的引导与调控、城市大事件的快速推动。     

多中心空间结构对城市地价影响研究

城市地价的飞速上涨和成本提高,对企业选址、个人购房带来越来越重要的影响,城市多中心发展能否有效抑制地价亟待实证检验。基于2008年和2013年全国285个地级及以上城市的微观土地出让数据,分析城市空间结构对地价的影响。研究发现：① 多中心空间结构能有效抑制城市过高地价,但会显著提升城市低段地价和城市整体平均地价;② 城市多中心空间结构对商住用地地价提升作用显著,但对工业用地作用不显著;③ 反映土地需求的城市人口密度对于城市综合地价具有显著提高作用,增加人均建设用地面积能有效降低城市综合地价,土地等级和出让方式等地块特征因素对交易地价影响也十分重要。因此,地方政府引导城市多中心化发展既能提供给企业、个人更多的用地选择,有效缓解城市主中心地价过高问题,也能推动城市次中心建设,促进城市均衡发展。     

煤炭资源型城市空间结构演化过程、模式及影响因素——基于淮南市的实证研究

以淮南市为案例,结合历次城市规划用地现状资料,利用GIS软件,动态追踪了淮南城市空间结构时空演化进程。结果表明:作为煤炭资源型城市,淮南城市空间形态较为分散,正逐步填充向紧凑布局演化;内部空间以工业用地、居住用地、商业及公共设施用地的增长为主,空间重构现象自20世纪80年代开始逐步加强,并以居住用地取代工业用地和商业及公共设施用地取代居住用地两种形式为主。在不同生命周期阶段,煤炭资源型城市空间扩展模式不同:发生期以城矿共生扩张模式为主,成长期以厂兴镇、联厂成镇、延伸扩展模式为主,中兴期以后多通过新区扩张模式来实现空间结构演化,自组织扩展模式贯穿煤炭资源型城市发展始终。最后分析了资源、自然环境、交通、产业结构以及城市规划等主要因素对煤炭资源型城市外部形态和内部空间结构演化的影响及作用机理。     

基于POI的土地利用与轨道交通客流的空间特征

城市轨道交通及其沿线土地一体化发展是城市可持续发展的关键问题。提高城市轨道交通可持续性和土地资源配置合理性的关键需掌握轨道交通客流与土地功能之间的依赖关系,而回归分析是研究二者关系的主要方法。既有研究对于土地利用的描述多基于用地面积等概略数据,难以揭示各类属性的用地对客流的影响机理及其空间效应。采用百度地图POI数据以刻画用地信息,提出城市轨道交通车站吸引范围内用地功能的细粒度描述方法,基于全局常参数和局部变参数的回归模型研究车站早高峰出站客流与粗细粒度土地利用的相互依赖关系及其空间效应。针对北京地铁的案例研究表明：车站出站客流与不同功能用地及POI的依赖程度和空间特征存在显著差异。早高峰出站客流更多地受到与就业通勤相关的商业服务业设施用地、公共管理与公共服务用地的影响。在细粒度层面上,出站客流对写字楼和政府机构的依赖性更大,二者显著分布在就业岗位密集的中心城区功能分区和城市核心区。基于细粒度POI的局部变参数模型能较好地识别各类土地利用对车站客流的影响及其空间异质性,案例研究表明车站客流与土地利用的依赖关系是各类属性功能用地影响及其空间效应的叠加。     

职住建成环境对郊区居民通勤方式的影响

郊区化带来的职住空间分离与机动化出行问题受到了城市地理与城市规划界的广泛关注。汽车依赖已经成为大城市郊区空间发展过程中面临的现实问题,如何减少汽车通勤比例、鼓励公共交通和非机动化通勤,已经成为城市交通可持续发展的重要目标。基于城市兴趣点数据（POI）与2017年上海市郊区居民活动日志调查数据,通过多项logit模型分析了居民居住地与工作地周边建成环境对通勤方式的影响,并建立中介效应模型探讨长距离通勤对通勤方式产生的间接效应。研究发现提升居住地的地铁站可达性、土地混合利用程度,控制居住地和工作地的设施密度等措施有利于减少汽车出行,而建成环境特征差异对通勤方式的影响要大于对通勤距离的影响。通勤距离对通勤方式选择具有显著的中介效应,对于步行和自行车通勤的影响最为明显。社区环境的提升应从增加设施多样性和公共交通可达性,营造良好的步行、骑行环境等方面来促进居民的绿色通勤行为。     

企业员工通勤活动的时间弹性和空间弹性对出发时间选择的影响——以上海市闵行区为例

弹性通勤逐渐成为城市经济、城市地理学的研究热点,弹性工作时间在政策文件和企业管理中被频繁提及。国内对企业员工通勤出发时间选择的研究较少考虑活动因素。立足于上海市交通拥挤与职住失衡的背景,以闵行区企业员工为研究对象,借鉴多项logit模型分析通勤活动的时间和空间弹性对企业员工出发时间选择的影响。结论如下:(1)员工早晚通勤出发时刻集中在高峰时段,与晚通勤相比,早通勤出发时间的选择更集中于高峰前和高峰中。(2)个人社会经济特征、城市建成环境特征、通勤时空特征对员工通勤的出发时间选择产生影响。(3)对于控制变量,年龄和收入因素制约了早通勤出发时间选择;工作地在郊区或商业可达性较差的员工,更不倾向于早高峰前出行;公交可达性较差的,则不倾向于晚高峰后出行。(4)工作地弹性、出发时间弹性、驻停时间及驻停地弹性等均对早通勤出发时间选择产生显著影响。仅出发时间弹性和到达时间弹性对晚通勤出发时间选择产生显著影响。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.

THE MOST PERFECT EXAMPLE OF AN ALIEN ECOLOGY EVER CONSTRUCTED

Much science-fiction literature is based upon the creation and exploration of alternative environments. Stanley G. Weinbaum's short story, “Parasite Planet,”introduces an unusual environment that may be wrong in the light of recent evidence on Venus but still stimulates the geographical imagination.
