交通可达性对居住地选择的影响--以成都市为例

为了解新型城镇化战略下大城市中心区居民外迁至卫星城时的居住地选择行为特征及偏好，选取卫星城居住地周边学校、医院、商业设施、轨道交通车站及到中心区交通可达性作为主要变量。根据家庭成员组成特征将样本家庭划分为5类，对比分析不同家庭居住地选择行为特征及偏好。结合家庭社会经济属性形成了一套包含8种情景的正交设计组合问卷，对成都市中心区居民进行意愿调查，并建立Logit模型对居住地选择行为进行分析。结果表明，学校、医院等主要服务设施的交通可达性及家庭自身属性均对中心区居民外迁行为存在显著影响，同时定量分析各变量对居民选择外迁意愿的影响程度，最后提出有助于中心区人口疏解到卫星城的交通政策和措施建议。     

城市化进程中农民工与公共文化服务体系构建研究

文章从农民工的文化困境及权益保障出发,探讨了公共文化服务体系建设对促进农民工城市融入的意义与作用,以期为进一步提高我国城市化水平提供理论基础。     

城乡公交一体化与新型城镇化关系初探

随着我目农村经济和社会的发展以及新型城镇化战略的实施,农村中大量劳动力向城市或者非农领域转移,从而带来客流量的与日俱增。目前既有的公交管理体制不能适应城乡未来发展的需要,城乡公交一体化应运而生。城乡公交一体化建设与新型城镇化建设两者之间存在着密切的关系。     

快速城市化地区公路网规划方法研究

随着城乡经济快速增长,城市化水平显著提高,城市化与公路交通的耦合问题更加突出。本文以苏南快速城市化地区——张家港市为例,突破传统区域路网规划思路的限制,结合城市路网规划的思想、方法和评价指标体系。提出了新的区域路网规划思路,着重探讨了规划的预测、路网布局、断面、节点处理问题,在路网性能和运行质量等方面取得了积极的效果。     

The impact of urban characteristics and residents’ income on commuting in China

This study examined the relationship between urban characteristics and residents’ commuting behaviour using sample survey data from 106 cities in China. We found that the average commuting time of high-income groups is significantly longer than that of low-income groups. The increasing urbanization rate leads to an increase in commuting time and more residents using public transport for commuting. The increase in the urban population density is expected to increase the commuting time and the possibility of commuting using non-motorised modes. Different urban characteristics have different effects on the commuting patterns of residents within different income groups. The increased urbanization rate promotes the use of motorised modes for commuting in the high-income group, and shortens the commuting time of the low-income group. We also found that population density and neighbourhood-level factors have a greater impact on the commuting time of the low-income group compared to the high-income group. We suggest China’s urban planners should place emphasis on the commuting requirements of the low-income group by China’s urban planners.     

Low carbon urban transport scenarios for China and India: A comparative assessment

This paper assesses comparable urban transport scenarios for China and India. The assessment methodology uses AIM/End-use model with a detailed characterization of technologies to analyze two scenarios for India and China till the year 2050. The first scenario assumes continuation and enhancement, in both countries, of policies under a typical business-as-usual dynamics, like constructing metros, implementing national fuel economy standards, promoting alternate fuel vehicles and implementing national air quality standards. The alternative, low carbon scenario assumes application, in both countries, of globally envisaged measures like fuel economy standards as well as imposition of carbon price derived from a global integrated assessment modeling exercise aiming to achieve global 2 °C temperature stabilization target. The modeling results for both countries show that decarbonizing transport sector shall need a wide array of measures including fuel economy, low carbon fuel mix including low carbon electricity supply. The comparison of China and India results provides important insights and lessons from their similarities and differences in the choice of urban transport options. India can benefit from China’s experiences as it lags China in urbanization and income. Modeling assessments show that both nations can contribute to, as well as benefit by aligning their transport plans with global climate stabilization regime.
