HOUSING TENURE DEMAND OF URBAN MIGRANT POPULATION IN CHINA BASED ON THE COMBINATION OF WILLINGNESS AND ABILITY:DIFFERENCES AMONG 285 CITIESAND INTERACTION EFFECTS OF CITIESAND INDIVIDUALS
Based on the China Migrants Dynamic Survey and city data,this paper specifies the diversified housing tenure demands of the migrant population by taking both their willingness and ability to purchase housing into account.The spatial patterns among 285 cities are explored,and the influencing factors at both city-and individual-levels as well as their interaction effects are investigated.The results show that the housing tenure demands of the migrant population show a significant spatial differentiation.Migrants in the southeastern coastal urban agglomerations have strong demands for housing leasing.Migrants in the Loess Plateau and southwestern regions have strong needs for homeownership but lack the ability to afford it.Both city-and individual-level factors have impacts on the housing tenure demands of the migrant population.The migrants in economically developed cities cities have higher demands for rental housing,while those in cities with better public services have higher demands for homeownership.The willingness to settle down,being married,family migration,and unstable employment contribute to the demand for homeownership.The role of individual-level actors such as the migration across provinces and that between urban and rural areas,age,and employment status,varies with the differentiation of city-level factors.The research results deepen and expand the understanding of migrant population's housing demand and provide a basis for rationally solving the housing issues of the new citizens.
