The impact of multi-level public service provisions on tenant group's residential segregation in mega cities:Empirical evidence from Beijing
Residential segregation is the market-oriented manifestation of unbalanced urban resources allocation.Existing literature has not paid enough attention to the residential space differentiation of tenant groups.Renting as the main residential form of migrant population and young people in large cities,its spatial differentiation reflects problems such as spatial deprivation,spatial exclusion,and the disconnect between different socioeconomic classes,which may impede equal access to public services in large cities.Taking the 10 core administrative districts of Beijing as an empirical case,this study divided public service facilities into local level and district level according to the potential service catchment area,applying the spatial lag model to analyze the impact of public service provision at each level on the residential segregation of tenant groups.The findings are:1)A significant portion of the subdistricts within the study area show significant residential segregation.2)The spatial distribution of rent price levels and the residential segregation of rental groups are significantly different.The rent price levels are distributed in a stratified circle from the center outwards,while the residential dissimilarity index for tenants(RDIT)is distributed in a sandwich-like pattern of high in the inner city-low in the middle-high in the outer parts.3)There are large differences in the impact of different levels of public service facilities on the residential segregation of renters.At the local level,negative correlations are observed between kindergarten density,accessibility to urban rail transit station and residential segregation among tenant groups.High school density exhibits a positive correlation with the residential segregation of tenant groups.In contrast,the relationship between the density of four public services(sports facility,park/urban square,medical facility,and top secondary school)at the district level and the residential segregation of the tenant groups is not significant.Drawing from the research results,this article proposed policy implications aimed at optimizing housing choices and addressing the supply and demand dynamics of public services for tenant groups,which provides a scientific basis for the rational distribution and spatial planning of urban public service facilities and rental housing.
