Spatial heterogeneity of factors affecting subjective social integration degree of migrant population:Based on the binary analysis perspective of"integration-acceptance"
The social integration of the migrant population is an important indicator of the effectiveness of the household registration system reform and new urbanization,and is of great practical significance for the implementation of high-quality population development in the new era.Based on the 2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey(CMDS)data,this study investigated the subjective social integration degree of China's migrant population from a binary analysis perspective of individual integration intention and perceived acceptance degree.It explored the spatial heterogeneity of influencing factors using the multiscale geographically weighted regression(MGWR)model.The following conclusions are drawn.1)The subjective social integration degree of the migrant population was relatively low in the southeastern coastal and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau regions and relatively high in the northern,central,and Sichuan-Chongqing regions.The spatial patterns of individual integration intention and perceived acceptance degree were similar to the subjective social integration degree of the migrant population.2)The subjective social integration of the migrant population was influenced by a combination of individual internal factors and external city factors.Individual integration intention showed a positive effect in southern and northwestern China and a negative effect in Shandong Province and surrounding areas,while perceived acceptance degree showed a global positive effect decreasing from north to south.Subjective social integration was also affected by a global gradient of age and distance of migration and a locally significant effect of gender,ethnic diversity,and economic level.The scale of spatial heterogeneity in the effects of the variables varied significantly,with spatial heterogeneity more pronounced for individual integration intention,perceived acceptance degree,and gender.3)The effect of individual integration intention on subjective social integration degree was moderated by the negative spatial moderating effects of marriage,educational level,and migration time,as well as the positive spatial moderating effect of public services.The effect of perceived acceptance degree on subjective social integration degree was moderated by the negative spatial moderating effects of age and education level as well as the positive spatial moderating effects of marriage and public services.The study revealed the spatially nonstationary mechanism of subjective social integration of the migrant population,which provides more precise and optimized policies for the governance of the migrant population in each region based on the perspective of social integration.
