Urban spatiotemporal behavioral landscape based on space-time-human coupling:Theory and application research
The relationship between material space and human activities,shaped by their interactions,is a focus of attention in both human geography and urban planning.Research on spatiotemporal behaviors,grounded in the concept of space-time-human coupling,serves as a crucial foundation for revealing and explaining this intricate relationship.This paper systematically reviews the research progress from urban spatial structure to urban spatiotemporal structure,and ultimately to urban spatiotemporal behavior landscapes.It emphasizes the necessity of understanding cities through the lens of space-time-human coupling,advocating for the development of a theoretical and applied research framework for urban spatiotemporal behavior landscapes.Furthermore,the paper delves into the connotation,measurement,mechanisms,and effects of spatiotemporal behavior landscapes.Building on these insights,it also anticipates future research and significant application potentials.These include:firstly,further refine the theory of urban spatiotemporal behavior landscapes and,based on this foundation,develop related classical theories in human geography theoretically;secondly,deepen the methodologies for the collection,integration,and simulation of multi-source spatiotemporal data in the context of time-space-human coupling;thirdly,explore more potential applications,such as urban spatiotemporal behavior landscape planning aimed at creating livable cities,individual spatiotemporal behavior planning focused on promoting healthy lifestyles,and urban spatiotemporal collaborative governance geared towards fostering smart societies.This holistic approach underscores the importance of integrating spatial,temporal,and human factors in urban studies to address contemporary urban challenges effectively.
