Progress and prospect of research on urban sociospatial segrega-tion:Integration of behavioral perspective and theme transition
In the context of increasing geographical mobility,there has been a significant shift in the perspectives and measurement methods employed in urban sociospatial segregation research.Additionally,the imperatives of contemporary social development,which emphasize promoting social equity and enhancing people's well-being,have put forward novel practical requirements for the research of urban sociospatial segregation,as well as its underlying influencing mechanism and social effects.This study adopted an approach integrating quantitative analysis based on CiteSpace and qualitative analysis,to provide a comprehensive review of the evolutionary trends and thematic shifts in urban sociospatial segregation research since 2000.Over the years,the research of urban sociospatial segregation has consistently embraced the perspective of space-time behaviors.The focus of research has broadened from the sole dimension of residential space to multidimensional analysis of space-time behaviors gradually.And it has shifted from a static examination of spatial features to a dynamic exploration of space-time characteristics.In terms of its measurement indices,the advent of multi-source data,such as space-time behavioral big data,has facilitated the diversification of indices and methods continuously.There is a growing trend to shift the focus from space-based to people-based measurements,which is evident in recent research endeavors.Furthermore,the scope and depth of the research content has expanded significantly.It has moved beyond the study of measurements and feature description,to exploring the intricate mechanism which shapes sociospatial segregation and probing into its multifaceted social effects.Starting from the dimensions of space,time,and activity,certain studies reveal the influencing mechanism of urban sociospatial segregation.And several studies explore its extensive social effects in combination with themes such as resources accessibility,environmental health,crime,social integration,and subjective well-being.However,it is worth acknowledging that,there remains considerable room for further refinement and improvement.Current studies necessitate a heightened emphasis on the perspective of space-time integration,as it is helpful to address the complexities of sociospatial segregation.Future research ought to delve deeper into the influencing mechanism and social effects grounded in the consideration of space-time behaviors.Moreover,it is imperative to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and integration across various disciplines and paradigms.
