时空间行为研究动态及其实践应用前景

Review for Space-time Behavior Research:Theory Frontiers and Application in the Future

随着国内外时空间行为研究的数据采集、计算挖掘、三维可视化与时空模拟等理论与技术的不断革新,时空间行为研究日益呈现出研究数据多源化、研究方法科学化、研究对象个体化、研究主题应用化等趋势。海外的时空间行为研究在结构化理论、GIS以及其他社会科学领域中得到广泛的理论应用,中国的时空间行为研究经历了时间地理学的引入与描述性统计、城市空间与时空间行为的互动机理研究、基于位置感知设备的数据采集与规划应用等3个阶段,正在步入实践应用的重要时期。时空间行为研究在城市规划、社会管理、居民服务等领域具有广泛的应用前景。

In the last decades, great advances have been made in data collection, mining, geo-computerization, 3Ds visualization and space-time simulation and others aspects. Owingto these technological improvements, we are embracing a new research stage that data are increasingly multi-sourced, methods scientific, objects micro- cosmic and practical. In other countries, space-time research has exerted widespread influences on the theory of structuration, GIS and other social sciences. In China, followed by about 20 years＇ introduction and innovation, especially study on the interactive mechanism between urban space and space-time behavior, and explorative re- al-time data collection experiments using LBS, solid foundations have been laid to further our research towards application. We believe that space-time behavior studies have great potential application in urban planning, so- cial governance, citizen services and other domains.
