网络信息时代女性居民日常活动时空特征研究——以南京市为例

THE SPATIO-TEMPORAL ACTIVITY PATTERN OF WOMEN IN THE ERA OFTHE OF NETWORK INFORMATION: A CASE STUDY OF NANJING

女性主义思潮的兴起引起了地理界及规划界对空间性别差异的关注。随着信息技术包括移动信息技术的发展渗透到居民日常生活的各个领域,女性居民日常活动时空间结构也相应地发生了变化。本文利用时间地理学的方法,对2012年南京市网络信息时代居民行为调查问卷的数据进行统计分析,借助GIS工具分别对女性居民工作日、休息日的24小时活动路径进行三维可视化显示,同时对其时空特征进行三维核密度分析。论文研究了信息技术影响下南京市女性居民日常活动的时空间特征,并分析了不同信息化水平女性居民的时空间特征分异,从而为网络信息时代的城市规划和管理提供更人性化的参考依据。

Scholars in human geography and city planning have paid attention to gender differences in terms of space with the rising of feminism. As the development of information technology, including mobile com- munication, penetrating broadly into residents＇ daily lives, the space-time structure of female residents＇ daily activities have correspondingly changed. This paper adopts a Time Geography method to analyze the spatio- temporal features of female residents＇ daily activities in the network-information era in Nanjing. The raw da- ta was collected in Nanjing from the 2012 survey for residents＇ activities in network information era, includ- ing 256 valid female samples. It contained individual attributes, living and employment options, influences of information technology on residents＇ daily activities, and activity records of the latest 24-hour workday and weekend. The study analyzed the features of theses activity distributions and mapped the path diagrams of female residents＇ activities in workday and weekend respectively by GIS. According to the female resi- dents＇ usage of information devices, three information-based levels, high, median, and low, are given to con- duct three-dimensional nuclear density analysis. The results showed that female residents spent more time on family works, housekeeping and shopping, compared with males. Because females undertook more house- work and usually had other activities during commuting, the paths of their daily activities were relatively complex. Females who are highly informationized have a smaller time-space constraint and higher quality of life than who are low; and vice versa.
