互联网使用如何影响居民社区融入?——基于“中国城市居民生活空间调查”的分析

How does Internet Use Affect the Community Integration of Residents:Analysis Based on Chinese Urban Residents’ Living Space Survey

基于"中国城市居民生活空间调查"京津冀数据,本文从网络社会空间分化与整合的视角,探讨了互联网使用对居民社区融入的影响及作用机制。研究发现,互联网使用在社区情感认同、邻里交往参与和公共事务参与三个方面对居民社区融入产生着积极影响。中介效应分析表明,互联网使用主要通过在线社区交往、社区信息传播和线上线下转化三种中间机制发挥作用,进而促进了居民的社区融入。不同互联网行为对社区融入的影响具有异质性,交往行为促进了居民的社区情感认同、邻里交往和公共事务参与,信息行为对邻里交往的影响则不显著。本文旨在说明互联网在关系、媒介和空间维度上为居民与社区的连接提供了渠道,并揭示了其影响机制,对于理解网络化背景下的交往行为与网络社会空间整合模式具有积极意义。

Based on Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Dataset of the Chinese Urban Residents’ Living Space Survey, this paper explores the impact of Internet use on the community integration of residents and the intermediary mechanism from the perspective of the differentiation and integration of the Internet social space.This paper finds: firstly, Internet use has a positive impact on the community integration of residents in three aspects: community emotional identity, neighborhood interaction, and public affairs participation;secondly, the analysis of the mediation effect shows that Internet use mainly works through three kinds of intermediary mechanisms: online community interaction, community information dissemination, and online and offline transformation, which promotes the community integration of residents. The influence of different Internet behaviors on community integration is heterogeneous. Communication behaviors promote residents’ community emotional identity, neighborhood interaction, and public affairs participation. In contrast, information behaviors have no significant impact on neighborhood interaction. This paper aims to illustrate that the Internet provides connection channels for the integration of residential communities in the dimensions of relationship, media, and space, and reveals its influence mechanism,which has positive significance for understanding the interaction behavior and the spatial integration mode in the network society.
