基于手机信令数据的广州市居民公园访问行为空间分异及其影响因素分析

加快推进城市公园建设是实现人与自然和谐共生的重要抓手。既有研究大多基于问卷调查数据和访谈资料分析城市居民的公园访问行为空间分异特征,研究结论的普适性和科学性有限。手机信令数据具有大样本、覆盖范围广、信息被动提供和动态实时性强等优点。利用手机信令数据精准刻画城市居民的公园访问行为,有助于开展城市公园的布局优化与品质提升工作。基于个体尺度的手机信令数据,本研究试图揭示广州市居民公园访问行为的空间分异特征并识别其影响因素,尤其关注城区居民和郊区居民的差别。结果表明:(1)城区居民的公园访问频率、公园访问时长和公园访问强度均高于郊区居民,前者的公园平均访问距离低于后者;(2)公园访问频率、公园访问强度、公园平均逗留时间和公园平均访问距离呈现高值集聚区/低值集聚区在城区连片分布,在郊区零星分布的空间特征;(3)公园访问行为受性别、年龄、时空约束性、社会经济地位、公园可达性、社区出行便利性和出行适宜性等因素的共同影响。本研究为相关政府部门精准开展城市公园的规划、建设与管理工作提供决策参考。

USERS′ PERCEPTION OF KOWLOON PARK, HONG KONG:VISITING PATTERNS AND SCENIC ASPECTS

Hong Kong is a hyper-dense city with 7x10(6) people living in an area of 1100km(2). One way to improve the livability of compacted and congested cities like Hong Kong is through the provision of urban parks, an aspect that has largely been under-researched. This study focuses on how users perceive and utilize various facilities in the Kowloon Park. The findings revealed that the Kowloon Park is one of the most preferred parks in Hong Kong for both local residents and tourists. Users were quite satisfied with the park's facilities. Notably, the most important component of an urban park is its greenery. This is followed by water elements, seating places, and facilities for various recreational activities. The improvements users would like to see in urban parks include good design and management, meeting users' needs, overcoming barriers to use, and providing a high quality and varied experience for different groups in the community. The findings of this study provide a good basis to address park management issues from the users' perspective. In particular, parks should provide easy access, encourage optimum usage and enable complimentary improvements to the environment.

The 2015 Migratory Crisis:The Disillusion of Visiting Rights

What has really happened in Europe since 2014?Why in 2018 are so many migrants still making their way towards Europe?For the first time since the Second World War,an important number of individuals have entered into European soil.The idea for this article goes back to October 2015 when the prefet from the town where I live went in search of asylum seekers.This is what sparked off my inquiry amongst about 50 exiles housed in the annex of the Montmorency(95)hospital in July 2015.But against popular belief,migrants are not accepted fairly into countries,and the geographical distribution of Syrians in Turkey,Lebanon,Jordan,and Europe is contrary to what Kant had defended as a“right to visit”.Although the majority of researchers suggest welcoming migrants,it is necessary to reconsider some methodological and epistemological aspects and get away from some wrongly perceived concepts which dated prior to the year 2000.Yet,the Arab Spring has showed that we are dealing with unfinished post-colonialism,something that we will soon come back to in another article where we will propose another solution.
