Shanghai Non-morphological Study Of Informal Employment In The Development Of Its Urban Space

As a result of transformations of economy system and social structure in china, great changes are having taken place in economic possession forms, employment system and employment models. Accordingly, urban spatial morphology, urban structure and urban valuation are silently changing. Informal employment as a research object in the dissertation exists widely while being ignored in research and practice. Through reviewing informal employment history, analyzing its reasons of appearing and developing, describing its urban spatial morphology, illuminating its influence on urban spatial function different and urban social space restructuring, the dissertation revealed component, configuration and factorial inter-actions of informal employment.

Secondly, based on surveys, the dissertation analyzes current scale, organization forms and structure characters classing two kinds of informal employees. Thirdly, applying GIS spatial analyzing technique, A series of thematic maps were created which use Shanghai district division maps and Pudong census district maps as base maps.

Civic informal employees gradually decrease from center to fringe of city.
