Study On The Urban Mismatch Under The Interpretation Of Residential Immobility

With the continuous progress of the domestic urbanization, a wide range of urban problems followed.Besides noise, pollution, the Separation between Jobs and residential locations as well as the growing commuting has attracted the concern of many scholars. The dramatically growing commuting in daily life is not only to blame for the cause of traffic congestion and air pollution, but can also greatly affect the quality of lives of residents in material and spiritual aspects.Summarizing the results of the domestic and foreign researches, this paper introduces the theory of "Residential Immobility", form the determination mechanism and the factor model system of the "Mismatch from Residential Immobility", and at last finish the empirical analysis according to the actual information of Hangzhou. The research investigation involves275samples. The empirical result is from the analysis of the binary Logit model by using SPSS Statistics17. From that, the main factors that significantly affect residential immobility and contribute to the mismatch result are found.The perspectives and innovative points of this paper are as follows:First, the factors of commuting, housing, and individual differences are all involved in the determination mechanism of mismatch, by which the basis and conditions are clear——mismatch occurs at the situation that residents potentially have higher housing-commuting total utility (than at present). Second, this paper argues it’s residential immobility that contributes to the result of mismatch, which means individuals or families have a certain degree of residential immobility because of several factors, thus not able to move or migrate to respond well to the changes of jobs-housing relation.The research of "Mismatch from Residential Immobility" in this paper can reflect the nature of problem in urban jobs-housing relation at present, in order to provide the basis for the related policies of urban construction. There are some defects in this paper as well. The future study can be targeted at such aspects as increasing the number of sample, optimization of the selection of the factors, and the improvement of the mechanism and empirical methods.
