Jobs-housing Space Distribution And Its Impacts On Commuting Behavior In Shenzhen

Living and employment are the most closely two places of urban residents’ daily life. They form the most main two anchors of urban residents in the urban space. The commuting between residence and employment is city’s main transportation behavior in daily life. Position on the spatial distribution of direct have an impact on the commuter behavior of urban residents, which affect the quality of people’s lives. With the deepening of the urbanization and the expansion of city scale, urban jobs-housing separation phenomenon is more and more serious.It led to long commute behavior which causes the urban problems such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution. So the study of urban living space distribution and its influence on residents commuting behavior is necessary. The study abroad are from the perspective of sociology and urban planning, urban space structural and institutional factors. The study domestic main towards some empirical studies of the city.Based on this research background, this paper takes Shenzhen city as the research object to study the jobs-living space distribution and its impact on residents commuting behavior. We study the jobs-housing space distribution in Shenzhen in2000 and use residents of commuting data research of Shenzhen to study residents commuting distance and the way of commuting characteristics. From the position of jobs-housing space relationship and street balance two measures to study on residents commuting behavior. The influence of commuting behaviour includes commuting distance and the way of commuting. The jobs-housing raitos and equilibrium index are used in this paper. By using spatial analysis and mathematical statistics, the method of multiple regression model is established and the logit model.Jobs-housing ratios could reflect the functional properties of streets on residents commuting behavior. The equilibrium index could reflect the influence of street self-sufficiency on residents commute behavior.On the whole, the residential streets are more than the employment of the street in Shenzhen. Inside the special zone as living space distribution of polarization,living streets mainly along the coast and inside the special zone distribution, dc dominated by employment outside the special zone. From street balance perspective,the special zone as living space distribution of polarization. Street office live balance in live uneven street, inside the special zone mainly position number is more.However, the residents attract a large number of flow commuting to work within the street. As living space for residents commuting behavior model, according to the results of improvement of post jobs-housing ratios can reduce the average commuting distance. Jobs-housing ratios increase per unit, commuting distance is shortened 0.375 km. The higher the streets’ job- housing ratios, the more employment opportunities the residents can choose. So you can avoid long commuting distance. It also can lead to walk, bicycle and motorcycle commuting mode. When equilibrium index rise, it will increase the average commuting distance.When equilibrium index increases per unit, commuting distance is shortened 0.134 km, the lower the equilibrium index, the shorter the average commuting distance. Relative to the second class, the public bus, public minibus,taxi and subway unit bus commuter bus or village, walk, bicycle and motorcycle commuting means the more people, the higher self-sufficiency the street, the more balance it is.
