Socio-spatial segregation and human mobility: A review of empirical evidence
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Social segregation, the spatial and social separation between individuals
from different backgrounds, can affect sustainable urban development and social
cohesion. The literature has traditionally focused on residential segregation,
examining how individuals' residential locations are distributed differently
across neighborhoods based on income, ethnicity, and education. However, this
approach overlooks the complexity of spatial segregation because daily
activities often extend far beyond residential areas. Over the past one to two
decades, emerging mobility data sources have enabled a new understanding of
socio-spatial segregation by considering daily activities such as work, school,
shopping, and leisure visits. From traditional surveys to GPS trajectories,
diverse data sources reveal that day-to-day movements can impact segregation by
reducing or amplifying segregation levels obtained when considering residential
aspects alone. This literature review focuses on three critical questions: (a)
to what extent do individual mobility patterns contribute to segregation? (b)
Which factors explain the role played by mobility in segregation? and (c) What
insights are gained by incorporating extensive mobility data into segregation
research? Our literature review contributes to an improved understanding of
socio-spatial segregation at the individual level and offers actionable
insights into reducing segregation and addressing research gaps in the field.
