The Impact of Workplace and Residential Built Environments on Migrants' Intended Duration of Stay:The Mediating Role of Social Comparison
摘要
Abstract
Migrant population's intention to extend their stay in host cities is a crucial metric for evaluating their multidimensional urban integration and a key determinant of the overall effectiveness of people-centered new urbanization strategies in contemporary China.While previous studies have investigated the influence of macro-level urban socio-economic characteristics and institutional factors on migration,the specific impacts of micro-level spatial configurations remain under-explored.To address this gap,this study utilizes primary survey data from the Wuhan East Lake High-tech Zone and structural equation modeling to examine the relationships among the built environments of workplaces and residences,social comparison,and migrants' intended duration of stay,focusing on the mediating role of social comparison.The results indicate that:(1)Both workplace and residential built environments exert major direct impacts on the intended duration of stay;however,the direction of these impacts exhibits prominent spatial heterogeneity and varies substantially across facility types.Around workplaces,greater access to medical services and scenic spots significantly promoted migrants' intention to stay.In contrast,higher densities of bus stops,educational institutions,and daily life service facilities reduced it.In residential areas,the density of bus stops,medical facilities,and leisure venues positively influences the intention to stay,while daily service venues and scenic spots had negative effects.(2)Among various reference groups,community peers of a similar age serve as the primary and most effective target for social comparison.Comparison with these local peers significantly stimulates competitive awareness and an internal drive for self-improvement,thereby exerting a robust and significant positive impact on long-term settlement intentions.However,comparisons with individuals in the hometown or native locals yield no significant effects on settlement decisions.(3)Social comparison acts as a vital mediating mechanism between the built environment and the intended duration of stay,accounting for 3.17％-33.46％of the total effect.This mediating pathway is primarily driven by the residential environment,rather than the workplace-built environment.(4)The impact of the built environment on the intended duration of stay displays significant group heterogeneity based on migration scope,migration experience,and intergenerational differences.Compared to intra-provincial migrants,inter-provincial migrants prioritize the quality of the residential built environment when making settlement decisions.First-time migrants are significantly more sensitive to the density of scenic spots than those with multiple migration experiences.Furthermore,older generations of the migrant population predominantly focus on the density of educational facilities during their settlement decision-making,presenting a stark contrast to the new generation.These findings refine the analytical scale of migrants' settlement intentions from macro-level urban characteristics to the micro-level spatial configurations of daily commuting and living,significantly enriching the theoretical framework of individual behavioral decisions.Practically,they provide a solid,evidence-based empirical foundation for urban planners and local policymakers to optimize the micro-spatial allocation of jobs and housing,expand the equitable coverage of basic public services,and implement differentiated service strategies tailored to the heterogeneous demands of various migrant cohorts,ultimately advancing sustainable and inclusive new urbanization.关键词
