The residential population of an area is incomplete measure the number people that are momentarily present in area, and limited value as indicator exposure to risk crime. By accounting for mobility population, measures ambient better reflect momentary presence people. They have therefore become alternative This study considers heterogeneity by distinguishing residents, employees visitors different categories, explores their differential impact on thefts, both weekdays weekends. We analyze...

The segregation–crime relationship is a classic topic in sociology and crime geography, yet existing literature mainly focuses on the impact of racial segregation at global scale. Little known about local other socioeconomic characteristics such as education level, an important factor for racially homogenous countries like China. Also unknown their beyond residential domain. Using Baidu Map Location-Based Service population data set court records 863 geographic units central urban area...

Abstract This study examines the temporal changes in income segregation within ambient population around clock using mobile phone big data. It employs ordinal entropy, a metric suited for measuring among ordered groups, to quantify level of eight groups micro-geographic units throughout 24-h period on weekday and weekend day urban core Guangzhou, China. The further decomposes daily by location time profile. We identify functions neighborhood contexts relevant explore their variation. Using...

Parental support increasingly influences young people's housing outcomes. Using OLS models, this study examines the relative effects of parental and own socioeconomic status political resources on homeowners' quality their temporal dynamics in Beijing, China. We find that market transition theory has explanatory power for both generations. However, parents outweighs homeowners influencing multifaceted qualities. These qualities are also positively associated with parents', but negatively...

Abstract There is a growing body of literature on the effects escalator regions intergenerational social mobility (ISM) migrants. Nevertheless, role migrant origins in migration outcomes remain neglected. To address this gap, study attempts to investigate whether migrants' birthplaces continue have an impact after they move and mechanism impact. Using data from 2010, 2013, 2015 Chinese General Social Survey, our findings suggest that effect ISM varies according size their birthplace....

Abstract Background It remains unknown whether good neighbourhood perception can enhance the benefits of favourable built environment to physical activity. Moreover, moderation pattern is less understood in developing countries. Objectives This work aims examine effects perceived safety and aesthetics on relationship between time for recreational walking. Methods We performed examination using a sample 760 residents Fuzhou City, China. The Negative Binomial Regression Model was developed...

Objectives Although the social disorganization tradition emphasizes role of neighborhood context in shaping delinquent behaviors and crime, researchers have rarely considered influence on criminals’ decision where to offend. This study explicitly examines how concentrated disadvantage both origin destination neighborhoods structures burglars’ preference for street physical disorder spatial familiarity.Methods We measure observed perceived from 107,858 view images using computer vision...

Using novel Internet search data from Baidu Index, this study examines for the first time nationwide distribution of city-level intensity online suicidal ideation in China and underlying social determinants processes. We find that shows moderate spatial clustering, decreasing east to west nationally developed less areas within each province. Overall, socioeconomic inequality, fragmentation as represented by single-generation households religiosity, proportion older adults are positively...

Neighborhood Context Shapes Effects of Physical Disorder and Spatial Knowledge on Burglars’ Location Choice: A Multi-Source ApproachABSTRACTObjectives Although the social disorganization tradition emphasizes role neighborhood context in shaping delinquent behaviors crime, researchers have rarely considered influence criminals’ decision where to offend. This study explicitly examines how concentrated disadvantage both origin destination neighborhoods structures burglars’ preference for street...

To advance the interpretability of machine learning for long-term crime prediction in China, we compared performance multiple algorithms predicting spatial pattern theft Beijing. Gradient boosting decision tree emerged as algorithm with best predictive accuracy. After identifying importance criminogenic features, extended interpreter SHAP to reveal nonlinear and spatially heterogeneous associations between environmental features summarized six relation types such at global scale. At local...

China is generally considered a safe place: among the safest for foreigners to visit. For local (long-term) residents and Chinese criminology scholars, as country its individual cities might be safer compared many of their foreign peers; however, they not some travel agents claim. To show why this case, we crawled geovisualized 2015–2016 crime records ( n = 24,803) available public online. The geovisualization shows that seven crimes 12,516) were most likely influenced by space in Beijing...
