Using household surveys collected in Guangzhou, China, in 2001, 2005 and 2010, excess commuting measurements are estimated. Excess commuting shows an overall trend of increasing during 1990–1999, and then declining during 2000–2010. We argue that deepening marketization of the jobs and housing sectors has induced spatial separation of jobs and housing. In other words, institutional transition and urban spatial restructuring are underpinning the changes of commuting patterns in Chinese cities. Excess commuting has strong relationship with individual socio-demographic status, which is by and large due to the increasing flexibilities of jobs and housing location choices enjoyed by urban residents. The findings call for considerations on balancing jobs-housing in making public policies relevant to urban development in general, and land use and transportation in particular.展开更多

With the rapid development of urbanization and constant advancement of suburbanization, the middle class has increasingly come to influence city traffic. Research into middle-class commuting activities thus has practical significance for improving traffic congestion and reducing the commuting burden in metropolitan cities. Based on a dataset formed by 816 completed surveys, this paper analyzes the commuting mode, time and distance of middle-class residents in Guangzhou City using the descriptive statistical method. The results indicate that private cars are the main commuting mode, followed by public transport. Meanwhile, middle-class residents mainly undertake medium-short time and medium-short distance commuting. The study subsequently uses multilevel logistic regression and multiple linear regression models to analyze the factors that influence commuting mode choice, time and distance. The gender, age, number of family cars, housing source and jobs-housing balance are the most important factors influencing commuting mode choice; housing, population density, jobs-housing balance and commuting mode significantly affect commuting time; and transport accessibility, jobs-housing balance and commuting mode are the notable factors affecting commuting distance. Finally, this paper analyzes what is affecting the commuting activities of middle-class residents and determines the differences in commuting activity characteristics and influence factors between middle-class and ordinary residents. Policy suggestions to improve urban planning and urban management are also proposed.展开更多

Examining the case ...As the transport sector is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, the effect of urbanization on transport CO2 emissions in developing cities has become a key issue under global climate change. Examining the case of Xi＇an, this paper aims to explore the spatial distribution of commuting CO2 emissions and influencing factors in the new, urban industry zones and city centers considering Xi＇an＇s transition from a monocentric to a polycentric city in the process of urbanization. Based on household survey data from 1501 respondents, there are obvious differences in commuting CO2 emissions between new industry zones and city centers： City centers feature lower household emissions of 2.86 kg CO2 per week, whereas new industry zones generally have higher household emissions of 3.20 kg CO2 per week. Contrary to previous research results, not all new industry zones have high levels of CO2 emissions; with the rapid development of various types of industries, even a minimum level of household emissions of 2.53 kg CO2 per week is possible. The uneven distribution of commuting CO2 emissions is not uniformly affected by spatial parameters such as job-housing balance, residential density, employment density, and land use diversity. Optimum combination of the spatial parameters and travel pattern along with corresponding transport infrastructure construction may be an appropriate path to reduction and control of emissions from commuting.展开更多

In this paper, we investigate the connectivity and the diameter of Г（ZnS3）. We show that Г（ZnS3） is connected if and only if n is not a prime number. If Г（ZnS3） is connected then diam（Г（ZnS3）） = 3, while ifГ（ZnS3） is disconnected then every connected component of Г（ZnS3） must be a complete graph with same size, and we completely determine the vertice set of every connected component.展开更多

This paper examines the development in the Swedish rural areas from the perspective of the ＂new rurality＂ or the new rural economic order with regard to migratory movements. The paper analyzes determinants of net migration to rural areas in general and to different types of regions, and the impacts of in-migration on rural labor markets, self-employment and other socio-economic conditions. The determinants of the migration pattern were mainly the size of adjacent local and regional centers, income and education levels that all had positive impacts, while commuting distance and unemployment rate had contrary effects. In comparison with the original inhabitants, the newcomers had lower incomes, a lower employment ratio and a lower degree of entrepreneurial activities, but higher education levels. These differences might be explained by the age differences between stayers （older） and in-migrants （younger）. This indicates that the two groups were in different stages of their life cycles. One central conclusion drawn from the paper is that the effect of in-migration on the composition of the rural population is about the same in rural areas all over Sweden.展开更多

In this study, we investigate the possibilities of rural-urban commuting to support rural development, and explore the spatial ex-tent of the working regions if jobs are concentrated in the regional centre as indicated by recent trends. Spread effects are simply operated by an economic possibility to rural-urban commuting determined by a sum of housing and commuting costs from disposable income. The results show that the population growth in city regions does not extend to distant rural areas. It, instead, leads to population losses in remote areas due to backwash effects as the low disposable incomes encourage especially low-income households to migrate from remote locations closer to the centre. The spread effects seem to work only in the limited rural areas located next to the urban core which encourages the support of remote rural areas through place-based policy.展开更多

The SOCSO （Social Security Organization） reported that the number of deaths due to commuting accidents was 760, nearly two times more than deaths caused by accidents that happened at the workplace （471 deaths）. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of socio-demographic background and the risk exposure of the drivers during their work commuting trips. The study was based on compensation claims to SOCSO where data were extracted from ＂Form 21＂ provided by SOCSO. A total of 377 respondents were selected through systematic random sampling method from a list of SOCSO claimants. It was found that majority of the traffic accidents （83%） involved males and most of them （92.2%） were on motorcycles. Male drivers have an average driving experience of 10.7 years and 8.6 years for females. The estimation of the travelled distance for the sample from home to the workplace is 0.65-131 km. Mean accident occurrence time was 23 rain whilst mean distance was 11.6 km. The multiple regression analysis showed that the accident distance was affected by the age of driver, actual travel distance, travel objective and speed.展开更多

Then the generalized non- commuting graph of subrings S, K of R, denoted by [＇S,K, is a simple graph whose vertex set is （S U K）／（CK（S） U Cs（K））, and where two distinct vertices a, b are adjacent if and only if a E S or b E S and ab ≠ ba. We determine the diameter, girth and some dominating sets for FS, K. Some connections between Fs,K and Pr（S, K） are also obtained. Further, Z-isoclinism between two pairs of finite rings is defined, and we show that the generalized non-commuting graphs of two Y_~isoclinic pairs are isomorphic under some conditions.展开更多

文摘The middle class in metropolitan Chinese cities has become an important social group. With the rapid development of urbanization and constant advancement of suburbanization, the middle class has increasingly come to influence city traffic. Research into middle-class commuting activities thus has practical significance for improving traffic congestion and reducing the commuting burden in metropolitan cities. Based on a dataset formed by 816 completed surveys, this paper analyzes the commuting mode, time and distance of middle-class residents in Guangzhou City using the descriptive statistical method. The results indicate that private cars are the main commuting mode, followed by public transport. Meanwhile, middle-class residents mainly undertake medium-short time and medium-short distance commuting. The study subsequently uses multilevel logistic regression and multiple linear regression models to analyze the factors that influence commuting mode choice, time and distance. The gender, age, number of family cars, housing source and jobs-housing balance are the most important factors influencing commuting mode choice; housing, population density, jobs-housing balance and commuting mode significantly affect commuting time; and transport accessibility, jobs-housing balance and commuting mode are the notable factors affecting commuting distance. Finally, this paper analyzes what is affecting the commuting activities of middle-class residents and determines the differences in commuting activity characteristics and influence factors between middle-class and ordinary residents. Policy suggestions to improve urban planning and urban management are also proposed.

文摘Commuting road crashes are road traffic crashes that involve workers while travelling in the course of work.The more worker travels,the higher the probability of the occurrence of commuting road crashes.The aim of this study was to determine baseline sociodemographic,employment and injury and characteristics of injured workers who survived from commuting road crash.Eligible 200 workers who were involved in commuting road crash were identified and invited to be part of this study.Sociodemographic,employment and injury-related questions were distributed to identified and consented injured workers.Majority(79.5%)of the respondents were aged 25 years old or older,male(86.0%),married or divorced(63.5%),and attained secondary and below education level at secondary or below(66.0%).Most of the injured workers consisted of blue-collar workers(69%),had fracture injury(93.0%),and had injury to their lower limbs(48.5%).A higher percentage(63.5%)of injured workers had returned to work compared to those who were still not working(36.5%)after involved in commuting road crash.Commuting road crashes are common to blue collar workers as they are more prone to use motorcycles to commute due to cheaper price compare to other type of transportation such as car.

文摘The school commuting path is an important space for elementary school students to engage with society and nature.The design of these paths reflects concerns for children's rights and healthy development and has crucial impacts on creating supportive environments for children.The scientific evaluation of the child-friendly level of school commuting paths forms a significant basis for shaping child-friendly environments and promoting the comprehensive development of children.Additionally,due to the unique climatic conditions,cold climate cities excert a distinct impact on children's behavior,activities,and physical and mental health compared to cities in other climate zones.This study,from the perspective of child-friendliness,constructs an evaluation system for school commuting paths in cold climate cities,based on children's behavioral characteristics and environmental needs.The system includes dimensions such as safety,diversity,and comfort.With children and their caregivers as the evaluators,the study applies structural equation modeling to assign weights to the various dimension indicators in the evaluation system.The research focuses on five elementary schools in the Nangang District of Harbin City,using methods such as machine learning,space syntax,and field surveys to assess the school commuting paths.Building upon these findings,the study constructs the characteristic profile of the commuting paths and proposes evidence-based control and optimization strategies for different types of school commuting paths in cold climate cities from a child-friendly perspective.

文摘In this paper,the authors completely characterize when two dual truncated Toeplitz operators ar e essentially commuting and when the semicommutator of two dual truncated Toeplitz operators is compact.Their main idea is to study dual truncated Toeplitz operators via Hankel operators,Toeplitz operators and function algebras.
文摘A model space is a subspace of the Hardy space which is invariant under the backward shift,and a truncated Toeplitz operator is the compression of a Toeplitz operator on some model space.In this paper we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the commutator of two truncated Toeplitz operators on a model space to be compact.

文摘Commuting zone research is critical to the understanding of the operational rules of the metropolitan spatial structure and improving spatial performance.This study aims to identify the main commuting centers and zones by using cellular data with Nanjing City as the example.This study analyzes the operational features of the internal spatial structures of the city from two dimensions by merging multi-source data,namely,commuting centers and zones,thus achieving an understanding of the existing problems with the urban spatial structures and their internal causes.Results showed that the commuting zones of Nanjing are distributed in a pattern of“multiple commuting centers”,with XinjiekoueHunan Road and Hongwu RoadeChaotiangongeShuangtang as the core,Mochou Lake as the main commuting area,and Dongshan and Jiangpu as the secondary commuting zones.Significant differences and similarities are discovered in our comparisons along the two dimensions of commuting zones and centers in terms of spatial structural factors,such as land use,transportation,and commuting in the city.The similarity is shown as a common declining trend in the values of all our indicators with the increase in the distance of commuting zones from the city center.However,the differences are significant in terms of the clustering features of the various parameters concerning commuting centers and zones.Specifically,four clustering patterns are discovered,namely,“monocentric clustering”,“circular monocentric clustering”,“polycentric clustering”,and“sparsely dotted distribution”.This study sheds light on the existing problems with the city’s spatial structure and proposes some overall suggestions toward urban spatial structure improvement on the basis of these findings.
文摘Let S and K be two subrings of a finite ring R. Then the generalized non- commuting graph of subrings S, K of R, denoted by [＇S,K, is a simple graph whose vertex set is （S U K）／（CK（S） U Cs（K））, and where two distinct vertices a, b are adjacent if and only if a E S or b E S and ab ≠ ba. We determine the diameter, girth and some dominating sets for FS, K. Some connections between Fs,K and Pr（S, K） are also obtained. Further, Z-isoclinism between two pairs of finite rings is defined, and we show that the generalized non-commuting graphs of two Y_~isoclinic pairs are isomorphic under some conditions.
