  • Job-Worker Spatial Dynamics in Beijing: Insights from Smart Card Data
    Published as: Huang, Jie, Levinson, D., Wang, Jiaoe, Jin, Haitao (2019) Job-worker spatial dynamics in Beijing: Insights from Smart Card Data. Cities 86, 89-93 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cities.2018.11.021 1 Job-worker spatial dynamics in Beijing: insights from Smart 2 Card Data 3 Abstract: 4 As a megacity, Beijing has experienced traffic congestion, unaffordable housing 5 issues and jobs-housing imbalance. Recent decades have seen policies and projects 6 aiming at decentralizing urban structure and job-worker patterns, such as subway 7 network expansion, the suburbanization of housing and firms. But it is unclear 8 whether these changes produced a more balanced spatial configuration of jobs and 9 workers. To answer this question, this paper evaluated the ratio of jobs to workers 10 from Smart Card Data at the transit station level and offered a longitudinal study for 11 regular transit commuters. The method identifies the most preferred station around 12 each commuter’s workpalce and home location from individual smart datasets 13 according to their travel regularity, then the amounts of jobs and workers around each 14 station are estimated. A year-to-year evolution of job to worker ratios at the station 15 level is conducted. We classify general cases of steepening and flattening job-worker 16 dynamics, and they can be used in the study of other cities. The paper finds that (1) 17 only temporary balance appears around a few stations; (2) job-worker ratios tend to be 18 steepening rather than flattening, influencing commute patterns; (3) the polycentric 19 configuration of Beijing can be seen from the spatial pattern of job centers identified.

As the political, cultural, and international communication center of China, Beijing has witnessed a morphological transition that demonstrates typical aspects of this megacity sprawl. Though the morphological changes have been investigated by a number of scholars, emerging changes and new high resolution multi temporal global urban land data allow for a more systematic investigation that results in an evolutionary model that uncovers the urban form dynamics of megacity sprawl. In this paper, we examine the Beijing morphological evolutionary process and the geographic direction of intra-urban sprawl with the use of a new global urban land database obvious periodic sequences ranging from compact to a more loosely-shaped form but also triangular in some cases and rectangular in other cases that utilized an extensive number of LANDSAT images for five-year periods from 1980-2015.
