  • 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.

  • Analysis and Evaluation of the Beijing Metro Project Financing Reforms
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 291 International Conference on Management, Economics, Education, Arts and Humanities (MEEAH 2018) Analysis and Evaluation of the Beijing Metro Project Financing Reforms Haibin Zhao1,a, Bingjie Ren2,b, Ting Wang3,c 1Ministry of Transport Research Institute, Chaoyang, Beijing, China,100029; 2Beijing Urban Construction Design & Development Group Co., Limited, Xicheng, Beijing, China,100037; 3School of Civil Engineering, Beijing Jiaotong University, Haidian, Beijing, China, 100044. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: metro; financing; marketisation; reform Abstract. The construction and operation of a metro system are costly, and the sustainable development of a metro system is difficult using government funding alone, particularly for developing countries. The main source for metro system financing in China is, currently, government budget and bank debt. Many cities have begun to seek new ways to attract funds from finance markets, which is increasing the need for the evaluation of metro financing. This study uses Beijing as a case study that utilises various financing modes with impressive results. As participants of the financing reform, the authors collected all the relative government documents and interviewed stakeholders to accomplish this work. This article reviews the development of financing modes for the Beijing Metro system during the last four decades and analyses the role of the government in the reformed financing system within the Chinese social political environment. The study addresses the advantages and challenges of the reforms in this context. To further analyses the technical processes of typical financing modes, the public-private partnership mode of Line 4, the BT mode of Olympic Branch Line, the insurance claim mode of Line 10 and the failure of the market oriented financing for Capital Airport Line are analysed and evaluated in detail.

Since the mid 2000s, the growth of rapid transit systems in Chinese cities has rapidly accelerated, with most of the world's new subway mileage in the past decade opening in China. The length of light rail and metro will be extended by 40 percent in the next two years, and Rapid Growth tripled by 2020 From 2009 to 2015, China built 87 mass transit rail lines, totaling 3100 km, in 25 cities at the cost of ¥988.6 billion. In 2017, some 43 smaller third-tier cities in China, have received approval to develop subway lines. By 2018, China will carry out 103 projects and build 2,000 km of new urban rail lines.

Specifically, 1,204,000 is approximately the number of boardings per contract area a winter's day in Stockholm. Since the capacity and frequency of the metro service are already quite good in this city, this thesis does not focus on improve that. Its aim is to know the assessment made by metro users of the crowding produced during rush hour. This evaluation is performed by two questionnaires, one shorter that is carried out on board and one longer, online. But before starting with the surveys, this work introduces some general information about public transport in Stockholm and it distinguishes capacity and crowding concepts. Any human behavior begins with the attitudes and perceptions that people show to any particular aspect, from which and through their preferences, they define their behavior acting in one way or another. And once they have made their decision and have chosen to use a service, they will be able to evaluate it by their satisfaction level.

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.
