中文摘要：

家被认为是具有保护性和排他性的私人空间,是个人寻求归属感和安全感的场所。但由于东西方文化差异,家的意义以及家庭关系的重要性存在着明显差异。基于活动—移动行为分析,以家空间利用和家庭关系为突破点,讨论由传统文化价值观及社会经济发展水平影响的社会人际交往模式的不同。实证研究部分基于中国北京和荷兰乌特勒支在2007年进行的活动日志调查,围绕＂谁会被允许进入家空间＂的问题,将活动空间划分为＂自己家—他人家—公共空间＂三个层次,分析活动同伴对见面地点选择的影响。结果表明,北京居民通常在家会见亲属,而在公共场所会见朋友;乌特勒支居民对亲属和朋友共同活动地点选择并没有明显差异。这与中国较强的家庭观念以及家庭保护意识相一致。活动地点的选择也受到性别、家庭结构等社会经济属性的影响。进而讨论了中国传统家庭观念对中西方和谐社会建设及老龄社会保障等的现实意义。

英文摘要：

Home is supposed to be an exclusive and private space, which provides the feelings of belonging and security to individuals. However, due to social and cul~ral differences between the East and West, the meaning of the home and of family relations might be different. This paper investigates the choice of meeting places in Beijing, and uses the counterpart results from Utrecht （the Netherlands） as references. The empirical study is based on activity diary surveys collected in 2007 in these two cities. Only non-work activities without space-time fixity have been analyzed. We classify the activity places into three categories （own home, others＇ home and public urban places） to see who will visit private home and who will be assigned to meet in urban public space. The methods are based on descriptive analysis and multi-nominal model estimations. It is shown that Beijing people meet family members at home and non-family members in public space, while there are no clear differences accompanied by families or friends at home or in public space. This suggests that the family belief in Beijing is stronger, and home in Beijing seems to be more private and exclusive. Furthermore, we explore how the socio-demographics, family structure and companion influence the choice of meeting places. Some implications and policy recommendations on harmonious society and public involvement are also discussed.
