文章提出了从手机信令数据中获取城市之间的联系流,用以测度城镇体系等级结构的方法。首先使用手机信令数据测算城市之间的人流联系,以人流联系反映城市之间的相互作用,从联系流量、联系流向两个维度测算了城市中心性,提出了吸引量法、优势流法两种分析城镇体系等级结构的方法。其次以江西省昌九区域为案例,基于手机信令数据,分别使用吸引量法、优势流法测度了城镇体系等级结构,并与传统"位序—规模"法得出的结果进行了比较。研究结果表明,基于手机信令数据的吸引量法、优势流法能较好地分析城市中心性,有助于识别出城市人口规模不大,但在区域内城市相互作用中具有较高中心性的城市等级,这两种方法适用于城镇体系现状分析和规划实施评估。
The paper proposes the method of measuring urban system hierarchy with cellphone signaling. CeUphone signaling is used to measure connection between people and interaction between cities. Attraction flow and dominant flow methods are proposed for the measurement of urban centrality. With Nanchang-Jiujiang region as an example, the methods are used to measure the urban system hierarchy in contrast with traditional rank-size rule. The result shows that the new method can better reflect centrality of cities and recognize the rank of cities with small scale and high centrality. The methods can be used in status quo analysis and planning implementation evaluation of urban system.
