城市通勤是城市交通、城市地理和城市规划等学科的重要研究内容。我国地理学者对于城市通勤的研究始于20世纪末对居住郊区化的关注。作为理解城市空间重构和制度转型的重要视角,地理学领域的城市通勤研究在我国得到迅速发展。从研究内容、研究区域、数据来源与研究方法等四个方面对我国城市通勤研究进行了归纳和总结,并在此基础上指出了进一步研究的方向,认为应该拓展城市通勤研究区域范围、加强研究内容的深度,提升理论化成果、注重多学科方法的交叉应用,在实证主义方法研究的基础上,加强人本主义方法的运用。
Urban commuting is a main topic in the field of transportation,urban geography and urban planning.Chinese geographer began to study urban commuting when living suburbanization was paid close attention at the end of the twentieth century.As an important visual angle for understanding urban spatial reconstruction and institutional transition,the study of urban commuting is developing rapidly in the field of geography in China.From study contents,areas,methods and data acquisition,this article presented a review of urban commuting study in geography.On this basis,the article provided several study directions of urban commuting including expanding study areas,strengthening theoretical depth,interdisciplinary methods application.
