外来流动人口与本地人口的社会融合是构建城市和谐社会的根基。流动人口的住房与社区选择不仅关系切身福利,也是其社会融合程度的重要体现。文章基于2014年中国流动人口动态监测数据,通过构建多维度合成的社会融合指标,采用克服内生性偏误的联立方程模型,分析了社会融合对流动人口居住选择行为的影响。研究发现,社会融合对流动人口的居住选择的影响显著,即更好的社会融合会增加流动人口住房自有的概率、提高流动人口居住在正规社区的概率或增加其住房消费水平。研究结果可为改善流动人口的社会融合、优化居住资源的空间配置以及引导流动人口合理的居住选择提供依据。
The social integration between the floating population and the local residents is the foundation of constructing a harmonious urban society.The housing and community choices of floating population are affecting not only their welfare, but also social integration. Based on the dynamic monitoring data of floating population in China in 2014, this paper constructs a multi- dimension index of social integration and analyzes the influence of social integration on the residential choice of floating population by using simultaneous equation model to overcome the endogeneity bias.The results show that the influence of social integration on the residential choice of floating population is significant. To be exact, better social integration of the floating population increases the probability of their home ownership, or living in formal communities, or improves the level of their housing consumption. This paper provides a basis for the improvement of the social integration of floating population, the spatial allocation optimization of living resources, and the guidance of rational residential choice of floating population.
