摘要
A study on job-housing spatial dissonance can provide a better understanding of the attitudes and preferences of individuals toward job-housing separation and inform policymakers to formulate policies that take a more realistic account of commuters'needs and desires. In this study, job-housing spatial dissonance is measured by the mismatch level between ideal and actual commuting time. With Kunming in China as a case study, the descriptive statistics show that most commuters perceive their job-housing locations to be dissonant. In particular, 41.04% of commuters have suffered from severe spatial dissonance. Furthermore, the determinants of job-housing spatial dissonance are identified based on an ordered Logistic model. Results show that travel mode, housing location, age, education level, and presence of children have a significant impact on the job-housing spatial dissonance. At the same time, we find that longer commuting time does not always indicate greater job-housing spatial dissonance because the attitude and preference toward commuting time are heterogeneous at the individual level.
