Characteristics and influencing factors of Airbnb spatial distribution in China's rapid urbanization process: A case study of Nanjing.

ABSTRACT: As in other countries, short-term rentals for tourism services are growing rapidly in China's tourist cities, which are mainly operated through Airbnb. This paper explores whether the spatial distribution of Airbnb in China's rapid urbanization process exhibits characteristics, paths, and drivers that are different from those of cities in other countries. Airbnb is a model for the global sharing economy, but it is increasingly influenced by other functions and facilities in cities as it grows. In this paper, the zero-expansion negative binomial regression was used to study the factors affecting the spatial distribution of Airbnb in Nanjing, China. The results showed that the spatial distribution of Airbnb listings was correlated with the distribution of cultural attractions, universities, public transport accessibility, shopping centers, and business apartments. By analyzing the driving forces of Airbnb's development in Nanjing, this paper found that a large number of business apartments developed in cities were essential providers of Airbnb listings, and affected its spatial distribution. The gap between short-term and long-term rentals was also correlated with the distribution of Airbnb. In addition, similar to the previous literature findings, the increase in the proportion of professional hosts changes the original intention of Airbnb for sharing and communication. Our empirical results applies to the current situation of Airbnb in Chinese cities, which is conducive to the government's more intelligent management and effective promotion of the Airbnb market. Our findings also provide positive references for urban renewal policies and public participation methods in China.

Project description:BackgroundPopulation movement could extend multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) transmission and complicate its global prevalence. We sought to identify the high-risk populations and geographic sites of MDR-TB transmission in Shenzhen, the most common destination for internal migrants in China.MethodsWe performed a population-based, retrospective study in patients diagnosed with MDR-TB in Shenzhen during 2013-2017. By defining genomic clusters with a threshold of 12-single-nucleotide polymorphism distance based on whole-genome sequencing of their clinical strains, the clustering rate was calculated to evaluate the level of recent transmission. Risk factors were identified by multivariable logistic regression. To further delineate the epidemiological links, we invited the genomic-clustered patients to an in-depth social network investigation.ResultsIn total, 105 (25.2%) of the 417 enrolled patients with MDR-TB were grouped into 40 genome clusters, suggesting recent transmission of MDR strains. The adjusted risk for student to have a clustered strain was 4.05 (95% confidence interval, 1.06-17.0) times greater than other patients. The majority (70%, 28/40) of the genomic clusters involved patients who lived in different districts, with residences separated by an average of 8.76 kilometers. Other than household members, confirmed epidemiological links were also identified among classmates and workplace colleagues.ConclusionsThese findings demonstrate that local transmission of MDR-TB is a serious problem in Shenzhen. While most transmission occurred between people who lived distant from each other, there was clear evidence that transmission occurred in schools and workplaces, which should be included as targeted sites for active case finding.The average residential distance between genomic-clustered cases was more than 8 kilometers, while schools and workplaces, identified as sites of transmission in this study, deserve increased vigilance for targeted case finding of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

Project description:China's "plain-mountain transition zone" (hereinafter referred to as the "transition zone") has experienced rapid and diverse urbanization processes. Assessing the dynamic characteristics of urbanization is particularly important for sustainable development of the transition zone. Nighttime light (NTL) data have been widely used to monitor urbanization. Based on the prolonged artificial nighttime-light dataset of China (PANDA) from 1984 to 2020, we partitioned the nighttime light of the study area into four types (low, medium, high, and extremely high) by adjusting the threshold of the brightness gradient (BG) method. The spatiotemporal characteristics of urbanization in 426 districts and counties of 71 prefecture-level cities in the transition zone were analyzed. Our results indicated that the middle region of the transition zone (Yanshan Mountains and Taihang Mountains) experienced the fastest urbanization development, and the urban expansion speed broke through the topographic limitation of the plain-mountain. However, the rapid development of urbanization in the middle plains resulted in the nighttime lighting area (NTLA) tending to become saturated, which caused an unsustainable potential crisis in urban development in this area. Urbanization was mainly manifested in the transition of the low nighttime lighting type (NTLT) to the medium NTLT or higher NTLT. The northern region of the transition zone (Greater Khingan Mountains) experienced the slowest urbanization development, with the lowest nighttime lighting density (NTLD) in the northern mountainous area, where the urbanization was mainly manifested by the expansion of the low NTLT. The urbanization development of the southern region in the transition zone (Wushan and Xuefeng Mountains) was at a medium level, and the urbanization of the plain in the southern region was also better than that of the mountainous area. Urbanization was mainly manifested in the expansion of the low NTLT, supplemented by the transition from the low NTLT to high NTLT. Whether in the north, middle, or south of the transition zone, the plain-mountain topographic variations caused a gap in urbanization, making the urbanization development of the mountains and plains unbalanced.

Project description:Digital technology innovation is the core driving force for the high-quality development of the digital economy, and in-depth exploration of the regional distribution pattern and formation mechanism of digital technology innovation in China is conducive to the rational layout and coordinated development of the inter-provincial digital economy. Based on the Reference Relationship Table of the Classification of Core Industries of Digital Economy and the International Patent Classification (2023), the patent authorization data of digital technology from 2012 to 2022 were obtained, and the spatiotemporal situation of China's digital technology innovation was analyzed by using ArcGIS software, Dagum's Gini coefficient, and Moran's I index, and the spatial Dubin panel model was used to explore the influencing factors of digital technology innovation. It is found that: (1) the scale and vitality of China's digital technology innovation have increased significantly, and there are obvious spatial differentiation characteristics, and the innovation level of "eastern coastal-central and western interior" is decreasing, forming a cluster distribution pattern in the Yangtze River Delta region, Beijing, Guangdong, and other places, and the degree of agglomeration is decreasing. (2) The overall regional differences in China's digital technology innovation are large, the differences between the East and the West dominate the interregional differences, and the net differences between regions are the main factors leading to regional differences. (3) There is a significant positive spatial correlation between the scale and vitality of digital technology innovation, which has a significant spatial spillover effect. (4) The results confirm that the level of economic development, digital access, financial scientific and technological support, technology market development level, and R&D intensity have a significant positive impact on the scale and vitality of digital technology innovation; The investment in scientific and technological talents has a significant positive impact on the scale of digital technology innovation, but has no significant impact on the vitality of digital technology innovation.
