| Abstract: | Residential mobility is an important issue in human geography. However, existing studies mainly focus on the pattern and determinants of residential mobility, and seldom examine the consequences or outcomes of residential mobility, especially the changes in neighborhood environment before and after residential relocation within cities. This article is based on a two-wave survey in Beijing and adopts the method of statistical tests and exploratory factor analysis to analyze the differences in neighborhood facility accessibility, walkability, location and perceived neighborhood environment before and after the relocation, and uses Binary Logistic Regression model to examine the influencing factors of the changes in neighborhood environment associated with relocation. It is found that the majority of migrants have improved their neighborhood environment after relocation, and the relevant changes are affected by life course events, housing adjustment, motivation for move, and household and individual socioeconomics. © The Author(s) 2023. |
