“…Existing studies have shown that most rural migrants choose to live in impoverished neighborhoods in urban centers or areas bordering urban and rural areas, with very poor living conditions [ 1 – 3 ]. Recent studies revealed that stable housing can promote the long-term settlement of rural migrants in cities and towns by improving the social integration of migrants [ 4 , 5 ]. The closer the rural migrants live to the urban area and the closer they are to the living space of urban residents, the easier they are to form an urban identity [ 6 ].…”

The construction of public space is a new and important way to integrate rural migrants into urban society. Existing studies mainly discussed the factors affecting the social integration of rural migrants from the micro-individual and macro-system levels. Still, they seldom analyzed the differences between rural migrants’ residential communities and the roles these differences play in their social integration, especially from the perspective of residential space. Based on the data of the 2014 China Migrants Dynamic Monitoring Survey, this paper systematically examines the impact of residential community selection on the social integration of rural migrants and its possible effects using OLS, 2SLS, CMP, omitted variable test method, and KHB mediating effect model. It is found that the choice of residential community has a significant positive impact on the social integration of rural migrants, and the social integration of rural migrants living in formal communities has increased by 2.44%-3.20%. To overcome the potential endogeneity problems and selection bias of the empirical model, the study further adopted an instrumental variable estimation approach, combined with the omitted variable method for robustness check; the results still revealed the positive effect of living in formal communities on the social integration of rural migrants. The heterogeneous results showed that living in formal communities has a greater effect on the social integration of women and older-generation rural migrants. The farther the migration range and the longer the residence time of rural migrants, the greater the effect of living in the formal community on their social integration. Further mechanism testing revealed that living in formal communities not only directly enhances the social integration of rural migrants but also indirectly improves their social integration through public resource allocation, human capital accumulation, social status screening, and social network expansion. The indirect effect of capital accumulation is even greater. Therefore, to accelerate the full integration of rural migrants into urban society and achieve real urbanization and citizenship, the study proposes that the government should scientifically plan the layout of rural migrants’ living space and the construction of supporting facilities.

“…19,20 In past decades, China experienced one of the world's fastest urbanization and infrastructure development. 21,22 However, limited research is available exploring the modification role of various dimensions of city development in the association between hydrological conditions and dengue fever incidence. Given the increasing dengue fever incidence and the extended geographic distribution in the context of climate change, it is necessary to explore the modification of the JAMA Network Open | Environmental Health association between hydrological conditions and dengue fever incidence by multidimensional city features.…”

ImportanceDengue fever is a climate-sensitive infectious disease. However, its association with local hydrological conditions and the role of city development remain unclear.ObjectiveTo quantify the association between hydrological conditions and dengue fever incidence in China and to explore the modification role of city development in this association.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cross-sectional study collected data between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2019, from 54 cities in 4 coastal provinces in southeast China. The Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) was calculated from ambient temperature and precipitation, with SPEI thresholds of 2 for extreme wet conditions and −2 for extreme dry conditions. The SPEI–dengue fever incidence association was examined over a 6-month lag, and the modification roles of 5 city development dimensions were assessed. Data were analyzed in May 2022.ExposuresCity-level monthly temperature, precipitation, SPEI, and annual city development indicators from 2013 to 2019.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was city-level monthly dengue fever incidence. Spatiotemporal bayesian hierarchal models were used to examine the SPEI–dengue fever incidence association over a 6-month lag period. An interaction term between SPEI and each city development indicator was added into the model to assess the modification role of city development.ResultsIncluded in the analysis were 70 006 dengue fever cases reported in 54 cities in 4 provinces in China from 2013 to 2019. Overall, a U-shaped cumulative curve was observed, with wet and dry conditions both associated with increased dengue fever risk. The relative risk [RR] peaked at a 1-month lag for extreme wet conditions (1.27; 95% credible interval [CrI], 1.05-1.53) and at a 6-month lag for extreme dry conditions (1.63; 95% CrI, 1.29-2.05). The RRs of extreme wet and dry conditions were greater in areas with limited economic development, health care resources, and income per capita. Extreme dry conditions were higher and prolonged in areas with more green space per capita (RR, 1.84; 95% CrI, 1.37-2.46). Highly urbanized areas had a higher risk of dengue fever after extreme wet conditions (RR, 1.80; 95% CrI, 1.26-2.56), while less urbanized areas had the highest risk of dengue fever in extreme dry conditions (RR, 1.70; 95% CrI, 1.11-2.60).Conclusions and RelevanceResults of this study showed that extreme hydrological conditions were associated with increased dengue fever incidence within a 6-month lag period, with different dimensions of city development playing various modification roles in this association. These findings may help in developing climate change adaptation strategies and public health interventions against dengue fever.

“…In terms of social factors and human capital factors, social identity [9], social ties [10], social integration [11], and even vocational-skills training [12] all have the significant effects on the settlement intentions of migrants. Finally, some residence factors, like housing security or homeownership, also have a significant effect on the settlement intentions of migrants [13,14].…”

In the context of China’s new urbanization construction, it is crucial to deal with the issue of migrants. While land finance, as an essential means of local government financing in China over the past three decades, has made important contributions to China’s economic growth, the impact of land finance on the settlement intentions of migrants still needs to be studied. This study considered cross-sectional data containing 78,642 samples based on the 2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey 2017 (CMDS) and China Land and Resources Statistical Yearbook. In addition, a binary choice model was constructed, and the impact of the degree of land finance on the settlement intentions of migrants for the prefecture-level cities in China was empirically analyzed. With the help of the mediating- and moderating-effect models, the impact of the degree of land finance on the settlement intentions of migrants was examined from the perspectives of housing pressure, social security, and housing property rights. The results show the following: (1) The higher the degree of land finance, the lower the settlement intentions of migrants. (2) Land finance’s effect on settlement intentions is stronger for urban domiciles, low-skilled laborers, in large cities, and eastern and southern cities in these samples. (3) The higher the degree of land finance, the greater the housing pressure on the migrants, further reducing the settlement intentions of these individuals. However, social security and homeownership can reduce the negative effect of land finance on the settlement intentions of migrants. This paper provides policy implications for the construction of new urbanization and the realization of modernization.
