Evolution Characteristics and Regional Roles’ Influencing Factors of Interprovincial Population Mobility Network in China

Abstract

This paper analyses the evolutionary characteristics of the interprovincial population mobility network structure in China and explores the roles of provinces from 2010 to 2015. By constructing the interprovincial population mobility network, we examine the provinces’ functions during periods of population mobility through population mobility diversity, population mobility, and population mobility intermediation. The results show that the coverage and tightness of the interprovincial population mobility network were influenced by national economic development, increasing steadily from 2010 to 2014 and then suddenly falling in 2015. The regions that played essential roles in the province’s mobility diversity and intermediation showed a dispersion trend. In contrast, areas that played a vital role in the inflows or outflows were relatively concentrated and stable. Additionally, this work further explores how economic factors, e.g., GDP, residents’ consumption levels, total population, unemployment rate, and consumer price index, are used as independent variables to analyse the provinces’ roles in the interprovincial population mobility network. The analysis shows that the inflow or outflow volumes are easily affected by the five indices. These five indices are significantly related to network role indicators to different extents.

Temporal-Spatial Evolution and Trend Prediction of the Supply Efficiency of Primary Medical Health Service—An Empirical Study Based on Central and Western Regions of China

“…Compared with the western region, the central region is more developed in industry, agriculture, and service industry. These developed industries attract the population of the western region to migrate [62]. With the progress of population migration, the central region needs to continuously adjust its medical health industry to support the normal medical needs of the floating population and ensure the basic medical health service of the people in region.…”

Study on the temporal and spatial trend of viral hepatitis in China from 2007 to 2019

“…According (17). Second, the transmission routes of hepatitis virus are complex, the hepatitis viruses are highly contagious, and thus the viruses are di cult to be blocked(18).…”

The influence of cross-regional medical treatment on total medical expenses, medical insurance payments, and out-of-pocket expenses of patients with malignant tumors in Chinese low-income areas

“…The independent variable of this study was the basic attribute of cross-regional medical regions, which was divided into economic levels and geographical distances from the insured region (divided into three grades based on the nationwide rankings), which are the deep-seated factors affecting population mobility and medical level [44,45]. Since the database contains little personal information about patients in addition to the above expense information, age (divided into the elderly and non-elderly) and insurance type (divided into urban workers and urban and rural residents) which were known to have a greater impact on the dependent variable were selected as control variables in this study [46,47].…”

“…This survey found that the number of cross-regional medical patients in regions with high economic level accounted for more than 60% of the total sample, and nearly 60% of the short-distance cross-regional medical treatment occurred in areas with high economic level (Table 1). This is because higher economic levels often mean higher income, more employment opportunities, and better medical conditions, which can attract more floating population (unable to obtain household register) and out-of-town patients [37,44,59]. However, for patients with malignant tumors, such regions were more likely to form higher total medical expenses and lower actual medical insurance payment levels, thus increasing the possibility of becoming the group with high out-ofpocket expenses (Table 2).…”
