Abstract

Understanding the spatial and functional characteristics of metro stations in terms of passenger mobility and built environment is imperative for the transportation system development. This study integrates streetscape visual semantics with traditional mobility and land use factors to provide a multi-dimensional characterization of metro stations. By developing a novel semantic analysis framework, this study identifies distinct clusters of Shanghai Metro stations that share similar characteristics in mobility, location, and visual semantics. The results reveals a strong alignment in the similarity among passenger mobility, land use, and streetscapes. Metro stations in the commercial and entertainment zones of the urban center exhibit a high degree of visual enclosure, activity, and diversity, maintaining high ridership throughout the day. In contrast, residential-oriented stations in suburban transfer hubs display clear commuting patterns and more balanced visual characteristics. Furthermore, our findings highlight “partially similar stations”, which, despite exhibiting similar mobility patterns, reflect heterogeneous land use configurations and streetscapes owing to variations in urban structure and development. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the spatial dynamics of metro stations and offer valuable implications for urban planning and metro management.

揭示地铁站的相似性和异质性：从乘客流动性、土地使用和街道景观语义出发

了解地铁站在乘客流动性和建筑环境方面的空间和功能特征对交通系统的发展至关重要。本研究将街景视觉语义与传统的流动性和土地使用因素相结合，对地铁站进行多维度描述。通过开发一种新颖的语义分析框架，本研究确定了在流动性、位置和视觉语义方面具有相似特征的上海地铁站群。研究结果表明，乘客流动性、土地使用和街道景观之间的相似性具有很强的一致性。位于市中心商业区和娱乐区的地铁站呈现出高度的视觉封闭性、活跃性和多样性，全天都保持着较高的乘客量。相比之下，位于郊区换乘枢纽、以住宅为导向的地铁站则显示出清晰的通勤模式和更为均衡的视觉特征。此外，我们的研究结果还强调了 "部分相似的车站"，尽管这些车站表现出相似的流动模式，但由于城市结构和发展的差异，它们反映了不同的土地利用配置和街道景观。这些发现有助于加深对地铁站空间动态的理解，并为城市规划和地铁管理提供有价值的启示。

期刊介绍： Applied Geography is a journal devoted to the publication of research which utilizes geographic approaches (human, physical, nature-society and GIScience) to resolve human problems that have a spatial dimension. These problems may be related to the assessment, management and allocation of the world physical and/or human resources. The underlying rationale of the journal is that only through a clear understanding of the relevant societal, physical, and coupled natural-humans systems can we resolve such problems. Papers are invited on any theme involving the application of geographical theory and methodology in the resolution of human problems.
