Here, using data from China as an exploratory case, this study develops a novel measure of housing precarity based on the 2019 Guangzhou Migrant Housing Survey dataset. This study combines five dwelling-based aspects of precarity: perceived tenure security, housing affordability, housing quality, access to public services, and commuting. This study observes a negative association between housing precarity and life satisfaction among migrant private renters. Moreover, spatial heterogeneity could act as a moderating variable, strengthening the negative association between housing precarity and life satisfaction. This study advances the importance of considering the housing precarity concept in understanding the life satisfaction of migrant private renters. More importantly, this study wants to amplify the voices of migrant workers in the private rented sector, as they are the most likely to suffer from housing precarity in destination cities but are not salient in academic and policy debates on housing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48396,"journal":{"name":"Applied Geography","volume":"179 ","pages":"Article 103616"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143785782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach has faced criticism, primarily due to its ecological implications. In response, a niche market has developed around so-called ‘natural’ or ‘low-intervention’ wines, emphasizing environmentally conscious production methods, resulting in a distinctive product. In a qualitative research approach, we explore the alternative practices which reflect the winemaker's care for soil and plant health, support microorganisms in the must, and preserve the wine's ingrediencies. Through practices like no-till, soil fertilization, and spontaneous fermentation, low-intervention winemakers aspire to stop soil degradation, regenerate their plants' microbiome and respect the grape's indigenous fermentation capacity, allowing in-situ yeasts to do their job and craft an individual wine flavour. Our article proposes a framework to explore these practices and the underlying philosophy, where the observed processes and winemaker's attitudes reflect an approach of ‘co-producing with nature’, which we explore by adopting conceptual ideas from more-than-human geographies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48396,"journal":{"name":"Applied Geography","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 103610"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143761034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study introduces a hospital-city nexus framework highlighting hospitals as crucial infrastructure for urban development, and incorporates open big data and statistical data to examine the interactive relationship between hospital clustering and urban structures across 36 major Chinese cities. The study identifies prevalent hospital clustering in China, characterized by specific morphology, land use, and institutional composition. Higher hospital clustering occurs in cities with low financial capacity, low per capita income, and advanced medical technologies. Land use and locational attributes are key factors in hospital clustering, while transport services play a lesser role. Hospital clustering is positively associated with nearby housing values, but the relationship with population density and aging are diverse. Highlighting the hospital-city nexus, this study enhances the supply-side understanding of the uneven spatial distribution of hospitals, informing relevant healthcare policy and urban planning.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48396,"journal":{"name":"Applied Geography","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 103607"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143739190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although recent studies have identified factors contributing to the variability of daily activity spatial fixity, there is a dearth of longitudinal observations to understand its evolution over extended timeframes. Addressing this research gap, the study introduces a framework that integrates multi-scale individual behaviors to investigate the long-term evolution of peoples daily activity spatial fixity, offering insights from a life course perspective. Using mobile phone data of 290,679 individuals across different age groups, the study assessed changes in their activity patterns from October 2019 to October 2020 and from October 2019 to May 2023. Three major findings were derived from Difference-in-Difference modeling and behavior grouping: (1) Individual daily activity spatial fixity exhibit a U-shaped distribution with age, revealing the 30–34 age group with the lowest fixity. Consistent levels of spatial fixity are observed as time progresses and individuals transition into specific age stages. (2) The multi-scale behavior framework elucidates over 40 % of the variation in daily activity spatial fixity over one and four-year intervals, and the result highlights the significance of integrating higher-scale behavioral dynamics over extended period. (3) Distinct behavioral change trends before and after the age of 35 result in the U-shaped curve of spatial fixity evolution. The study advances our comprehension of the long-term dynamics of human mobility. The findings provide valuable insights for enhancing individual behavior modeling, addressing delays in demographic data collection, and informing targeted social policies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48396,"journal":{"name":"Applied Geography","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 103609"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143739194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By employing a random forest model, we join the job-versus-amenity debate on human capital migration by investigating the relative importance of economic factors and amenities. The findings demonstrate that overseas returnees are predominantly clustered in eastern cities, particularly Beijing and Shanghai, forming a “dual-core and multi-center” pattern. Economic factors, such as the average annual wage and the average house prices, are the primary determinants influencing the choices of employment city for returnees. Urban amenities, particularly consumer and cultural facilities, and social atmosphere, also contribute to attracting returnees. These factors exhibit threshold effects, exerting significant influence only beyond specific values. Furthermore, the effect of amenities is largely confined to cities with higher average annual wages.

Addressing this limitation, we propose a multi-view, multi-modal Spatio-Temporal Graph Neural Network (STGNN) framework that integrates dynamic pollution data with static urban environmental semantics to improve predictive performance and interpretability. By embedding static features, such as Points of Interest (POIs), into the graph structure and leveraging a self-attention mechanism, our model captures complex spatial dependencies and temporal dynamics. Furthermore, an integrated Explainer module enhances transparency by revealing the spatial and feature-level influences driving air quality predictions. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach not only achieves superior predictive accuracy compared to benchmark models but also provides actionable insights into the relationships between urban features and air quality.
