Reimagining functional cross-border regions in Europe through the mobilities of people
提出一个基于流动性方法和移动大数据的概念框架，利用地理定位社交媒体数据实证分析欧洲所有内部边境地区的人员流动，根据跨境流动的时间节奏区分区域类型，并重新定义功能性跨境区域的空间范围，对边境地区的政策与规划研究有参考价值。
Cross-border interactions of people contribute to the (re)production of functional cross-border regions, yet they remain underexplored. We have addressed this by proposing a conceptual framework stemming from the mobility approach and mobile big data. Using geolocated social media data as a proof-of-concept, we empirically examined people’s mobilities across all the internal border regions in Europe. We distinguished between cross-border regions by their interaction characteristics regarding temporal rhythms of cross-border mobilities, and used their spatial extent to reimagine functional cross-border regions. This approach is of benefit to research and practice for policy and planning for border regions, and to understand their territorial cohesion better.
