Abstract

Current research on public spaces and mental health often focuses on the independent relationship of one or more social mediators, neglecting the nuanced implications and serial mechanisms inherent in the progressive social process. Using Wuhan city, China, as a study case with multi-source data, this research applies Multilevel Generalized Structural Equation Modeling and deep learning techniques to explore the differential effects of public spaces with varying degrees of publicness (i.e., typical, semi-, and privately owned) on rural migrants’ mental health. Crucially, this study scrutinizes both explicit (social interaction) and implicit (perceived integration) social mechanisms to revisit the relationships. The findings reveal that not all public spaces equally influence mental health, with typical and privately owned public spaces conferring profound benefits. Notably, public spaces impact mental health chiefly through perceived integration instead of through direct social interaction. Social interaction improves mental health primarily by enhancing perceived integration, suggesting that meaningful connections beyond superficial encounters are critical. In particular, we observed significant social effects in typical and privately owned public spaces but limited social functionality in semi-public spaces. This evidence contributes to the knowledge required to create supportive social environments within public spaces, integral to nurturing inclusive urban development.

重新审视公共空间对武汉农村流动人口心理健康的影响:多源数据综合分析
目前有关公共空间与心理健康的研究往往只关注一个或多个社会中介因素的独立关系,而忽视了社会进步过程中的细微影响和内在串联机制。本研究以中国武汉市为研究案例,运用多源数据,运用多层次广义结构方程模型和深度学习技术,探讨不同公共程度的公共空间(即典型、半公共和私有)对农村流动人口心理健康的不同影响。最重要的是,本研究对显性(社会互动)和隐性(感知融合)社会机制进行了仔细研究,以重新审视两者之间的关系。研究结果表明,并非所有的公共空间都能平等地影响心理健康,典型的公共空间和私人拥有的公共空间都能带来深远的益处。值得注意的是,公共空间对心理健康的影响主要是通过感知到的融合,而不是通过直接的社会互动。社交互动主要是通过增强感知到的融合来改善心理健康,这表明除了表面的接触之外,有意义的联系也是至关重要的。特别是,我们观察到,在典型的和私人拥有的公共空间中,社交效果显著,但在半公共空间中,社交功能有限。这些证据有助于我们了解在公共空间中创造支持性社会环境所需的知识,这对于促进包容性城市发展是不可或缺的。

期刊介绍: A leader among the field, International Journal of Health Geographics is an interdisciplinary, open access journal publishing internationally significant studies of geospatial information systems and science applications in health and healthcare. With an exceptional author satisfaction rate and a quick time to first decision, the journal caters to readers across an array of healthcare disciplines globally. International Journal of Health Geographics welcomes novel studies in the health and healthcare context spanning from spatial data infrastructure and Web geospatial interoperability research, to research into real-time Geographic Information Systems (GIS)-enabled surveillance services, remote sensing applications, spatial epidemiology, spatio-temporal statistics, internet GIS and cyberspace mapping, participatory GIS and citizen sensing, geospatial big data, healthy smart cities and regions, and geospatial Internet of Things and blockchain.
