本文使用来自德国的经验证据，调查了与伴侣相隔较远的人（long distance lat）。之前的研究并没有区分住得离得近和离得远的夫妻。在欧洲和北美的官方统计和调查中，也没有捕捉到LAT工会的空间特征。目前的结果是基于对最近搬到选定的大都市的人的随机抽样调查，揭示了距离在这方面的影响：与附近分开家庭的夫妇相比，远距离LAT联盟不仅与特定的形成和动机背景有关，而且具有独特的社会结构特征。异地移民年轻，在空间上流动，技能高，居住安排往往是由于劳动力市场的限制。lat在现代晚期社会中是一个很小的人口群体，然而，他们集中在大都市地区和城市，这表明当代人口、住房和城市研究需要关注家庭以外的生活安排水平，以了解社会变化如何塑造城市景观及其在改造城市空间中发挥的作用。更准确地说，考虑远距离lat有助于我们理解高质量夫妇的搬迁/居住行为、租住权选择行为和对特定居住特征的偏好。
In this paper people living apart together at a greater distance with his/her partner (long distance LATs) are investigated, using empirical evidence from Germany. Previous research did not apply a distinction between couples which live apart over long distance or in close proximity. In official statistics and surveys across Europe and North America the spatialities of LAT unions is not captured either. The present results, which are based on a random sample survey of people who recently moved to selected metropolises, reveal that distance matters in this respect: long distance LAT unions are not only associated with specific formation and motivation contexts but also with distinctive socio-structural characteristics compared to couples in separate households close-by. Long distance LATs are young, spatially mobile, and highly skilled, and most frequently the living arrangement is due to labour market constraints. LATs are altogether a small population segment in late-modern societies, however, they are concentrated in metropolitan regions and cities, which points to the need of contemporary population, housing and urban studies to pay attention beyond the household to the level of living arrangements in order to understand how societal change shape urban landscapes and which role it play in transforming urban space. To be more precise, considering long distance LATs contributes, for instance, to our understanding of the relocation/residential behaviour of highly qualified couples, tenure choice behaviour, and preferences for specific dwelling features.
