邻里效应的研究主要集中在居民区，但人们在日常生活中会接触到许多其他地方，如学校、工作场所、购物场所等，因此，对居民区的研究只考虑了影响个人的社会空间环境的一个子集。在这篇文章中，我们研究成人的“活动空间”的特点-空间定义的位置，个人经常访问，在加州的洛杉矶县。使用地理信息系统（GIS）的方法，我们定义活动空间的两种方式，并估计其社会经济特征。我们的研究有两个目标。首先，我们确定住宅区是否代表成年人在日常活动中所处的社会条件。其次，我们评估特定群体在日常活动中是否暴露于更广泛或更狭窄的社会背景。我们发现，活动空间的主要社会特征方面的异质性大大超过了住宅区。然而，家庭邻里和活动空间的特征与个人特征密切相关。我们的研究结果表明，大多数人在日常生活中经历了大量的空间隔离，而不仅仅是在家里。
Research on neighborhood effects has focused largely on residential neighborhoods, but people are exposed to many other places in the course of their daily lives—at school, at work, when shopping, and so on. Thus, studies of residential neighborhoods consider only a subset of the social-spatial environment affecting individuals. In this article, we examine the characteristics of adults’ “activity spaces”—spaces defined by locations that individuals visit regularly, in Los Angeles County, California. Using geographic information system (GIS) methods, we define activity spaces in two ways and estimate their socioeconomic characteristics. Our research has two goals. First, we determine whether residential neighborhoods represent the social conditions to which adults are exposed in the course of their regular activities. Second, we evaluate whether particular groups are exposed to a broader or narrower range of social contexts in the course of their daily activities. We find that activity spaces are substantially more heterogeneous in terms of key social characteristics, compared to residential neighborhoods. However, the characteristics of both home neighborhoods and activity spaces are closely associated with individual characteristics. Our results suggest that most people experience substantial segregation across the range of spaces in their daily lives, not just at home.
