社会交往是人们生活质量的一个重要方面。由于交通和通信技术的发展，社交网络在空间上变得更加分散，因此调查在何种程度上仍然存在本地社交互动是有趣的。因此，本文分析了当地的社会互动在多大程度上受到居住环境的特点，以及个人和移动属性。这些分析基于2008年在埃因霍温和荷兰南部一些较小的周边村庄收集的747名受访者的数据。数据收集工具包括一个为期两天的社会互动日记，用于收集有关受访者的互动和他们接触的人的详细信息。使用这些数据的多层次二项式logit模型估计分析是否发生了社会互动与当地的领带（1公里距离内的人）。结果表明，与当地领带互动的可能性受到个人特征（年龄，性别，家庭规模，工作），流动性特征（汽车的数量，通勤时间），社区的大小和存在的设施（超市，体育，公共交通）在住宅区。
Social interaction is an important aspect of people’s quality of life. Since social networks are becoming more spatially spread as a result of the development of transportation and communication technology, it is interesting to investigate to which extent local social interactions still take place. This paper therefore analyses to what extent local social interactions are affected by characteristics of the residential environment as well as personal and mobility attributes. The analyses are based on data collected in 2008 in Eindhoven and a number of smaller surrounding villages in the south of the Netherlands among 747 respondents. The data collection instrument consisting of a two-day social interaction diary was used to gather detailed information about the respondents’ interactions and the persons they contacted. Using these data a multilevel binomial logit model is estimated analyzing whether or not a social interaction took place with a local tie (someone within 1 km distance). The results indicate that the likelihood of interacting with a local tie is affected by personal characteristics (age, gender, household size, work), mobility characteristics (number of cars, commuting time), size of the community and the presence of facilities (supermarket, sports, public transport) in the residential area.
