居民的主观幸福感是决定社会稳定的重要因素，也正成为新时期中国城市发展的新的战略目标。主观幸福感已日益成为量化人们的生活质量的重要指标，目前在心理学及经济学中有广泛应用。本项目用地理学的视角研究主观幸福感。基于时间地理学的活动日志调查和计量经济学方法，本研究从居民日常生活的时空行为视角来研究城市居民幸福感的时空间结构及其变化规律。研究的重点是考察个体的时空幸福感体验与社会-空间背景（即建成环境、社会网络）的交互作用。本研究拟在中国南北两个有代表性的城市北京和广州收集数据并运用结构方程及多层空间模型等方法考察个体的主观幸福感、日常行为（出行行为为主）与城市空间结构的关系。本研究领域是目前国内外的前沿，有望成为一个时间地理学的新的研究领域。本研究也具有广阔的应用前景，其成果可以为新时期中国城市建设幸福城市的战略提供科学决策依据。

Promoting citizens' subjective wellbeing is considered an important measure to social cohesion and social sustainability. It has also become one of the most important objectives of development in urban China today. Subjective wellbeing has been a hot topic across a variety of disciplines including psychology, economics and sociology. Though lag behind other disciplines, geographers have started to pay attention to issues related to wellbeing and life satisfaction. This proposed research intends to make a contribution to the studies on subjective wellbeing from a geography perspective. The study will adopt the time-geography framework and investigate the interrelations between individuals' subjective wellbeing, daily activities, built environment and social network. Case studies will be conducted in Beijing and Guangzhou, respectively the representative city in Northern and Southern China. This study may open a new chapter for time geography research and provide a new perspective for China urban studies. Findings of this research may provide scientific justifications for Chinese cities to design policies with the objectives of improving citizens' quality of life.
