Tóm tắt

AbstractOver the past three decades, China's cities have undergone massive spatial restructuring in the wake of market reforms and economic growth. One consequence has been a rapid migration of urban residents to the periphery. Some movers have been forced out either by rising urban rents or government reclamation of their residences. Others have relocated willingly to modernized housing or for other lifestyle reasons. This article examines the effects of relocation to the urban edge on household well‐being. It explores the factors underlying changes in housing and transportation costs as households move to the periphery. The research also examines whether those who moved involuntarily are affected differently from those who moved by choice. Results show that, relative to those who moved by choice, involuntary movers are disproportionately and adversely affected in terms of job accessibility, commute time, housing consumption and disposable income. The findings also show that, compared with higher‐income households, lower‐income groups are disproportionately affected in relation to housing costs, accessibility losses, disposable income and household worker composition. These results indicate that relocation compensation for involuntarily relocated households should be expanded to include more than just housing value: it should encompass urban location changes, household needs and relocation costs.Résumé Au cours des trois dernières décennies, les grandes villes chinoises ont connu une vaste restructuration spatiale à la suite des réformes du marché et de l’essor économique. Il en a résulté notamment une rapide migration des habitants des villes vers la périphérie. Certains y ont été forcés à cause de l’augmentation des loyers urbains ou de la récupération de leur logement par le gouvernement. D’autres ont déménagé volontairement dans des logements modernisés ou pour d’autres motifs liés au mode de vie. L’article examine les incidences des relogements en limite urbaine sur le bien‐être du foyer. Il s’intéresse aux facteurs à la base des évolutions des frais de logement et de transport lors d’un déménagement à la périphérie. De plus, l’étude cherche si les conséquences sont différentes selon que les habitants ont déménagé par obligation ou par choix: par rapport à ceux qui en ont fait le choix, les habitants contraints de partir sont affectés de manière disproportionnée et défavorable en termes d’accessibilité au travail, de temps de trajet, de consommation propre au logement et de revenu disponible. Les résultats montrent aussi que, comparés aux ménages aux revenus supérieurs, les groupes à plus faible revenu subissent un impact non proportionnel pour ce qui est des frais de logement, des pertes d’accessibilité, du revenu disponible et du nombre d’actifs dans le ménage. L’indemnité de relogement attribuée aux ménages obligés de partir devrait donc être augmentée afin de dépasser la seule valeur du logement: elle devrait couvrir le changement d’implantation urbaine, les besoins du ménage et les coûts de relogement.
