This paper investigates the potential temporal and spatial variations of suicides in subway stations in Stockholm, Sweden. The study also assesses whether the variation in suicide rates is related to the station environments by controlling for each station's location and a number of contextual factors using regression models and geographical information systems (GIS). Data on accidents are used as references for the analysis of suicides. Findings show that suicides tend to occur during the day and in the spring. They are concentrated in the main transportation hubs but, interestingly, during off-peak hours. However, the highest rates of suicides per passenger are found in Stockholm's subway stations located in the Southern outskirts. More than half of the variation in suicide rates is associated with stations that have walls between the two sides of the platform but still allow some visibility from passers-by. The surrounding environment and socioeconomic context show little effect on suicide rates, but stations embedded in areas with high drug-related crime rates tend to show higher suicide rates.
本文研究了瑞典斯德哥尔摩地铁站自杀事件潜在的时空变化。该研究还通过使用回归模型和地理信息系统（GIS）控制每个车站的位置和一些背景因素，评估自杀率的变化是否与车站环境有关。事故数据用作自杀分析的参考。研究结果表明，自杀事件往往发生在白天和春季。它们集中在主要交通枢纽，但有趣的是，发生在非高峰时段。然而，每位乘客自杀率最高的是位于南郊的斯德哥尔摩地铁站。自杀率超过一半的变化与站台两侧有墙壁但仍能让路人有一定可见度的车站有关。周边环境和社会经济背景对自杀率影响不大，但嵌入毒品相关犯罪率高的地区的车站往往自杀率较高。
