Residential relocation choice is affected by numerous factors, but gasoline prices as a potential factor have not been investigated. This study examines gasoline price changes and residential relocation choice using 1996-2008 American Housing Survey data. We found higher gasoline prices are associated with a higher percentage of movers choosing locations closer to workplaces. The findings have implications for addressing the impacts of volatile gasoline prices on land use planning and policies; resilient "smart cities or communities" are one possible solution.
居住地点的重新选择受众多因素影响，但汽油价格作为一个潜在因素尚未得到研究。本研究利用1996 - 2008年美国住房调查数据，考察了汽油价格变化与居住地点重新选择的情况。我们发现，汽油价格上涨与选择更靠近工作地点的搬迁者比例增加有关。这些发现对于应对汽油价格波动对土地利用规划和政策的影响具有启示意义；构建有弹性的“智慧城市或社区”是一种可能的解决方案。
