This study harnesses a rich dataset from surveys and the housing market in Nanjing, China to dissect the spatial distribution patterns of its mobile population. Employing the Mantel Test\u2014a novel approach in this context\u2014we assess the interplay between spatial shifts in residential locations and the socio-demographic attributes of individuals, thereby shedding light on the socio-spatial dynamics across various migration categories. Our findings underscore a pronounced trend in the post-2000 era of China\u2019s housing marketization: residential migrations occur predominantly within a five-year cycle. The decay in migration distances aligns with the migration field formula, suggesting a systematic attenuation of mobility over spatial extents. The study identifies a strong congruence between the mobility rings\u2014zones of frequent residential movement\u2014and the micro-level characteristics of residents, reflecting the nuanced fabric of urban stratification. Furthermore, we unveil how macro-level institutional frameworks and the housing market milieu substantially shape and limit the migration frequency, hinting at the overarching impact of policy and economic landscapes on residential mobility patterns. The paper culminates by articulating the underlying dynamics of urban residential migration, providing a comprehensive account that contributes to the discourse on sustainable urban development and planning.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi13010017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,4]],"date-time":"2024-01-04T04:05:38Z","timestamp":1704341138000},"page":"17","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The Patterns and Mechanisms of Residential Mobility in Nanjing, China: Insights from the Mantel Test"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Ling","family":"Ye","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing 210008, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"given":"Weixuan","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing 210008, China"}]},{"given":"Miao","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanjing Social Science Academy, Nanjing 210013, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4695-4240","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chunhui","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Humanities & Social Development, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"47","DOI":"10.2307\/2060063","article-title":"A theory of migration","volume":"3","author":"Lee","year":"1966","journal-title":"Demography"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1037","DOI":"10.1080\/02673037.2013.783903","article-title":"Following People Through Time: An Analysis of Individual Residential Mobility Biographies","volume":"28","author":"Coulter","year":"2013","journal-title":"Hous.
