摘要:

由于其作为社交场所的重要作用,“第三地”-人们随意访问并与朋友和邻居交流的社交场所-已经被广泛的领域所研究,包括网络科学,社会学,地理学,城市规划和区域研究。然而,由于缺乏对第三地的大规模普查,研究人员无法进行系统的调查。在这里,我们提供了一个系统的第三地和他们的社交网络,通过使用Facebook页面全国范围内的调查。我们的分析显示,第三名的类型分布存在很大程度的地理异质性,这与基线人口统计数据和县的特征高度相关。某些类型的页面(例如“礼拜场所”)表现出很大程度的聚集性,表明社区偏好或对集中的潜在互补性。我们还发现,不同类型的社交场所的社交网络在重要方面有所不同:“餐馆”和“室内娱乐”页面的社交网络更有可能是既有友谊的紧密社区,而“礼拜场所”和“社区设施”页面类别更有可能建立新的友谊关系。我们相信,这项研究可以作为一个重要的里程碑,为未来的研究系统的比较研究的社会空间及其社会关系。

英文摘要:

Due to their essential role as places for socialization, "third places" - social places where people casually visit and communicate with friends and neighbors - have been studied by a wide range of fields including network science, sociology, geography, urban planning, and regional studies. However, the lack of a large-scale census on third places kept researchers from systematic investigations. Here we provide a systematic nationwide investigation of third places and their social networks, by using Facebook pages. Our analysis reveals a large degree of geographic heterogeneity in the distribution of the types of third places, which is highly correlated with baseline demographics and county characteristics. Certain types of pages like "Places of Worship" demonstrate a large degree of clustering suggesting community preference or potential complementarities to concentration. We also found that the social networks of different types of social place differ in important ways: The social networks of 'Restaurants' and 'Indoor Recreation' pages are more likely to be tight-knit communities of pre-existing friendships whereas 'Places of Worship' and 'Community Amenities' page categories are more likely to bridge new friendship ties. We believe that this study can serve as an important milestone for future studies on the systematic comparative study of social spaces and their social relationships.
