摘要

伴隨著社會研究的“空間轉向”，社會空間研究日益得到重視。本文在此嘗試運用地圖進行社會空間關係的表達和分析，以補充既有研究在此方面的不足。具體以東莞市為例，運用網格化和點描法等資料空間化方法，將社會要素分為人口、公共設施和社會組織三種類型進行社會地圖的呈現。在此基礎上，進行社會地圖分析以展現東莞市各類社會要素的空間特徵、人口與社會資源的空間關係、以及社會空間結構的狀況。分析結果顯示，東莞市人口、設施和組織要素匹配不均衡現象嚴重，社會空間結構複雜，尚有大量後續課題有待應對。本文也進一步討論了社會地圖方法的運用延展性，並對大資料時代社會地圖的運用進行了展望。

As the tendency to study of space brought into focus recently, social space research is becoming a significant and essential issue. Since the method of Social Area Analysis is limited in presenting the sociospatial relations, and social atlas is an more effective way, this research attempts to use the method of social atlas to study social space with a case study in Dongguan city. The research groups the social factors into three categories in line with The Production of Space, which are population and society, public facilities, social organization and service agency, and maps in the gridding and dotting method based on an up-to-date data. After then, the study includes three parts: presents and understands the spatial features of various social factors by social atlas; explores the spatial relations of different populations and social facilities; analyzes the Dongguan social areas division on the basis of Principal Component Analysis and Cluster Analysis. As a result, the maps shows a dispersed, imbalance and complex social space of Dongguan. In the end, this research declares the important value of social atlas in the age of Big Data, and indicates the necessity of continuing research.
