Abstract: Based on large-scale mobile signaling data in China during the COVID-19 outbreak in early 2020, this paper constructs a nationwide mobility network to explore the spatiotemporal evolution of human mobility pattern under the ‘epidemic-Spring Festival’ dual influences and to empirically test the role of the characteristics of the mobility network structure in COVID-19 transmission. The results show that there exist an age and distance heterogeneity in the destruction of the pandemic to human mobility pattern. The pandemic has weakened the importance of core cities in the mobility network and reshaped the distribution law of mobility intensity among cities. The degree distribution in each phase generally follows a power-law distribution, with a low-degree saturation and a high-degree cutoff. The city heterogeneity of migration patterns among different age groups reveals that the work stress of residents in different cities is differentiated, which is more prominent in the young population. The results also demonstrate that there is a causal relationship between the topology of the mobility network and local epidemic transmission. The regression discontinuity in time is used to examine the partial mediation effects of degree centrality, closeness centrality, and eigenvector centrality in the impact of quarantine policies on the local COVID-19 transmission. This paper provides a better understanding of mobility networks structure in determining the spread of major public health incident, which has important implications in theory and practice.

摘要： 基于2020年1月1日至2月29日的手机信令数据构建全国尺度人口流动网络，研究了疫情-春节叠加影响下人群流动行为的时空演化规律，并实证检验了流动网络结构特征在疫情传播中的作用。研究结果表明：大流行对人口流动模式的破坏存在年龄和距离异质性，削弱了高层级城市在人口流动网络中的重要性，并重塑了城市间人口流动强度分布规律。各时间段流动网络度分布均呈现“低度饱和，高度截断”的幂律特征，不同年龄群体迁移模式的城市分异性揭示了不同层级城市居民工作压力存在分化，且分化趋势在年轻人群中更为显著。研究还发现，流动网络拓扑结构与当地疫情传播之间存在因果关联性，采用时间断点回归模型实证检验了流动网络度中心性、接近中心性和特征向量中心性3项结构特征在封控政策对当地疫情传播的影响中起到部分中介作用。本研究对深入理解人口流动网络结构特征在重大公共卫生事件传播中的影响具有重要的理论和实践意义。
