Identifying Borders of Activity Spaces and Quantifying Border Effects on Intra-Urban Travel through Spatial Interaction Network

Detecting borders of urban activity spaces is essential for understanding urban dynamic structures. The emerging big geo-data help to extract valuable knowledge about the relationship between urban structures and human activities at fine …

Measuring Hub Locations in Time-Evolving Spatial Interaction Networks Based on Explicit Spatiotemporal Coupling and Group Centrality

As the essence of urban spatiotemporal interaction systems, hubs and centers empower cities to enhance socioeconomic prosperity and sustainability. However, a city manifests a time-evolving spatial interaction network with latent temporal …

Extracting Spatial Patterns of Intercity Tourist Movements from Online Travel Blogs

Spatial patterns of tourist mobility are important for tourism management and planning. A large number of traveler-generated content accumulated on the internet provide a unique opportunity for revealing comprehensive spatial patterns of tourist …

Inferring Spatial Interaction Patterns from Sequential Snapshots of Spatial Distributions

Spatial interactions underlying consecutive sequential snapshots of spatial distributions, such as the migration flows underlying temporal population snapshots, can reflect the details of spatial evolution processes. In the era of big data, we have …

The Scale Effect on Spatial Interaction Patterns: An Empirical Study Using Taxi O-D Data of Beijing and Shanghai

Spatial scale is a fundamental issue for geographical phenomena because the size of the spatial unit adopted for analysis can have a significant effect on aggregated spatial data and the corresponding analytical results. There exists much research on …
