Temporal and spatial distribution of spending in the city using bank cards transactions
Despite the economic, social, and symbolic importance of urban consumption, its study has been constrained by the lack of sources with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution until the emergence of new Big Data sources. Based on data from bank card transactions, this study examines the temporal, spatial, and spatiotemporal distribution of consumption in the city of Madrid, according to consumer type and commercial sector. Likewise, through the…
Using mobile phone data to explore gender and age gaps in urban mobility. Revealing the changes after Covid-19 in the metropolitan region of Madrid (Spain)
Gender differences in mobility are common in cities but analyzing them using data from travel surveys is limited by the sample size and the lack of detailed spatial and temporal patterns for different population groups. Big data sources, such as mobile phone data, offer almost ubiquitous data of daily mobility patterns and their changes while including basic socio-demographic characteristics. This paper studies differences in urban mobility from …
Intra-urban consumption flows and sociospatial disparities
This study analyses intra-urban consumption flows in Madrid through a spatial analysis using over 689 million anonymized bank card transactions recorded in 2023. By disaggregating data by age and income groups, the research uncovers significant variations in consumer mobility patterns and spatial preferences. Older adults and high-income groups exhibit more localized consumption behaviors, while middle-income groups demonstrate wider mobility acr…
Simulating Co-Evolution and Knowledge Transfer in Logistic Clusters Using a Multi-Agent-Based Approach
Some complex social networks are driven by adaptive and co-evolutionary patterns. However, these can be difficult to detect and analyse since the links between actors are circumstantial and often not revealed. This paper employs a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) integrated multi-agent-based approach to simulate co-evolution in a complex social network. A case study is proposed for the modelling of contractual relationships between road freig…
Metropolitan Migratory Trends in the Post‐Pandemic Context. Analysis of the Madrid Region Based on Mobile Phone Network Data
This paper aims to enrich the current literature on the study of migratory movements in the context of COVID‐19 and the post‐pandemic period. While most of the studies on this topic measure migration using official registers, we propose a new methodology based on the leverage of mobile phone network data, taken from the Madrid region, as a case study. While the use of such data are common in other fields, such as transport and mobility planning, …
Consumption after dark exploring spatio-temporal patterns of spending in the night-time economy
The concept of the night-time economy has gained attention in recent years as cities around the world recognize the potential of night-time activities. Most research on the night-time economy adopts a social perspective, without examining this topic from an economic approach, probably because official statistics do not provide suitable information for this purpose. The availability of data on bank card transactions opens new avenues in the study …
Recovering urban nightlife
Nightlife in urban areas is gaining interest due to its role as a stimulus of the local economy, tourism, safety, and public services. However, most studies analyse nighttime activity from a qualitative perspective and at a general urban scale, without going into a detailed spatial analysis. In this paper, we have used the spatio-temporal details of Google Places data, and the activity trends at a variety of facilities that provide Google Popular…
Light in the darkness
City nightlife supports a significant part of our social interactions, enhancing social wellbeing and community-building dynamics. COVID-19 impact on nightlife has been particularly dramatic and expanded over time. Few studies have analyzed this impact, and nightlife recovery remains even less explored. This study examines the post-COVID-19 recovery of nightlife using mobile phone data in Kyoto (Japan) and Madrid (Spain), two cities with differen…
Exploring the spatial patterns of visitor expenditure in cities using bank card transactions data
The importance of tourism expenditure is widely recognized, but the spatial patterns of visitor expenditure in cities is so far an unexplored subject. The main aim of this paper is to analyze the spatial distribution of visitor spending using bank card transaction data. Spatial statistics tools are used to identify expenditure clustering patterns and hot spots, distinguishing between national and foreign visitors, and comparing their patterns wit…
Towards a new urban geography of expenditure
The spatial distribution of commercial activities is vital to support healthy lifestyles and to achieve livable public spaces and environmental, social and economic sustainability in our cities. However, commercial activities require a constant flow of expenditure for their own viability. As a result, understanding the spatial and temporal distribution of expenditure is fundamental, although the lack of detailed, complete data sources has impeded…
Parking Places to Moped-Style Scooter Sharing Services Using GIS Location-Allocation Models and GPS Data
Moped-style scooters are one of the most popular systems of micro-mobility. They are undoubtedly good for the city, as they promote forms of environmentally-friendly mobility, in which flexibility helps prevent traffic build-up in the urban centers where they operate. However, their increasing numbers are also generating conflicts as a result of the bad behavior of users, their unwarranted use in public spaces, and above all their parking. This p…
Exploring night and day socio-spatial segregation based on mobile phone data
Social segregation research has a long tradition in urban studies. Usually, these studies focus on the residential dimension, using official registries (e.g., census data), which show population distribution at night. Nevertheless, these studies disregard the fact that the population in cities is highly mobile, and its spatial distribution dramatically changes between night and day. The emergence of new data sources (Big Data) creates perfect con…
The city turned off
Due to the rapid expansion of the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries ordained lockdowns, establishing different restrictions on people's mobility. Exploring to what extent these measures have been effective is critical in order to better respond to similar future scenarios. This article uses anonymous mobile phone data to study the impact of the Spanish lockdown on the daily dynamics of the Madrid metropolitan area (Spain). The analysis has been c…
Traffic congestion and economic context
This paper aims to evaluate the impacts of the economic context on traffic congestion and its consequential effects on private vehicle accessibility. We conduct a long-term analysis of spatiotemporal traffic congestion patterns in Madrid (Spain), comparing two urban realms: the 2008 economic crisis and the following post-crisis situation. We apply TomTom Speed Profiles data to assess daily variations in traffic congestion and their changes betwee…
Exploring the spatio-temporal dynamics of moped-style scooter sharing services in urban areas
Spain is one of the countries with the highest shared mobility fleet in the world. The shared use of motorcycles, also known as moped-style scooter sharing, has spread far and wide throughout the country at a dramatic pace in recent years. Despite its increasing popularity and impact on urban mobility, efforts devoted to the study of its spatio-temporal travel patterns are still scant. Based on the analysis of GPS records of an operator present i…
Spatio-temporal mobility and Twitter
Recent progress in computation and the spatio-temporal richness of data obtained from new sources have invigorated Time Geography. It is now possible to visualise and represent movements of people in a dual spatial–temporal dimension. In this work, we use geo-located data from the social media platform Twitter to show the value of new data sources for Time Geography. The methodology consists of visualising space–time paths in 2D and 3D in four st…

Distance-Measure Impacts on the Calculation of Transport Service Areas Using GIS
Access coverage is important in public transit planning, as this is the means by which service is provided to riders. In fact the proximity of demand (population and employment) to stops or stations on the network to a great extent explains its greater or lesser usage by potential users. Coverage of service areas can be delineated by GIS through the creation of buffers around transit facilities based on Euclidean (straight-line) distance. A secon…
Incidencia en la movilidad de los principales factores de un modelo metropolitano cambiante
The mobility of people and goods in metropolitan areas is affected by multiple factors. Most research that analyses changes in mobility focuses on the impacts generated by transport network development. In contrast, this article looks at factors such as the new production model, the development of information and communication technologies, and socio-demographic and cultural transformations. These all have direct, also indirect, repercussions on …
