Incorporating Inverse Reinforcement Learning in Urban Agent-Based Modeling
Increasing the realism of agent-based models requires the definition of behavioral mechanisms and rules. Knowledge regarding parameter values and even functional forms for defining this behavior is not always available, leading to arbitrariness in models. Machine learning approaches expose the dynamics underlying empirical data and can assist in overcoming this obstacle. Extending previous work, this article contributes by developing an approach …
Spatiotemporal dynamics of violence in social unrest events based on geo-social media data
Unrest events occur in the society in various forms. Some of them can escalate into violence, causing severe damage to property, individuals, and society. Recently, social media, together with AI, has become a crucial tool for monitoring and investigating the development and impact of unrest events. This research aims to comprehensively analyze social media data to explore the spatiotemporal patterns of activities and violence associated with unr…
From cultural codes to spatial measures
Informal settlements may appear chaotic, yet often follow internal orders shaped by cultural principles. However, systematic approaches to analyzing and understanding cultural-spatial codes remain lacking. This paper discusses a methodological framework for quantitatively investigating socio-spatial patterns within informal settlements and presents its implementation for Bedouin informal settlements in the Israeli Negev. The framework draws on qu…

Bridges and Barriers
The academic community frequently engages with OpenStreetMap (OSM) as a data source and research subject, acknowledging its complex and contextual nature. However, existing literature rarely considers the position of academic research in relation to the OSM community. In this paper we explore the extent and nature of engagement between the academic research community and the larger communities in OSM. An analysis of OSM-related publications from …
The Impact of Community Happenings in OpenStreetMap—Establishing a Framework for Online Community Member Activity Analyses
The collaborative nature of activities in Web 2.0 projects leads to the formation of online communities. To reinforce this community, these projects often rely on happenings centred around data creation and curation activities. We suggest an integrated framework to directly assess online community member performance in a quantitative manner and applied it to the case study of OpenStreetMap. A set of mappers who participated in both field and remo…
Cascading effects of a disaster on the labor market over the medium to long term
Typologies of tourists' time-space consumption
Time geography presents a conceptual framework to describe and understand the tourists' spatio-temporal behavior, according to which the effective reach of an individual is defined by time-space constraints and the path taken by the individual. In recent years, a growing number of studies within this framework have begun to use geographic information systems (GIS) tools and data gathered with the help of advanced tracking methods. These tools and…
