Uncovering nonlinear urban factors of homelessness
Urban homelessness is a complex issue rooted in structural inequalities and spatial disparities, significantly affecting urban life and well-being. Existing research often relies on survey-based or linear regression methods, which are limited in scope, coverage, and their ability to capture nonlinear associations. This study addresses these gaps by combining homeless incident reports from New York City’s 311 service with multi-source urban big da…

Hillside urbanization induced vertical warming effect
Mixed ownership reform and digitalisation
Employing a machine learning measure, we find that mixed ownership reform in state-owned enterprises (SOEs) significantly advances digitalisation. This effect is primarily achieved through the pay-performance sensitivities of management and corporate risk-taking; it is particularly pronounced in competitive industries and among corporate decision-makers who did not experience the Great Chinese Famine during childhood. Our study not only explores …
Nighttime light imagery or mobile phone footprints
Quantifying seasonal bias in street view imagery for urban form assessment
Street view imagery (SVI), with its rich visual information, is increasingly recognized as a valuable data source for urban research. Particularly, by leveraging computer vision techniques, SVI can be used to calculate various urban form indices (e.g., Green View Index, GVI), providing a new approach for large-scale quantitative assessments of urban environments. However, SVI data collected at the same location in different seasons can yield vary…

Short video-driven deep perception for city imagery
City imagery is essential for enhancing city characteristics and disseminating city identity. As an emerging medium, short videos can intuitively reflect people’s perception of complex urban environment. In this study, we proposed a short video-driven deep learning perception framework to sense city imagery. To quantitatively deconstruct spatial imagery of urban space, deep neural network is used for pixel-level semantic segmentation. K-means clu…

Delineating urban functional zones using mobile phone data
As cities continuously expand and with the emergence of mega-city regions, the urban functional zones (UFZs) have spread beyond their original administrative boundaries. An accurate and updated delineation of the UFZs is crucial for assessing the functional integration between cities within a mega-city region. Mobility data provides a chance to depict the UFZs from actual human activities at a finer spatial scale. Existing studies mostly adopted …

Peer Victimization and Adolescent Mobile Social Addiction
Social media addiction has become one of the typical problem behaviors during adolescence. The present study examined the mediation of social anxiety between peer victimization and adolescent mobile social addiction and tested whether gender could moderate the direct and indirect effects of peer victimization. 649 adolescents between 12 and 19 years of age ( M age = 14.80, SD age = 1.82) completed the anonymous survey. The results found that soci…

A State Transformed by Information
Tu W. and Sui D. Z. A state transformed by information: Texas regional economy in the 1990s, Regional Studies. The structural change of the Texas regional economy in the 1990s is analysed using input–output and shift–share analyses. As the fastest growing economic sectors in all thirteen Texas regions, the information segment is also found to be more important as an input factor in the production processes. The ‘informatization’ of the Texas econ…

Strategic Environmental Assessment on the Shanghai Land Use Master Plan
This study developed a prototype of an environmental assessment tool, SEA_LUP_SD, based on the system dynamics model. SEA_LUD_SD can simulate and evaluate information feedback of land use plan options and three related systems, population change, economic development, and environment conditions. This tool was then applied to the Shanghai land use master plan (1997–2010) and three other hypothetical planning options to compare the corresponding en…

The population in China’s earthquake-prone areas has increased by over 32 million along with rapid urbanization
Accurate assessments of the population exposed to seismic hazard are crucial in seismic risk mapping. Recent rapid urbanization in China has resulted in substantial changes in the size and structure of the population exposed to seismic hazard. Using the latest population census data and seismic maps, this work investigated spatiotemporal changes in the exposure of the population in the most seismically hazardous areas (MSHAs) in China from 1990 t…
Coupling mobile phone and social media data
Understanding urban functions and their relationships with human activities has great implications for smart and sustainable urban development. In this study, we present a novel approach to uncovering urban functions by aggregating human activities inferred from mobile phone positioning and social media data. First, the homes and workplaces (of travelers) are estimated from mobile phone positioning data to annotate the activities conducted at the…

An Ecological Study on the Spatially Varying Relationship between County-Level Suicide Rates and Altitude in the United States
Suicide is a serious but preventable public health issue. Several previous studies have revealed a positive association between altitude and suicide rates at the county level in the contiguous United States. We assessed the association between suicide rates and altitude using a cross-county ecological study design. Data on suicide rates were obtained from a Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System (WISQARS), maintained by the U.S. N…

Assessing Spatial Accessibility to Medical Resources at the Community Level in Shenzhen, China
Spatial accessibility to medical resources is an integral component of universal health coverage. However, research evaluating the spatial accessibility of healthcare services at the community level in China remains limited. We assessed the community-level spatial access to beds, doctors, and nurses at general hospitals and identified the shortage areas in Shenzhen, one of the fastest growing cities in China. Based on hospital and population data…

Evaluating and characterizing urban vibrancy using spatial big data
Although people may recognize urban vibrancy when they see or sense it, developing direct and comprehensive measures of urban vibrancy remains a challenge. In the context of intense global competition, there is an increased realization that urban vibrancy is vital to the social and economic sustainability of cities. Such vibrancy may be significantly shaped by the urban built environment, yet we know little about the close connections between vib…
Understanding Ridesourcing Mobility and the Future of Electrification
The development of mobile Internet, smartphones, and location-based services has enabled ridesourcing, which pools vehicles and drivers to provide on-demand travel services. As an alternative transportation option, ridesourcing has significant impacts on urban travel. However, the unique mobility pattern of ridesourcing and its impact on vehicle electrification have not been well studied. To address this gap, this paper presents a comparative, bi…
