Geodemographic Classification of Interactivity: Proof of Concept for Greater London
Geodemographic classifications are a proven tool for characterizing individuals according to the locations in which they live or work. With the advent of smart data, they are extensible to representing how social systems function, bringing focus to newly observed patterns of human interactivity; that is, the generalized patterns of observed movements that are revealed by user interactions with smart devices. This can greatly extend geodemographic…
Creating the London night-worker geodemographic classification
This paper aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the geography of night working in London (United Kingdom). Around a quarter of London’s workforce is employed in the evening and night-time economy, working between the hours of 6 pm and 6 am. Compared to daytime workers, there is limited public information on where these workers are located, how they travel, and what amenities they rely on during work hours. To address this gap, we…
Understanding place-to-place interactions using flow patterns derived from in-app mobile phone location data
Functional roles of neighbourhoods change throughout the day, as both a cause and consequence of human mobility fluctuations. Here we review how neighbourhoods can be characterised by origin-destination flows derived from individual level GPS-enabled in-app data. These are used to track individual trajectories from start to end points prior to aggregation. We leverage securely held individual level in-app mobile phone location data that preserve …
Geography, ethnicity, genealogy and inter‐generational social inequality in Great Britain
This paper documents population‐wide inequalities of outcome in Great Britain amongst and between long‐established and more recently arrived family groups. ‘Establishment’ is defined using family group presence in the 1851 Census of Population as a benchmark, and the ethnicity or nationality of more recent migrants is determined through classification of given and family names. Inequalities of outcome are measured using a harmonised indicator of …
Family names, city size distributions and residential differentiation in Great Britain, 1881–1901
Cities have specialised in particular urban functions throughout history, with consequential implications for urban and regional patterns of economic and social change. This specialisation takes place within overall national city size distributions and is manifest in different but often similarly variegated residential structures. Here we develop a novel and consistent methodological approach for measuring macro-scale city size and micro-scale re…
Improving collaboration between ecosystem service communities and the Ipbes science-policy platform
The end of the first working program of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) provided an opportunity to draw lessons from its work. This perspective paper captures insights from ecosystem services (ES) researchers and practitioners, largely drawing from the European context (referred to herein as ‘ES community’), on this key science–policy interface. We synthesize reflections from a workshop…
Interactive display of surnames distributions in historic and contemporary Great Britain
We introduce a method to calculate and store approximately 1.2 million surname distributions calculated for surnames found in Great Britain for six years of historic population data and 20 years of contemporary population registers compiled from various consumer sources. We subsequently show how this database can be incorporated into an interactive web-environment specifically designed for the public dissemination of detailed surname statistics. …
Family Name Origins and Intergenerational Demographic Change in Great Britain
We develop bespoke geospatial routines to typify 88,457 surnames by their likely ancestral geographic origins within Great Britain. Linking this taxonomy to both historic and contemporary population data sets, we characterize regional populations using surnames that indicate whether their bearers are likely to be long-settled. We extend this approach in a case study application, in which we summarize intergenerational change in local populations …
Data-driven urban management: Mapping the landscape
Big data analytics and artificial intelligence, paired with blockchain technology, the Internet of Things, and other emerging technologies, are poised to revolutionise urban management. With massive amounts of data collected from citizens, devices, and traditional sources such as routine and well-established censuses, urban areas across the world have - for the first time in history - the opportunity to monitor and manage their urban infrastructu…
Analyzing Travel Behavior by Using GPS-Based Activity Spaces and Opportunity Indicators
An activity space is a spatial expression of individual spatial behavior that can play a role in visualizing and analyzing travel behavior. In this article, we use the data of a two-day tracking experiment to explore whether accessibility to opportunities as represented through activity spaces associate with different travel characteristics, including willingness to consider more sustainable modes of transport. Simultaneously, we draw attention t…
