Fire security is an important part of the urban infrastructure system. In existing quantitative application research, fire stations have always used a maximally covered approach to optimize the layout of urban functions. With this planning, different fire stations face different firefighting pressures (FPs) because of the different distributions of...
As urban areas serve as spatial carriers for innovation activities, exploring the interaction between innovation and urban spaces has become a research hotspot. Previous studies have primarily focused on urban innovation capacity assessment and measurement, with less attention given to the urban innovation potential and issues such as insufficient...
Community dependence reflects individuals' daily needs for community space and facilities and is closely related to the accurate allocation of social resources and human quality of life. This study examines the differences in community use and dependence among different income groups at the overall and community levels from the perspective of the m...
Rail transit’s safety and convenience have made it a preferred option for people with disabilities. In this study, utilizing the geographically weighted regression based on the network weight matrix (NWM GWR) model, we investigated the spatiotemporal patterns and influencing factors of metro ridership among this group in Nanjing, China. Our finding...
This study explores the location choices of Airbnb from the hosts' perspective. Drawing on accommodation location models, cognitive maps and advertising place references, hosts' location choices and spatial advertising hotspots are discovered. 136,000 pieces of Airbnb listing data and Airbnb titles in 18 Chinese cities are used to explain the relat...
The spatio-temporal characteristics of tourist flow is one of the core topics in tourism geography. However, few studies have paid attention to community analysis in tourist flow network. This paper uses mobile signaling data based on random walk approach to identify the communities of tourist flow. A node influence evaluation is established to ide...
With the increasing trend of residents and tourists sharing urban spaces, the boundary between leisure spaces and tourism spaces is gradually being blurred. However, few studies have quantified the spatiotemporal correlation patterns of residents’ leisure activities and tourists’ activities. To fill this gap, this paper takes Nanjing as an example...
Investigating the impact of the built environment around rail stations on ridership as well as assessing the spatial and temporal variation of that impact is helpful to improving the operational efficiency of urban public transport and guiding station planning and development. Based on 14 days of smart card data in Nanjing, 159 metro stations were...
This Special Issue (SI) aims to demonstrate the state of the art in development and application of the geo-information technology in various fields. In particular, we focus on smart city and urban planning, land resource investigation and management, geo-disaster risk assessment and the optimal touristic flow management. This work was motivated by...
Time allocation is closely related to life quality and is a potential indicator of urban space utilization and sociospatial differentiation. However, existing time allocation studies focus on how time is allocated to various activities but pay less attention to where individuals allocate their time. In the context of China’s transformation, this st...
Economic expansion has caused increasingly serious land resource problems, and the decoupling of urban industrial land expansion from economic development has become a big topic for intensive development. The current research has mainly concerned industrial land efficiency, a single, static indicator, compared to a decoupling model, which takes int...
Geo-information technology plays a critical role in urban planning and management, land resource quantification, natural disaster risk and damage assessment, smart city development, land cover change modeling and touristic flow management. In particular, the development of big data mining and machine learning techniques (including deep learning) in...
The complexity and fragmentation of people's activity space are challenging to planners. However, the relevant studies are mostly concerned on the relationship between the social attributes and the activity space of residents in a single or several communities, or the spatiotemporal laws of activity space on a macro scale. The research on the spati...
The homestay model represented by Airbnb has developed rapidly in China over the last several years. By taking the city of Suzhou in China as a case study, this paper analyzes the distribution characteristics and impact factors of Airbnb in a typical historical and cultural tourism city and discusses the uniqueness of Suzhou. This paper identifies...
The rapid expansion of cities brings in new challenges for the urban firefighting security, while the increasing fire frequency poses serious threats to the life, property, and safety of individuals living in cities. Firefighting in cities is a challenging task, and the optimal spatial arrangement of fire stations is critical to firefighting securi...
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to compare the spatial distribution of Airbnb and hotels in London and examine the relationship between demographic, socioeconomic and environmental factors and the supply of these two types of lodging supply.
Design/methodology/approach
Local information of Airbnb listings in London was collected through Insid...
Geo-information technology has been playing a more and more important role in environmental monitoring, land resource quantification and mapping, natural hazard damage and risk assessment, urban planning, smart city development and other land use change monitoring and modeling. New advancements and innovations have been achieved especially with the...
Rapid economic and social development has been accompanied by the occurrence of many major issues throughout the world. Specifically, there is an ever-increasing demand for emergent medical services among the public. In order to ensure timely responses to emergency demands, it is critical to reasonably configure the emergency stations. In general,...
Accessibility is closely related to human health and life quality and is a potential indicator of social exclusion. With an activity-space measure and by weighting the importance of facilities, this study examines the differences in access to facilities between low- and non-low-income groups at both the individual and community levels using Nanjing...
With rapid economic and urban development in recent decades, sociospatial inequalities in Chinese cities are exacerbating. In China, the sociospatial structure of cities has experienced tremendous changes during the economic transition. Based on a person‐based perspective, this study explores the relationship between urban spaces and individual beh...
Leisure activities play an important role in people’s daily life and are closely related to residents’ physical and mental health. Studies on leisure activities have increased sharply in recent decades. However, comparison studies of leisure activities of residents with different socio-economic attribute have received less attention. Based on an ac...
Sharing accommodation has emerged recently as a new business model in the accommodation sector. Due to the potential gentrification Airbnb might bring to an area, it is critical to understand the spatial patterns of sharing economy and its possible determinants. The neighbourhood environment has proven to be an important factor in the traditional h...
Application high resolution remote sensing image, based on multiscale segmentation and object-oriented image analysis method, and vegetation index was computed, green land was extracted. In order to distinguish different types of vegetation, applying texture character classification algorithm of grey co-occurrence matrix, trees and grasses were ext...
� Abstract: By applying geographic information system (GIS) technology to the hongcun cultural heritage conservation planning, data of building and social economy were collected, because data had spatial feature, data was saved and managed by GIS database. Based on spatial database of GIS, thematic maps were plotted, building value was evaluated, m...
