中文简介:
大规模地研究一个城市的社会动态一直是一项具有挑战性的工作,需要长时间的观察和采访,通常只能对现实进行一次部分描述。与此同时,市政组织单位的边界,如社区和地区,在很大程度上由市政府静态定义,并不总是反映这些地区的生活特征。为了解决这两个难题,我们引入了一个聚类模型和研究方法,用于研究城市的结构和组成,这是基于其资源产生的社交媒体。我们使用来自基于位置的网络用户的大约1800万个签到的数据。由此产生的集群,我们称之为Livehoods,是构成城市的动态城市区域的代表。我们采用跨学科方法验证这些集群,对宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡的27名居民进行访谈,了解他们对该城市的看法是如何根据我们的调查结果进行的。我们的结果为发现的星团提供了强有力的支持,展示了生活方式如何揭示城市的特征区域和塑造它们的力量。
课程简介: Studying the social dynamics of a city on a large scale has tra- ditionally been a challenging endeavor, requiring long hours of observation and interviews, usually resulting in only a par- tial depiction of reality. At the same time, the boundaries of municipal organizational units, such as neighborhoods and districts, are largely statically defined by the city government and do not always reflect the character of life in these ar- eas. To address both difficulties, we introduce a clustering model and research methodology for studying the structure and composition of a city based on the social media its res- idents generate. We use data from approximately 18 million check-ins collected from users of a location-based online so- cial network. The resulting clusters, which we call Livehoods, are representations of the dynamic urban areas that comprise the city. We take an interdisciplinary approach to validating these clusters, interviewing 27 residents of Pittsburgh, PA, to see how their perceptions of the city project onto our findings there. Our results provide strong support for the discovered clusters, showing how Livehoods reveal the distinctly charac- terized areas of the city and the forces that shape them.
