NEW PAPER ALERT! 📢 🚶♂️ I'm happy to share our new paper "𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀", published in "Cities". In short: We used Moovit app data to evaluate the relationship between #walking in the built environment and #street_characteristics using #machine_learning techniques. In more detail: This study utilizes machine learning techniques to scrutinize mobile-app data on pedestrian traffic alongside street characteristics. Tree-based algorithms are deployed to identify the association between walking volume and built environment features at the street-level, spanning distinct time periods. The pedestrian traffic data was gathered in Tel Aviv, Israel, while accounting for seasonal variations, weekdays, and time of day. Examining 20 street-level characteristics across 8000 segments furnishes new insights into the relative significance of various characteristics for walking, as well as street profiles linked to greater vs. lesser pedestrian activity. Notably, time variables emerge as crucial, with street features varying in importance across different time definitions. The study offers implications for decision-makers and urban planners by informing them of pedestrians’ behaviors and preferences at the street-level, facilitating more efficient infrastructure investments and supporting planning decisions.

Starting from this month, with a monthly LinkedIn post, we introduce UrbView approach in Urban safety! Our 1st post is about #PartitioningBasedClustering. Ever wondered how we dissect urban landscapes to uncover hidden gems and trends? It's all thanks to Partitioning-Based Clustering! 🏙️✨   Partitioning-Based Clustering is a sophisticated data analysis technique that allows us to segment vast urban environments into meaningful clusters. But what does this mean for UrbView and our mission?   Well, it means we can hierarchically characterize communities within cities, revealing intricate layers of activity and connectivity. 🧩💼   This powerful tool enables us to dive deep into the urban fabric, uncovering sub-regions based on critical factors like pedestrian flow, luminosity, and accessibility. 🚶♂️💡🛣️   At UrbView, we're leveraging Partitioning-Based Clustering to revolutionize urban analysis, providing invaluable insights for city planners, businesses, and communities alike. 🌆💡   Join us as we continue to decode the language of cities and unlock their hidden potential! 🔓✨ #UrbanAnalytics #DataScience #UrbViewInsights 🏙️📊

How accessible are your local green spaces? In this guide, we utilize MAPOG's powerful isochrone mapping tools to evaluate and improve access to green spaces in urban areas. By integrating park location data with residential land use information, we generate isochrones to visualize the reach of existing green spaces based on travel time. This approach helps identify underserved areas and propose new park locations to enhance community access. MAPOG's seamless data integration and advanced visualization capabilities empower urban planners to create more equitable, healthy, and livable environments for all residents. Join us as we explore how isochrones can transform urban planning and green space accessibility. 📧 Need assistance?
