Abstract
The planning ethos of providing proximity-based services to all inhabitants has been prevailing recently, and underlines the importance of knowing areal differences in collective activity space (AS) of populations. Mobile phone signaling data (MSD) has great potentials for this end, especially in mega-cities with fast changing and spatially varying demographic composition. However, two problems need to be addressed when applying MSD-based AS measurement for planning practices, including the identification of regularly visited locations and the selection of measure indices. This paper proposes a three-step workflow to apply the MSD to measure local collective AS with considering addressing the problems. This three-step workflow aims to illustrate the procedure of using MSD to measure collective AS for supporting planning practice in urban China, with clarifying some key concerns when doing so. We apply the workflow to examine the spatial heterogeneity of the collective AS in Shenzhen City and discuss the transferability of the workflow in different social and institutional contexts.
期刊介绍:
Travel Behaviour and Society is an interdisciplinary journal publishing high-quality original papers which report leading edge research in theories, methodologies and applications concerning transportation issues and challenges which involve the social and spatial dimensions. In particular, it provides a discussion forum for major research in travel behaviour, transportation infrastructure, transportation and environmental issues, mobility and social sustainability, transportation geographic information systems (TGIS), transportation and quality of life, transportation data collection and analysis, etc.
