In order to discuss or evaluate policies for a smart city (e.g. urban transport systems), it is effective to develop an agent-based simulation that can reproduce individual travel behavior and social interaction. An activity-travel data is needed to develop a behavior model, but it is becoming difficult to collect these data over a long time period. This study proposes a web system to collect easily individual schedule data with travel information. Our proposed system has some characteristics, 1) travel information (e.g. which route is better to choose in this time) is recommended automatically based on the concept of prism when user inserts new schedule, 2) researchers can utilize users' schedule data as an activity-travel data without a special survey. From the result of evaluation of our developed system, some students are satisfied with its usability and operability.

In this paper, we examine the role of social networking on the adoption of sustainability policies and related strategies that organizations implement. There is a growing consensus among corporate leaders that taking action on climate change is a responsible business decision and in many respects, it is a necessary action because of the increasing requirements for organisations to report on their environmental profile. As reported in the literature, social networking and board interlocks affect the way companies make decisions in relation to financial matters. In this paper we examine whether this relation can also be extended to environmental performance and environmental decision making. Using a sample of 310 companies from USA for 2008 our results shows preliminary evidence that this relationship indeed exist. More specifically, we show that companies that are highly connected also tend have formal structures for environmental governance, such as, clear environmental targets and related performance incentives, and also count with several dissemination mechanisms for such actions and policies, including corporate website and 'green' contents and targets, as well as formal ways of reporting, such as annual 'green' reports. Moreover, these so called 'green' companies not only are highly connected to each other, but also, in relation to financial performance, tend to be of major size (measured as the total assets) and have higher return on equity compared to their unconnected and not so environmentally friendly peers.
