Although information has been used as a strategy to influence short-term travel behavior, there is a paucity of research on whether information can result in long-term behavioral changes. To examine the impact of providing information on location choices and travel behaviors we used an...

Using 2007 travel-diary data from metropolitan Chicago, I investigate what aspects of urban form contribute most to community completeness, as defined by internal tour capture for nonwork tours. I examine two distinct geographic scales: census-defined ‘places’, and synthetically constructed...

The combination of growing mobility needs and dwindling transportation budgets in the Dutch Delta Metropolis has raised the need for smarter use of existing public transport infrastructure. A significant portion of this smarter use may come from strengthening the ties between infrastructure...

Many complex networks demonstrate a phenomenon of striking degree correlations: that is, a node tends to link to other nodes with similar (or dissimilar) degrees. From the perspective of degree correlations, in this paper we attempt to characterize topological structures of urban street...

We report a study designed to test whether visitors to virtual exhibition environments are sensitive to patterns of display covisibility. We show that visitors’ assessment of the clarity of presentation of a pictorial theme is associated with the degree of covisibility of member works. We also...

An algorithm has been developed to generate, without external intervention, a road and land-use plan for a regular or irregular site. It starts from an ‘embryo’ and grows a plan rather than trying to modify an initial solution. The basic modules are universal building blocks which change and...

<b>Ab</b><b>s</b><b>t</b><b>ract</b><b>.</b> Crime tends to cluster in small areas. Police have taken advantage of this by identifying these ‘hotspots’ of crime and concentrating their resources in these locations. This practice has shown evidence of reducing crime in the hotspot area. While it is possible that the benefits...

A data-adaptive multiscale spatial decomposition model is proposed to deal with skew-distributed data (eg, population or GDP). Relying on the filtering characteristics according to the bandwidth change of kernel smoothing, the parallel spatial kernel smoothing with different bandwidths is...

One of the difficult tasks in urban renewal is land assembly because it requires consent from landowners. The major obstacle for negotiation comes from the fact that some landowners ask higher than market price for their land. The characteristics of landowners are classified into two types...
