 Abstract Title: Exploring Patterns in Individual-based Activity Datasets: A Space-Time GIS Approach




Session Description: Originally designed to investigate various constraints of human activities in time
and space, the time-geographic framework provides an integrated space-time
environment to effectively and efficiently investigate the spatio-temporal
characteristics of human activities and their interactions. There have been
revived research interests in time geography in recent years. These research
efforts include extending the time-geographic framework to accommodate the
emerging hybrid environment of physical and virtual spaces, providing
computational models and representations of the framework, developing GIS
designs to implement the framework, and applying the framework to facilitate
studies such as travel behaviors, activity patterns, accessibility assessment,
urban structure, animal ecology, etc. This session will provide researchers a
forum to share experiences and exchange ideas on recent theoretical
developments, implementations, and applications of time geography.
