Characterizing residential segregation in cities using intensity, separation, and scale indicators

This paper proposes a method to characterize residential segregation patterns along three dimensions: intensity, separation, and scale. These dimensions designate respectively the over-representation of a group in segregated regions, the proportion of people from that group living in these regions, and the spatial extent of these regions. We...

Spatial clustering of waste reuse in a circular economy: A spatial autocorrelation analysis on locations of waste reuse in the Netherlands using global and local Moran’s I

In recent years, implementing a circular economy in cities has been considered by policy makers as a potential solution for achieving sustainability. Existing literature on circular cities is mainly focused on two perspectives: urban governance and urban metabolism. Both these perspectives, to some extent, miss an understanding of space. A...

Exploring Demand Patterns of a Ride-Sourcing Service using Spatial and Temporal Clustering

On-demand transit has become a common mode of transport with ride-sourcing companies like Uber, Lyft, Didi transforming the way we move. With the increase in popularity for such services, the supply needs to adapt according to the demand. For this, the demand needs to analyzed to examine if there are recurrent patterns in them; making it...

Exploring demand patterns of a ride-sourcing service using spatial and temporal clustering

On-demand transport has become a common mode of transport with ride-sourcing companies like Uber, Lyft and Didi transforming the mobility market. Recurrent patterns in prevailing demand patterns can be used by service providers to better anticipate future demand distribution and thus support demand-Anticipatory fleet management strategies. To...
