Call for abstracts
Human interaction with urban environments has been a central topic in urban studies (Pattison, 1964). Geographers have explored the interactions between humans and their surroundings, investigating how individuals adapt to, modify, and influence their environment, while also considering how environmental factors shape human activities and cultural practices (Tuan, 1975). Recent advancements in GIS technologies, coupled with the increasing availability of diverse datasets—such as remote sensing imagery, geotagged search engine data, social media content, mobility data, and street-level imagery—have enabled novel approaches to studying place identity, residents’ mobility, and social perceptions (e.g., sense of belonging, community emotions).Moreover, the use of computational techniques, including machine learning and deep learning, has significantly improved our ability to interpret and model complex interactions.
This session aims to be a forum for discussing the integration of multi-source geospatial big data and GIS techniques to advance our understanding of human-urban interaction. We welcome submissions that explore innovative methodologies, theoretical perspectives, and practical applications in this field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Multi-Source Geospatial Big Data for Extracting Human Behaviour/ Perception
- Remote sensing
- Street-level imagery
- Social media data
- Mobility data
- GIS, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning for Human-Environment Interaction
- Human mobility
- Human perception and social sensing
- Social interaction
- Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)
