  2. 1. Discovering Contiguous Sequential Patterns in Network-Constrained Movement

    Author : Can Yang; Yifang Ban; Gyözö Gidofalvi; Xiaoliang Ma; Clas Rydergren; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; map matching; trajectory pattern mining; closed contiguous sequential pattern mining; trajectory pattern visualization; Geodesy and Geoinformatics; Geodesi och geoinformatik;

    Abstract : A large proportion of movement in urban area is constrained to a road network such as pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle. That movement information is commonly collected by Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor, which has generated large collections of trajectories. READ MORE

  4. 2. Spatial positioning : method development for spatial analysis of interaction in buildings

    Author : Henrik Markhede; Jesper Steen; John Peponis; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Architecture; Arkitektur;

    Abstract : In offices, knowledge sharing largely depends on everyday face-to-face interaction patterns. These interaction patterns may depend on how employees move through the office space. This thesis explores how these spatial relations influence individual choices with respect to employee movements or routes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Housing Layout and Space Use. A Study of Swedish and Chinese Neighbourhood Units

    Author : Min Ye; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; neighbourhood spatial layouts; Sweden; China; morphological structures;

    Abstract : Housing layouts designed as neighbourhood units are often assumed to be able to perform various practical and social functions. But whether the spatial pattern of the planned neighbourhoods itself can be given some explicit theoretical foundation and be subjected to functional formulation, is a problem which has been hardly tackled by architectural research.

  6. 4. By foot at ease : environmental affordances for wellbeing in walking

    Author : Thomas Höjemo; Beatriz Fedrizzi; Anna-Johanna Klasander; Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Walking has been shown to provide benefits for our health and also for the environment. Research has also shown that if the built environment is adapted for pedestrians, people walk more. However, there is a lack of qualitative research in architecture and urban design on walking at the micro (streetscape) scale. READ MORE

  7. 5. Compact sprawl : Exploring public open space and contradictions in urban density

    Author : Alexander Ståhle; Lars Marcus; Michael Batty; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Spatial morphology; Urban design; Public open space; Urban density; Landscape planning; Architecture; Arkitektur;

    Abstract : Twentieth century urbanization has left a tremendous footprint on the globe. It is generally speaking a spread out fragmented suburban and exurban landscape continuously growing according to what has been called sprawl-like development, increasing energy and automobile dependency, challenging urban sustainability.
