Museums often suffer from so-called "hyper-congestion", wherein the number of visitors exceeds capacity physical space museum. This can potentially deteriorate quality visitor's experience disturbed by other visitors' behaviors and presences. Although this situation be mitigated managing flow between spaces, a detailed analysis movement is required to fully realize apply proper solution problem. paper analyzes sequential movements, spatial layout, relationship them in large-scale art museums...
Urban greenery is considered an important factor in sustainable development and people’s quality of life the city. To account for urban green vegetation, Green View Index (GVI), which captures visibility at street level, has been used. However, as GVI point-based estimation, when aggregated area-level by mean or median, it sensitive to location sampled sites, overweighing values densely located sites. make estimation more robust, this study aims (1) propose improved indicator (standardized...
As is often believed that the more centrally located a shop, higher its sales volume, this paper analyzed relationships between spatial clustering of retail stores, their respective transaction volumes, and urban street networks to determine whether, what extent, accessibility density store’s location was correlated with volume. While hypothesis widely accepted, veracity underexplored rarely validated using large-scale empirical datasets, possibly owing lack access. Therefore, datasets...
Art museum professionals traditionally rely on observations and surveys to enhance their knowledge of visitor behavior experience. However, these approaches often produce spatially temporally limited empirical evidence measurements. Only recently has the ubiquity digital technologies revolutionized ability collect data about human behavior. Consequently, greater availability large-scale datasets based quantifying visitors' provides new opportunities apply computational comparative analytical...
In this article, we introduce the method of urban association rules and its uses for extracting frequently appearing combinations stores that are visited together to characterize shoppers’ behaviors. The Apriori algorithm is used extract (i.e. if -> result) from customer transaction datasets in a market-basket analysis. An application our large-scale anonymized bank card dataset enables us output linked trips shopping all over city: predict other shops most likely be by given particular...
The chemical compositions of <TEX>$PM_{2.5}$</TEX> and <TEX>$PM_{10}$</TEX> associated high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated during winter summer at a roadside an urban background site in Saitama, Japan. average concentrations exceeded the United States Environmental Protection Agency standards both periods. Carbonaceous components abundant observed calculated (by means mass closure model) composition <TEX>$PM_{2.5}$</TEX>. Traffic-related pollutants...
This study attempts to formally quantify Jane Jacob’s notion of urban diversity and examine whether greater actually contributes economic benefits a neighborhood. Focusing on the number types stores at street level, we use Shannon–Weaver index commercial diversity. We then compare obtained degrees with store sales volumes through credit card transaction data aggregated in neighborhood divided into 200-m grid. The results analysis, performed 50 Spanish cities, show that grid, higher stores,...
The influence of the Internet Things (IoT) and related produced data is destined to revolutionize economic social society, even more incisively than advent digital. creation IoT world would have been much complicated if a big structure had not followed since latter allows analyze vast amounts data. most significant flow information collected on and, therefore, largest supplier for systems, artificial intelligence (AI), science.

コミュニケイティブプランニングの普及に従い、都市計画やまちづくりにおいて住民参加の重要性が高まっている。本研究では、2020年にバルセロナから日本に導入された住民参加のためのオンラインプラットフォーム「Decidim」に着目し、3つの先進的な事例からDecidimの日本での活用実態を明らかにする。導入者へのインタビューやDecidim上のコメントの分析から、Decidimの利用における効果や課題を明らかにした。日本では、様々な目的や方法でDecidmが導入され、参加の間口を広げることに寄与していた。一方で、行政や住民による受け入れ体制やDecidimの「使い方」、カスタマイズ方法に課題があることが明らかになった。日本におけるDecidimは、熟議のためのツールではなく、共感のためのツールであると言える。
Objective To evaluate the effect of oral administration tolterodine on diurnal micturition characteristics male and female conscious rat, to examine relative in influencing water consumption urine production. Materials methods Baseline volume frequency nine 10 Sprague‐Dawley age‐matched adult rats (body weight 399 ± 15 249 3 g, respectively) were evaluated over 24‐h. Initial hydration conditions standardized with an dose (5 mL) water. Rats subsequently placed a metabolic cage had free access...
