Urban vibrancy contributes towards a successful city and high-quality life for people as one of its vital elements. Therefore, the association between service facilities and vibrancy is crucial for urban managers to understand and improve city construction. Moreover, the rapid development of information and communications technology (ICT) allows researchers to easily and quickly collect a large volume of real-time data generated by people in daily life. In this study, against the background of emerging multi-source big data, we utilized Tencent location data as a proxy for 24-h vibrancy and adopted point-of-interest (POI) data to represent service facilities. An analysis framework integrated with ordinary least squares (OLS) and geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR) models is proposed to explore the spatiotemporal relationships between urban vibrancy and POI-based variables. Empirical results show that (1) spatiotemporal variations exist in the impact of service facilities on urban vibrancy across Guangzhou, China; and (2) GTWR models exhibit a higher degree of explanatory capacity on vibrancy than the OLS models. In addition, our results can assist urban planners to understand spatiotemporal patterns of urban vibrancy in a refined resolution, and to optimize the resource allocation and functional configuration of the city.

The Impact

In the context of the rapid development of renewable energy in Germany in the last decade, and increased concerns regarding its potential impacts on farmland prices, this paper investigates the impact of wind energy and biogas production on agricultural land purchasing prices. To quantify the possible impact of the cumulative capacity of wind turbines and biogas plants on arable land prices in Saxony-Anhalt, we estimate a community-based and a transaction-based model using spatial econometrics and ordinary least squares. Based on data from 2007 to 2016, our analysis shows that a higher cumulative capacity of wind turbines in communities leads to higher farmland transaction prices, though the effect is very small: if the average cumulative capacity of wind turbines per community doubles, we expect that farmland prices per hectare increase by 0.4%. Plots that are directly affected by a wind turbine or part of a regional development plan, however, experience strong price increases.

Traffic noise is one of the key determinants of apartment prices. The real estate market is highly sensitive to adverse environmental factors, which explains significant variations in apartment prices. The aim of this study was to identify the correlations between traffic noise levels and the prices of apartments traded on a local real estate market. The study analyzed three residential districts in the city of Olsztyn in north-eastern Poland. The database covered 5259 transactions concluded in 2005–2018. The collected data were standardized in terms of technical and functional parameters, and noise was the key factor differentiating the evaluated property. The relationships between the explained variable (apartment price) and the explanatory variable (traffic noise) were determined by linear correlation analysis. A negative correlation was noted, which confirms that a building’s location relative to the road network and, consequently, the level of traffic noise, is one of the factors that play a role in the potential buyers’ choice of property. The results of the study also indicate that the impact of traffic noise on the decisions made by real estate buyers continued to decrease in the analyzed period. Infrastructure projects in the city (construction of tramway lines and a ring road) have visibly reversed the previously observed trends and have decreased the strength of the above correlations in the evaluated residential districts. The values of the correlation coefficient were stabilized below the level noted in earlier stages of the analysis after the completion of the major infrastructure projects.

City isnt only relying on the geological environment, but also in constantly changing geological environment, city construction activities are one of the geological battalion strengths. City construction is equivalent to loading in constantly on the geological bodies which the city depends on. The transmission and distribution of Additional stress generated by load in geotechnical body is the root cause of security geological impact. The article created the models that load transmits in geotechnical medium, and use laboratory experiments to study the role of the load on the geotechnical body, on the basis of laboratory we analyzed the expression of city construction acts, including the conversion methods, mechanisms of the action, features of the action.

The Impact

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) operates 1,250 buses on 168 different routes between 10,600 bus stops to support around 370,000 passengers each day. Utilizing sensors on vehicles and analyzing their location and movements throughout an hour, trip, or day can provide valuable information to a transit authority as well as to the users of a transit system. This amount of information can be overwhelming, but utilizing big data techniques can empower the data and the transit agency. First, this paper develops a methodology for assessing previous delays in the system by applying big data structure and statistical analysis to the data constantly collected by WMATA buses. This method of analysis also helps quantify the impact of potential transit system improvements. Second, the paper describes a model that uses the real-time data, that represents potential delays, to provide future passengers with more accurate arrival predictions despite delays. These analyses are powerful tools for agencies and planners to assess and improve transit service performance using big data analytics and real-time predictions.

The work on the impact of innovative solutions in urban transport on the inhabitants’ quality of life was discussed. This paper presents the characteristics of the use of shared vehicles in the agglomeration, based on the example of the Tri-City. An analysis of vehicles’ use in given periods of time was performed, indicating the growing interest in using this type of transport in the city. The work was divided into four chapters. The first part concerns the history of travel and urban development. The second discusses all currently available communication solutions in cities. The third chapter contains the research part. It focuses on presenting changes in vehicle availability over a more extended period. The fourth chapter describes the functioning of cars “for minutes” and the operation and use of dedicated mobile applications. The work ended with a summary of theoretical and cognitive content. A significant contribution is a brief analysis of the shared car market in the Tri-City. The available options are characterized. Also, the degree of use has been analyzed. The study concluded with theses about the further rapid development of this industry in northern Poland.
