Andershad, H., Kerr, M., & Stattin, H. (2001). Bullying in school and violence on the streets: Are the same people involved? Journal of Scandinavian Studies in Criminology & Crime Prevention, 2(1), 31-49. • From abstract: “Results show that bullying others in school was strongly linked to violent behaviour and weapon-carrying on the streets, both among boys and girls. It was also found that bul...

Various themed streets have recently been developed by local governments in order to stimulate local economies and to establish the identity of the corresponding places. However, the motivations behind the development of some of these themed street projects has been based on profit, without full considerations of people’s perceptions of their local areas, resulting in marginal effects on the lo...

Over the past years, user-generated content has gained more prominence in the area of geographic information science. In many geo-spatial applications, sketch maps are considered an intuitive user interaction modality. As typically only qualitative relations are persevered in sketch maps, processing spatial information on qualitative level has been suggested. The information represented in sket...

Centrality has revealed crucial for understanding the structural properties of complex relational networks. Centrality is also relevant for various spatial factors affecting human life and behaviors in cities. Here, we present a comprehensive study of centrality distributions over geographic networks of urban streets. Five different measures of centrality, namely degree, closeness, betweenness,...

O of the most successful transportation systems management (TSM) actions in recent years has been the priority treatment of high-occupancy vehicles (HOVS), The priority treatments typically have been either the provision of dedicated through-travel lanes or queue bypass lanes at roadway capacity restrictions. Through the use of priority measures, HOVS (buses, vanpools and carpools) are given tw...

Flooding in urban areas is an inevitable problem for many cities in Asia. In Bangladesh, Dhaka has serious problems related to urban flooding. The situation was highlighted in September 1996 when residences experienced ankle to kneedeep water on the streets. Daily activities in parts of the city were nearly paralyzed and heavy traffic jams occurred due to stagnant water on the streets. The stud...

Deterministic equilibrium flows in transport networks can be investigated by means of Markov's processes defined on the dual graph representations of the network. Sustained movement patterns are generated by a subset of automorphisms of the graph spanning the spatial network of a city naturally interpreted as random walks. Random walks assign absolute scores to all nodes of a graph and embed sp...

The location of the author of a social media message is not invariably the same as the location that the author writes about in the message. In applications that mine these messages for information such as tracking news, political events or responding to disasters, it is the geographic content of the message rather than the location of the author that is important. To this end, we present a met...
