This article presents a machine-learning-based detector of rescue requests from Harvey-related Twitter messages, which differentiates itself from existing ones by accounting for the potential impacts of ZIP codes on both the preparation of training samples and the performance of different machine learning models. We investigate how the outcomes of our ZIP code filtering differ from those of a recent, comparable study in terms of generating training data for machine learning models. Following this, experiments are conducted to test how the existence of ZIP codes would affect the performance of machine learning models by simulating different percentages of ZIP-code-tagged positive samples. The findings show that (1) all machine learning classifiers except K-nearest neighbors and Naïve Bayes achieve state-of-the-art performance in detecting rescue requests from social media; (2) using ZIP code filtering could increase the effectiveness of gathering rescue requests for training machine learning models; (3) machine learning models are better able to identify rescue requests that are associated with ZIP codes. We thereby encourage every rescue-seeking victim to include ZIP codes when posting messages on social media. This study is a useful addition to the literature and can be helpful for first responders to rescue disaster victims more efficiently.

However, since Twitter data has been deemed to be unverifiable and untrustworthy, it is challenging to identify those reliable and relevant tweets that can inform emergency response operations. Although computational methods exist both to classify overwhelming amounts of tweets and to filter those relevant to emergency response, using contextual geographic information regarding the disaster event to filter tweets has been overlooked. We review the existing research on the quality of data contributed by the general public from a geographical perspective, and then propose an approach to prioritize tweets for emergency response based on their relevance and reliability. The novelty of the approach is twofold: a) the use of both authoritative data such as hazard-related information and on-the-ground reports provided by weather spotters and validated by the National Weather Service; and b) the fact that it leverages tweets content as well as their geographical context and location. Using Hurricane Harvey in 2017 as a case study, results show that by following the proposed approach 79% of tweets sent from post-identified flooded areas were classified as of high or medium relevance and reliability. This suggests that the proposed approach can provide an accurate prioritization of tweets to be used for real time emergency management.

Detecting spatiotemporal traffic events using geosocial media data / Shishuo Xu in Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, vol 94 (June 2022)

Geosocial media data improve road safety by providing timely updates for traffic flow and traffic control. Recent studies on traffic event detection with geosocial media data have been focused around keyword-based query approaches, where the event content was inferred by predetermined categories, to retrieve relevant traffic events. Spatiotemporal features associated with traffic-related posts have not been fully investigated. In this study, we filtered irrelevant posts with association rules. A spatiotemporal clustering-based method was then used to retrieve traffic events from these filtered posts, where the content of detected events was automatically inferred with a set of representative terms. For comparison, a typical text classification-based method was also used by classifying the posts filtered from association rules into different categories. By validating the detection results with vehicle travel speed data, we demonstrate that the former outperforms the latter in terms of the number of correctly detected traffic events from one-year of Twitter data in Toronto, Canada. Our proposed approach helps organizations and governments to be aware of when and where traffic events occur by identifying event hotspots and peak periods, which improves both traffic management and urban planning.

The effect of intra-urban mobility flows on the spatial heterogeneity of social media activity: investigating the response to rainfall events / Sidgley Camargo de Andrade in International journal of geographical information science IJGIS, vol 36 n° 6 (June 2022)

This study investigates the spatial heterogeneity of social media with regard to the regular intra-urban movements of residents by means of a case study of rainfall-related Twitter activity in São Paulo, Brazil. We apply a spatial autoregressive model that uses population and income as covariates and intra-urban mobility flows as spatial weights to explain the spatial distribution of the social response to rainfall events in Twitter vis-à-vis rainfall radar data. Results show high spatial heterogeneity in the response of social media to rainfall events, which is linked to intra-urban inequalities. Our model performance (R2=0.80) provides evidence that urban mobility flows and socio-economic indicators are significant factors to explain the spatial heterogeneity of thematic spatiotemporal patterns extracted from social media. Therefore, urban analytics research and practice should consider not only the influence of socio-economic profile of neighborhoods but also the spatial interaction introduced by intra-urban mobility flows to account for spatial heterogeneity when using social media data.

Human movement patterns of different racial-ethnic and economic groups in U.S. top 50 populated cities: What can social media tell us about isolation? / Meiliu Wu in Annals of GIS, vol 28 n° 2 (April 2022)

Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Meiliu Wu, Auteur ; Qunying Huang, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 161 - 183 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Analyse spatiale [Termes IGN] analyse de groupement [Termes IGN] données issues des réseaux sociaux [Termes IGN] données socio-économiques [Termes IGN] Etats-Unis [Termes IGN] ethnie [Termes IGN] migration humaine [Termes IGN] mobilité territoriale [Termes IGN] sociologie [Termes IGN] Twitter Résumé : (auteur) Many studies have proven that human movement patterns are strongly impacted by individual socioeconomic and demographic background. While many efforts have been made on exploring the influences of age and gender on movement patterns using social media, this study aims to analyse and compare the movement patterns among different racial-ethnic and economic groups using social media (i.e. geotagged tweets) from the U.S. top 50 populated cities. Results show that there are significant differences in number of activity zones and median travel distance across cities and demographic groups, and that power-laws tend to be captured in both spatial and demographic aspects. Additionally, the analysis of outbound-city travels demonstrates that some cities have slightly stronger interaction with others, and that economically disadvantaged populations and racial-ethnic minorities are more restricted in long distance travels, indicating that their spatial mobility is more limited to the local scale. Lastly, an economically-segregated movement pattern is discovered – upper-class neighbourhoods are mostly visited by the upper-class, while lower-class neighbourhoods are mainly accessed by the lower-class – but some racial-ethnic groups can diversify this segregated pattern in the local scale.
