> [special issue] UNDERSTANDING HUMAN-URBAN ENVIRONMENT INTERACTIONS THROUGH GEOLOCATED SOCIAL MEDIA DATA<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n
On behalf of the open-access journal Sustainability (ISSN 2071-1050, Impact Factor 2.592), we are pleased to announce a new Special Issue entitled “Understanding Human-Urban Environment Interactions Through Geolocated Social Media Data”, coedited by Prof. Dr. Pablo Marti and Dr. Leticia Serrano-Estrada.<\/span><\/h6>\n
This Special Issue aims to bring together original research that contributes to the understanding of urban and human dynamics as they bridge digital and real behaviour in the use of city spaces. More specifically, it welcomes contributions that seek to advance the theoretical and empirical knowledge of urban phenomena through Location-Based Social Networks data, and are aligned with any of the following objectives:<\/span><\/h6>\n
\u2022 Aim to define novel methods and applications to approach city phenomena through social media sources;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Aim to provide up-to-date state of the art of the application of these sources to the study of city phenomena;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Aim to (critically) examine current limitations in the use of geolocated social media data for the study of the city and possible ways to overcome them;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Seek novel approaches to understand the perceptual aspects of the urban environment through LBNS sources;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Aim to monitor changes in the urban environment by studying phenomena at different points in time;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Aim to monitor urban transformation pre and post conditions through social media data;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Seek new methods to approach urban reality using LBSN sources in contrast to traditional ones;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Aim to characterize human\u2013urban environment interactions through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Aim to revisit traditional urban theories through social media-based studies;<\/span>
\n\u2022 Aim to define urban design-oriented strategies to ensure the sustainable development of cities.<\/span><\/h6>\n
> [workshop] URBAN METAMORPHOLOGY LAB ALICANTE\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n
Exploring social media data to map the invisible image of the city.\u00a0This workshop uses location-based social media data to unveil, map and study the meta-morphology of Alicante, Spain. Participants will use large datasets from Instagram, Twitter and Airbnb to find meta-trends in the use of outdoor and indoor spaces and map activity patterns using geographic information software. They will also carry out surveys to study the relations between urban amenities and the image of the place to gain a new understanding of the qualitative aspects of social practices and the narrative of urban spaces. +info<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n

The analysis of the urban public space from a perceptual dimension has traditionally been used to recognise its uniqueness and to identify which of its physical qualities promote activity and livability. This approach is particularly relevant in transformed urban settings. The perceived image of a space allows an assessment of the extent to which the social dynamics have been modified since its regeneration. Under this premise, the aim of this paper is to study urban life after the transformation of Calle San Francisco, in Alicante, Spain, into a recreational and thematic space\u00a0<\/span>characterized\u00a0by giant mushrooms. In order to accomplish this objective, three indicators of public life were evaluated: the building\u2019s economic activities before and after the intervention; the social use of the new space and the resulting public image \u2014or perceived image\u2014. A hybrid methodology is used which combines data collected from field work with data retrieved from technological sources \u2014the social network Instagram and the web service Google Street View\u2014. The overall results demonstrated that the use of both offline and online data enables confirmation,\u00a0<\/span>complementation<\/span>\u00a0and questioning of the partial results obtained from each method. Thus, it was evidenced that not only has the physical identity of Calle San Francisco been substantially modified, but also, its collective image in relation to the rest of the city. All in all, this research proves the relevance of understanding the complexity of today\u2019s physical and virtual social relations resulting from the transformation of an urban setting. \u00a0+info<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n

[February 8th \/ 10:30am \u00a0EP\/S-03D]\u00a0La forma de hacer ciudad es un proceso en crisis. Diferentes factores, desde cambios sociales, crisis de la pol\u00edtica o transformaci\u00f3n tecnol\u00f3gica, est\u00e1n contribuyendo a la materializaci\u00f3n de un conflicto entre las formas institucionales de gobernar y dar forma a las ciudades y las expectativas de la ciudadan\u00eda sobre el papel que quiere tener en la ciudad que vive. Son muchos los movimientos sociales, las disciplinas acad\u00e9micas, los proyectos o las teor\u00edas que est\u00e1n contribuyendo en los \u00faltimos tiempos a la formaci\u00f3n de un nuevo enfoque sobre c\u00f3mo hacer ciudad que vaya m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de las instituciones p\u00fablicas y del urbanismo como instancias centrales o \u00fanicas de hacer ciudad. Hacer ciudad ya no es \u00fanicamente un asunto de planificadores p\u00fablicos o de urbanistas en sentido estricto. Las metodolog\u00edas, conocimientos y teor\u00edas que dise\u00f1an y construyen la ciudad y sus proyectos en el d\u00eda a d\u00eda han desbordado el campo de acci\u00f3n de las ciencias urbanas tradicionales. Con estas premisas, la sesi\u00f3n quiere revisar m\u00e1s concretamente el impacto de las ciudades inteligentes como modelo urbano y su significado en las nuevas pr\u00e1cticas del urbanismo, la gesti\u00f3n de la ciudad, las din\u00e1micas de participaci\u00f3n ciudadana, etc. <\/span>+info<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n
