In this section we present our computational results of the properties of the proposed socio-spatial network models and compare them with those of ER, SW, and BA networks when it is appropriate. More specifically, we measure clustering coefficient, network density, average path length, assortativity, transitivity, and min, max, mean, and standard deviation degree. While several algorithms have been proposed for some of these measures, for simplicity of reproducing the results, we use the algorithms that have been implemented in the Python’s Networkx library. All results are averaged over 25 independent model runs with different random seeds. It should be noted that in all analysis in this study we only consider undirected networks. Moreover, since the focus of this study is on the human social network, we limit our analysis to Onnela et al’s (2011) findings that α ≈ 1.5 and only consider three values of α = 1.2, 1.5, and 2 for our sensitivity analysis purposes. 4-1- Properties of the Spatial Erdös-Rényi Network In this subsection we compute and report the characteristics of our proposed SER social network in terms of empirical regularity measures. ER and SER networks have different parameters, so pairwise comparisons are not possible. However, computing and comparing their network properties can provide valuable insights about their behavior under considered parameter settings. Here we report network properties for three different values of connection probability p in the ER
There are many factors that have contributed to my social location. The main ones that come to mind are my social class, my racial background, and my education. All around us are people who come from different areas of the world, or same areas of the world with very different demographics.
As a young man, while living and working with various ethnicities, I learned that certain elements of social location cannot be altered and this can affect our reality. It has been my personal experience that the social location of a particular group of people may generate a very different set of values and beliefs for them to a group in a different social location. Thus, this principle can help us to better understand our worldview and its effects on the way we view and interpret other cultures.
The concept of edge city was first proposed by Garneau Joel, a Washington Post reporter, in his book, published in 1991. From this later on the edge of the concept of the city began to become clear. Due to the rapid development of urban economy, the huge increase in the number of population, the edge of the city gradually become the emerging trend of urban development, urban function in the space dispersion and regional network of combination, contributed to a new pattern of the city development. And this development to promote the urban spatial structure from single center to the evolution of multi center, forming a separate nodes in the network area is not only the city on the edge of the city and and the urban periphery produced inevitable connection and communication, is a new form of most developed countries more than urban center development. In this report, first of all, the background and the concept of edge city are described, and how to define the concept of edge city is described. Through the analysis of the case and data on the development of the edge of the city 's problems are studied and discussed, and the relevant solutions are given.
When I begin to think about social location I instantly think about where I’m from, and where I was raised. Social location means much more than that. It is your race, age, sex, social class, religion, sexual orientation, and so much more. Social location varies from person to person and everyone plays their own role in their social location lifestyle.
a. Social location/pg. 3: the group memberships that people have because of their location in history and society. This term was represented specifically in many parts of the documentary. The migrant workers are able to live better off when they live in groups. The group’s sizes do vary but it tends to be a bit larger than the normal size of an average American family. The migrant workers live this way because of the wages that they earn. The more members of the group they have the more money they will bring in from working in the fields. The social location relates to the migrant workers in very direct ways. This happens because of how they are classified in society. The migrants feel as if the fruit and vegetable fields are their
Social Location: A Key to Our Identity? Each and every person is unique. There are several factors that contribute to what makes a person special and different from another individual. These factors include our personality and our social location.
One social location that influenced my live would have to be occupation. Working at a young age has made me a more responsible and independent person.
Social Location is “the group memberships that people have because of their location in history and society”. (Henslin) Status Set is “all the statuses or positions that an individual occupies” (Henslin), such as simultaneously being a mother or father, son or daughter, a worker, or a student. These concepts relate because these sets of statuses are bound to change as particular statuses change, such as occupation or marital status. Ethnicity, sex/gender, citizenship, place of birth/residence and occupation are all influencers when it comes to our status because they all play a role in who we are and what position we entitle. These different characteristics form a framework for living in a society, and have a direct influence on my status, just like it does on every one else. For example, my place of residence, gender, and occupation have defined how I act and feel. I am a strong, caring, independent women from the factors of how I was raised, and my position in life.
Based on the Dense Network Paradox, this denser networks caused more deviance than reducing it because
The way in which my social location can impact my relationship with Asif is my gender and perceived age. In the case study, Asif stated that he feels shy and uncomfortable speaking to women his age. If he is feeling uncomfortable, that could hinder the communication process while counseling (Walsh, 2013). The fact that I am both a woman and close to his age could magnify the feelings that he has expressed. Even though I am twenty-five years old, I do appear much younger than my age. When counseling with Asif, he may experience difficulty communicating with me because I look to be close to his age. Asif has strong emotional reactions, and it may be difficult to get him to see how his thoughts are the root of the fear that he is experiencing.
Everyone comes from a different town. Some people live in small towns and others come from towns that are huge. In each town there is a different story. Every town has its own history, its own traditions, and its own way of life. Each town is filled with different people and different resources that make up its community. One very special community is a town called Westminster. It is a town filled with tradition and a lot of history. Westminster is populated by a wide variety of people that make up its special community.
Destinations, for instance, Delicious, Digg, Slashdot, Diigo, Stumbleupon and Reddit are standard social bookmarking districts used as a piece of internet systems administration headway. Each of these regions is focused on the collection, curation, and relationship of associations with various destinations. This strategy is crowdsourced, allowing people to sort and compose joins by significance and general order. As a result of the considerable customer bases of these locales, any association beginning with one of them then onto
Social Disorganization theory has its roots in urban ecology and Burgess’s concentric model. As part of the positivist paradigm of criminology, it poses a scientific examination of the connection of social disorganization and crime mediated by structural factors. The macro-level research concludes that a weakening of social bonds between an individual and institutions of socialization will lead to delinquency. Over time, there has been much empirical support for the theory and extensions have been made to include more reliable measures of social disorganization within a community. This paper will discuss the origins of the theory developed by Shaw and McKay, then move forward to prominent empirical support, social disorganization research on suburban areas and lead up to valid criticism of the theory. Finally, there will be an examination of the policy implications originally posed and a proposal towards a more integrated approach addressing causes for social disorganization through the critical paradigm of criminology.
Edge city was first put forward by Joel Garneau, a reporter of Washington Post, in his published book in 1991 and then its meaning started to be crystal clear. Due to the rapid development of urban economy and surge of population, edge city has gradually become the emergent trend of urban development. The dispersion of urban functional space and combination of regional network has facilitated a totally new model of urban development, which thus promotes the evolution of urban spatial structure from single center to multi-center. The formation of edge is not only an independent node in the urban network area but also a necessary way to connect and communicate with peripheral cities as well as a new form of multi-center development in cities of the most developed countries. This report will firstly describe the background of the edge city’s emergence and its concept as well as how to define this concept and then study and discuss the problems appearing during edge city development through analysis of cases and data in order to offer relevant solution schemes.
In the recent times, there is a rapid growth of location based social networking applications such as Twitter, Yelp and Foursquare, which have an increasing number of social media users. Nowadays, fundamental activity of the modern society is to measure the movement of the people(Lun et al.). The study of mobility behavior and travel activity analysis can be done by developing Origin-Destination (OD) models and to investigate their performance using location based social network data which is capable with the potential to provide traffic design with higher spatial and temporary resolution at lower cost than traditional methods of survey(Kheiri, Karimipour, and Forghani 2015). This data was applied to analyze the trip attraction for the
