“…On the other hand, the k-NN algorithm and neural networks would be the most suitable supervised techniques. Neural networks are commonly used to predict user behavior (Sicilia and Garcia, 2004), but as behavior is not to be predicted, the best technique would be a k-NN algorithm. K-NN is a predictive technique suitable for classification (Friedman et al, 1975).…”

Traditional urban planning methodologies cannot solve today's planning challenges that cities pose. Citizens' needs have substantially changed the last decade while urban planning methods have remained the same since the 70s. A more citizen-centric urban planning is presented in this paper. To that end, and to effectively deal with citizens' larger data needed for the urban planning methodological reinvention, interdisciplinary work is supported with information and communication technologies. We conducted a survey of citizens on urban time-use (Marsal MLl and Ló pez MB (2014) Smart urban planning: Designing urban-land-use from urban time-use. Journal of Urban Technology 21(1): 39-54). The results on urban-time-use distribution were converted into urban-land-uses as pioneering methodology for the reinvention of urban planning methodologies. In order to get the highest voluntary participation from citizens to ensure a good representation of all ages and social groups, the survey Time & Society 0(0) 1-23 !

The adaptive hypermedia techniques we propose in this paper combine stereotype and featurebased models which we explore for the purpose to include them in the survey. The combination of stereotype and feature-based models has different advantages, among others: stereotype techniques avoid to initiate survey profiles from scratch and feature-based techniques allow a personalized questionnaire to be employed. Moreover, personalization, in combination with user profiles, allows prediction which is of great interest for this research due to its planning purposes.

“…The interaction in informal settings can be used to derive social models (Sicilia & García, 2004) The interactions in discussion can be used to measure the degree of 'proximity' between members. The rationale of the activities can be justified in terms of SocialTies inside SocialNetworks.…”

Semantic learning designs: recording assumptions and guidelines

Recent developments in the standardization of learning technology have resulted in models of learning activities and resources including descriptive metadata and definitions of conditional flows for multi-role activities. Nonetheless, such learning designs are actually representations of the results of the design process and do not provide information about the rationale of the design, i.e. about the theoretical standpoints, assumptions or guidelines applied to come up with the concrete arrangement of activities. These latter elements are critical not only for informative reasons, but as a medium towards the end of connecting theories and hypotheses to actual practice and analyzing the resulting empirical data as a form of inquiry on the validity of theoretical assumptions. This paper delineates the main aspects of a schema for the recording of such design rationales using an ontological approach. The method for the engineering of the schema was based on connecting the definitions provided with an existing large ontological base, thus reusing a large amount of commonsense knowledge. Two paradigmatic example positions of the range of aspects that could be covered by the representation language are described as an illustration. The resulting ontological definitions can be used as a foundation for the refinement of theoretical positions and for their comparative assessment.
