“…The practical implication of the introduced methodology is in line with the 'opportunistic approach' discussed above. Based on this approach, planner's and designer's task is planning, designing, or re-developing the built environment in a way that provides opportunities for socialising and interaction (Southworth et al 2012;Arnheim 2009;Talen and Ellis 2002;Jacobs 2000).…”

This paper investigates spatial, temporal, age, and gender pattern of outdoor social activities in urban neighbourhoods and their correlation with properties of urban form. Informed by theories and mapping techniques in urban sociology, urban design, and behavioural research, it develops a methodology for mapping outdoor social activities and applies it to four case studies in London and Berlin. Findings demonstrate how different types of activities are spatially distributed, reflecting socio-spatial characteristics of the given neighbourhood. The paper elaborates the contribution of the research to ongoing debates such as gendered space and age-friendly communities and suggests methodological improvements for future research.

“…Much early research has been directed to the study of noise and noisy environments with a special focus on city noise [ 6 , 12 , 13 ], but also here there has been a shift from the study of mere noisy spaces to a conception of the soundscape as resource, addressing not only noise avoidance, but rather sound quality of urban environments. Soundscape analysis, in this view, places sound in context with the listeners’ sensational reality depending on their socio-cultural background and the psychological dimension of the acoustical setting and with as major question “What does this feature of the environment mean to me?” [ 2 , 14 ].…”

Music as Environment: An Ecological and Biosemiotic Approach

This paper provides an attempt to conceive of music in terms of a sounding environment. Starting from a definition of music as a collection of vibrational events, it introduces the distinction between discrete-symbolic representations as against analog-continuous representations of the sounds. The former makes it possible to conceive of music in terms of a Humboldt system, the latter in terms of an experiential approach. Both approaches, further, are not opposed to each other, but are complementary to some extent. There is, however, a distinction to be drawn between the bottom-up approach to auditory processing of environmental sounds and music, which is continuous and proceeding in real time, as against the top-down approach, which is proceeding at a level of mental representation by applying discrete symbolic labels to vibrational events. The distinction is discussed against the background of phylogenetic and ontogenetic claims, with a major focus on the innate auditory capabilities of the fetus and neonate and the gradual evolution from mere sensory perception of sound to sense-making and musical meaning. The latter, finally, is elaborated on the basis of the operational concepts of affordance and functional tone, thus bringing together some older contributions from ecology and biosemiotics.

“…It is interesting to note that the exploitation pattern of restaurants in this place is similar to that of bars, that is, many restaurants in this area are also not closed even after midnight. The ndings above show that our proposed scheme can provide urban planners who seek for static conguration and dynamic exploitation of urban places [16,17], and urban tourists who want to visit places that match with their daily interest with helpful insights [18].…”

Point of interest (POI) in an urban space represents the perception of city dwellers and visitors of a certain place. LTE cell tower access trace data is one of the promising data sources which has the potential to show real-time POI exploitation analysis. However, there is not much discussion on how it is correlated to diachronic POIs and their exploitation pattern. In this paper, we first show that the access trace pattern from the LTE cell tower can be used to discover which types of POIs exist in a certain area. Then, we propose a daily POI exploitation discovery scheme which can extract patterns of how POIs are daily used. Our analysis can provide a good insight into future urban space-based services such as urban planning and tourism.
