  NYC Cab Flow Data Cartography, Data, Geodemographics | (1)

  NYC Yellow Cabs have GPS fitted to them which have been tracked for the past year or so... anyway, there is an excellent article on this in the New York Times with obligatory map visualization: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/03/nyregion/03icab.html map (http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/04/02/nyregion/taxi-map.html?ref=nyregion) If we assume that taxi are the generally present in areas where people are, this could be a useful source of population mobility and certainly the sort of data which may be useful in real-time geodemographics.

  Areaprofiles Geodemographics | (0)

  I have just finished creating and adding some content to my new blog Areaprofiles which will provide discussion on the use and creation of geodemographic and neighborhood classifications. You will note an American spelling of neighbourhood in the last sentence and the blog will also have an international flavour. Although area classification feature on other geomarketing blogs, these are predominantly focused on commercial applications. Thus, the main thrust of this blog will be about how area classification have utility for investigation of the form and function of cities rather than how they can be used to sell more units of ...

  MSN Local a Crime? GIS, Geodemographics, Neogeography | (1)

  Somehow this passed me by but http://local.uk.msn.com/ now includes some socio-economic data at a national level. The crime information is worth a look and appears created from Experian data using the British Crime Survey rather than actual crime occurrences - then interpolated some how into a surface. Additionally, when you click the map, the data returned includes a series of the long descriptive profiles for the Mosaic Types or Groups within the "area" (however defined). I really do worry about these types of commercial representation, specifically given the lack of detail over the methods used and the potential consequences of their erroneous ...

  Moving to real time segmentation: efficient computation of geodemographic classification GIS, Geodemographics | (0)

  Two prizes came from the UCL camp at this years GISRUK. The previously mentioned mashup, and also the prize for the best young research paper by my student Adnan - titled: "Moving to real time segmentation: efficient computation of geodemographic classification - M Adnan, A D Singleton, C Brunsdon and P A Longley".

  Ordnance Survey Geospatial Mashup Challenge Classification, Education, GIS, Geodemographics, Neogeography, Presentations | (2)

  Today was a jolly nice day with Ollie and I winning the Ordnance Survey Geospatial Mashup Challenge at GISRUK 2009. There were some really good entries and I was quite surprised with the result. One site which really impressed me was: "User Adaptive Trip Planner -Ramya Venkateswaran, Pia Bereuter, University of Zurich - hopefully this will be online soon". Our winning site is was titled "Contextualising Educational Careers for Widening Participation in Higher Education", however is really a nice educational atlas. This should be online soon with luck, but here are a few slides to view for now: Contextualising Educational Careers for ...

  Virtual Geodemographics: Repositioning Area Classification for Online and Offline Spaces GIS, Geodemographics, Neogeography, Paper | (0)

  I have just published a new working paper: Abstract: Computer mediated communication and the Internet has fundamentally changed how consumers and producers connect and interact across both real space, and has also opened up new opportunities in virtual spaces. This paper describes how technologies capable of locating and sorting networked communities of geographically disparate individuals within virtual communities present a sea change in the conception, representation and analysis of socioeconomic distributions through geodemographic analysis. We argue that through virtual communities, social networks between individuals may subsume the role of neighbourhood areas as the most appropriate units of analysis, and as such, geodemographics ...
