Our paper Measuring Inter-City Network Using Digital Footprints from Twitter Users has been accepted by the ACM SIGSPATIAL Workshop on Prediction of Human Mobility (PredictGIS), which will be held in Seattle, WA, November, 2018.
In this paper, a new method that uses Twitter users’ movement as measurement to measure hierarchical city connectivity and build directional information flow. This method integrates human movements in the physical world and the digital movements in the virtual world. Using human mobility as measurement, flows go beyond administrative boundaries and connect counties which are not physically neighbors to each other.
