“…The high concentric vacancy in the city center of Sapporo corresponds to the cases of Changshu, China [94] and Sao Paulo, Brazil [95]. In both these cases, the decline in the central cities and out-migration accounted for the rise in the number of vacancies.…”

As the population is shrinking in many municipalities in Japan, one of its effects is the vacant house crisis. The rise of empty houses profoundly affects the city’s society and economy, e.g., property value reduction, increased crime rate, poor sanitation, and housing market stagnation. To better understand the mechanism of the vacant house crisis, the present study proposes to examine the determinants of housing vacancy spatial distribution with the case study of the city of Sapporo. The results highlight the severe vacant cluster in the central city, which would seem to link to the disequilibrium housing market rather than the urban decline. Regarding vacancy determinants, demographic features were the most influential factors, followed by housing and neighborhood characteristics. Specifically, the vacancy correlated strongly with a high density of single households, children, the elderly (in the center), and a high share of offices. The surplus in housing supply and the inelasticity in housing structures also affected the vacancy significantly. On the contrary, a high percentage of private property, household ownership, and the elderly (in suburban) would reduce the vacancy. For other facilities, clinics, parking, public transportation, and educational institutions had a medium effect on the vacancy. Finally, the influence factors varied, across city areas, in magnitude and direction. These outcomes would be helpful for decision-making to alleviate the rise of vacant houses and their effect on the urban area.

“…Both of these research directions represented temporal patterns as a single point in time, as virtually no geosocial media check-in platforms record visits as durations. This practice of using point-in-time-based temporal patterns has seen numerous contributions in recent years examining everything from residential vacancy rates [45] and criminal activity [47], to the temporal and environmental factors contributing to park visits [20].…”

Identifying regional variation in place visit behavior during a global pandemic

The emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in 2019 lead to a global pandemic that altered the activity behavior of most people on our planet. While government regulations and public concern modified visitation patterns to places of interest, little research has examined the nuanced changes in the length of time someone spends at a place, nor the regional variability of these changes. In this work, we examine place visit duration in four major U.S. cities, identify which place types saw the largest and smallest changes, and quantify variation between cities. Furthermore, we identify socio-economic and demographic factors that contribute to changes in visit duration and demonstrate the varying influence of these factors by region. The results of our analysis indicate that the pandemic's impact on visiting behavior varies between cities, though there are commonalities found in certain types of places. Our findings suggest that places of interest within lower income communities experienced less change in visit duration than others. An increase in the percentage of younger, Black or Hispanic populations within a community also resulted in a smaller decrease in visit duration than in other communities. These findings offer insight into the factors that contribute to changes in visiting behavior and the resilience of communities to a global pandemic.

“…In recent decades, efforts have been invested in the investigation and monitoring of Residential Demand (DNR) of various water distribution networks (Cominola, Giuliani, Piga, Castelletti & Rizzoli, 2015), where valuable information is obtained for users. hydraulic models, as well as to generate synthetic DNR data of the systems, using various methodologies such as those used in Koutiva & Makropoulos (2016); Mostafavi, Gándara & Hoque (2018); Mostafavi, Shojaei, Beheshtian & Hoque (2018); and in Pan et al (2020).…”

This work presents demand and pressure data at the residential level, in the water distribution network of the city of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. The demand (consumption) measurement was carried out with an ultrasonic flow meter, while the pressure measurement was carried out with an electronic manometer. The data were measured for one month, through which average values were estimated for every 20 minutes and every hour during the day. The correlation between the demand and pressure data obtained is exposed, as well as the hourly behavior of the parameters, which are compared with the data estimated with a hydraulic model in Epanet, previously obtained. The demand and pressure data presented good correlation (-0.91). Finally, the average demand values obtained in the field and with the model presented a difference of 17.6%, while the average pressure values were more similar, producing a difference of only 0.7%.
