The Spatial Analysis of Weibo Check-in Data—— The Case Study of Wuhan
Conference paper
Abstract
With the popularization and development of mobile phones, more and more people share their spatial locations on social network, to leave their footprints. However, Studies in the patterns of the check-in data and its relation to the existing space are not enough. Using the method of the spatial analysis of the data direction distribution and hierarchical analysis, we found that the check-in data has the close contact with the real space. It is of great value for us to deeply explore spatial characteristics and extend the usage of check-in data.
