One Foundation’s Journey towards Centering Community-Led Work

Density and the journey to work.

"This paper evaluates the influence of residential density on commuting behavior across U.S. cities while controlling for available opportunities, the technology of transportation infrastructure, and individual socio-economic and demographic characteristics. The measures of metropolitan and local density are addressed separately.... Regressions are conducted to predict commuting time, speed, an...

Astrogeometry: towards Mathematical Foundations

In image processing (e.g., in astronomy), the desired black-and-white image is, from the mathematical viewpoint, a set. Hence, to process images, we need to process sets. To deene a generic set, we need innnitely many parameters; therefore, if we want to represent and process sets in the computer, we must restrict ourselves to nite-parametric families of sets that will be used to approximate th...

Foundations of Work-Systems Modeling

Accessibility and the Journey to Work

This study analyzes the effect of accessibility to jobs and houses at both the home and work ends of trips on commuting duration for respondents to a household travel survey in metropolitan Washington, DC. A model is constructed to estimate the effects of demographics and relative location on the journey to work. Analysis finds that residences in job-rich areas and workplaces in housing-rich ar...

Towards Cross-Community Effects in Scientific Communities∗ [work in progress]

Community effects on the behaviour of individuals, the community itself and other communities can be observed in a wide range of applications. This is true in scientific research, where communities of researchers have increasingly to justify their impact and progress to funding agencies. Previous work has tried to explain these phenomena by analysing co-citation graphs with methods from social ...
