Data Mining of Tourists’ Spatio-temporal Movement Patterns ---A Case Study on Phillip Island
نویسندگان
چکیده
In these days, understanding tourists’ spatio-temporal movement behaviour is becoming more and more important factor for success of tourist marketing. This paper uses a general purpose data mining tool to identify tourist spatiotemporal movement patterns and across patterns between tourist profiles and their spatio-temporal movement patterns. Major temporal movement sequences and spatial movement sequences are discovered and compared. For example, if tourists only visited one attraction in the evening for their day-trip it is Penguin parade. Clustering method is used to identify tourists’ market segment for each attraction. There are various key attributes to group tourists for different attractions. Type of visitors (international or domestic tourists) is the most important attribute to cluster the tourists on the Phillip Island. Differences of tourists for each attraction and movement pattern are also compared using classification algorithms. However these differences are not significant.

Modeling Spatio-Temporal Movements Using Finite Markov Chains
This paper presents a novel method for modeling the spatio-temporal movements of tourists at the macro level using Markov Chains methodology. Markov Chains are used extensively in modeling random phenomena which results in a sequence of events linked together under the assumption of first-order dependence. In this paper, we utilize Markov Chains to analyze the outcome and trend of events associ...
متن کاملUnderstanding Temporal Human Mobility Patterns in a City by Mobile Cellular Data Mining, Case Study: Tehran City
Recent studies have shown that urban complex behaviors like human mobility should be examined by newer and smarter methods. The ubiquitous use of mobile phones and other smart communication devices helps us use a bigger amount of data that can be browsed by the hours of the day, the days of the week, geographic area, meteorological conditions, and so on. In this article, mobile cellular data mi...
متن کاملMining Spatio-Temporal Patterns in Trajectory Data
Spatio-temporal patterns extracted from historical trajectories of moving objects reveal important knowledge about movement behavior for high quality LBS services. Existing approaches transform trajectories into sequences of location symbols and derive frequent subsequences by applying conventional sequential pattern mining algorithms. However, spatio-temporal correlations may be lost due to th...

متن کاملSpatio-Temporal Variation of Suspended Sediment Concentration at Downstream of a Sand Mine
The growing population led to greater human need to use natural resources such as sand and gravel mines. Direct removal of sands from the bed river leads to increase suspended sediment concentrations in downstream of harvested area and creates other problems viz. filling reservoirs, change in hydraulic characteristics of the channel and environmental damages. However, the range of temporal and ...
