The Clustered Locations of Urban Services, Transport, and Economic Resources Program (CLUSTER) is an agent-based prototype on modeling retail location choice on supply chains consisting of consumers, retailers, and suppliers. Introduced in Huang and Levinson (2011), this model aims to investigate the effects of transportation cost, consumers’ travel behavior, and suppliers’ locations on retail ...

Efforts to simultaneously address adolescent self-regulation, activity space (routine locations), and mental health represent a promising social ecological approach aimed at understanding the lives and development of urban youth. This type of examination of contextual influences on selfregulation is considered an important area of developmental research, yet one that is understudied (McCabe, Cu...

Trees provide cooling benefits through shading and evapotranspiration; they are regarded as an important measure in heat-resilient urban planning policies. Knowing where to plant trees for maximum benefits, given practical resource constraints, remains a challenge both practice research. Literature the field of tree modeling location optimization is limited, either by incompleteness accounting ...

We conducted mosquito surveillance at outdoor breeding habitat in 459 households at 7 urban locations in Putrajaya, Malaysia from January to December 2010 to determine the predominant species and breeding locations. The most common species found at all locations was Aedes albopictus. Gardening utensils were the most common breeding sites. Of the 1,885 mosquito larvae specimens found, 1,774 (94....

Due to the inherent discrete nature of sensing, interpolation is a key activity in sensing. Interpolation in urban computing faces an unprecedented inference issue that was not present in large scale traditional sensing environments. Obstacles such as buildings and walls are prevalent in urban sensing, and it is important to consider them in urban sensing interpolation. This paper introduces an...
