BACKGROUND The majority of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) occur in residential locations, but knowledge about strategic placement of automated external defibrillators in residential areas is lacking. We examined whether residential OHCA areas suitable for placement of automated external defibrillators could be identified on the basis of demographic characteristics and characterized ind...

The usage of social theories in the human-built environment caused to enhance life quality. It may consist of human needs in residential areas. Sometimes, building codes can help to exist accepted life space, but the building codes do not have basic theory such as actual open space in residential plots. The study was an attempt to represent a new approach in urban land subdivision and the relat...

This paper proposes a method to infer bloggers’ residential areas. Identifying bloggers’ residential areas will be useful as another axis to retrieve weblogs or for tasks that resolve ambiguous objects in terms of geographic contexts. Our method focuses on the local context of geographic location terms and uses binary classifiers to decide whether the context is indicating the writer’s resident...

Fifty of 62 applicants for residential accommodation underwent assessment at a geriatric day hospital. Twenty-five were suitable, 11 were suitable following rehabilitation and 14 were unsuitable for placement in residential accommodation. Around 35% of all applicants were not assessed. Seventy-nine per cent of assessed applicants, without dementia, either were unsure of how their application ha...

Based on topological analysis, an automatic detection method of residential area change is presented in this paper. Firstly, we demonstrated the importance of extracting residential area in remote sensing images accurately and automatically. Then, it is found that the old vector of the same region even at different time is useful to obtain the train samples. By applying old vector, we classifie...

While researchers are increasingly re-conceptualizing international migration, far less attention has been devoted to re-thinking short-distance residential mobility and immobility. In this paper we harness the life course approach to propose a new conceptual framework for residential mobility research. We contend that residential mobility and immobility should be re-conceptualized as relationa...

We investigate the dynamic relationship between residential choices of individuals and resulting long-term aggregate segregation patterns, allowing for feedback effects of macrolevel neighborhood conditions on residential choices. We reinterpret past survey data on whites' attitudes about desired neighborhoods as revealing large heterogeneity in whites' tolerance of black neighbors. Through age...
