On the validity of geosocial mobility traces
2013
Proceedings of the Twelfth ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks - HotNets-XII
Recently, researchers have begun to focus on geosocial mobility traces, e.g. Foursquare checkin traces, because of their availability and scale. But are we conceding correctness in our zeal for data? ...
In this paper, we take initial steps towards quantifying the value of geosocial datasets using a large ground truth dataset gathered from a user study. ...
To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first to quantitatively evaluate the accuracy and validity of geosocial mobility traces. ...

Personal Activity Centres and Geosocial Data Analysis: Combining Big Data with Small Data
[chapter]
2017
Lecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography
These findings indicate activity centres defined from Twitter do relate to general spatial activities, but the limited degree of spatial variability on an individual level limits the applications of geosocial ...
Additionally, we find that the broader pattern of geosocial footprints indicated that 35 percent of users have only one activity centre, 30 percent have two activity centres, and 14 percent have three ...
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors gratefully acknowledge our study participants as well as the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for funding this research. ...

A Survey of Open Source User Activity Traces with Applications to User Mobility Characterization and Modeling
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
The current state-of-the-art in user mobility research has extensively relied on open-source mobility traces captured from pedestrian and vehicular activity through a variety of communication technologies ...
Second, once they have found the traces, they still need to figure out whether the traces are adequate to their needs. The purpose of this survey is three-fold. ...
The unique style of geosocial mobility traces can provide insightful information for urban planning and retail real estate to property owners and operators. ...

Privacy Threats and Protection Recommendations for the Use of Geosocial Network Data in Research
2018
Social Sciences
In this paper, we examine recent research efforts on the spectrum of privacy issues related to geosocial network data and identify the contributions and limitations of these research efforts. ...
On the one hand, inference attack studies explore the types of personal information that can be revealed and the methods used to extract it. ...
Shokri et al. (2011) , in their work on location privacy of mobile users, developed a quantifier (metric) for location privacy that is based on the incorrectness of the adversary in their inference attack ...

IEEE Engineering Management Review
We observe that COVID-19 high-risk groups are located in the hubs and cliques of our geosocial network, formed by the close encounters of people during daily life. ...
However, to protect privacy, we recommend constructing the geosocial network of anonymized cellphones, not named individuals. ...

Cultural investment and urban socio-economic development: a geosocial network approach
2017
Royal Society Open Science
However, due to the lack of large-scale data with a fine spatio-temporal resolution, there have been limitations in terms of how planners can track the impact and measure the effectiveness of cultural ...
Being able to assess the impact of government-led investment onto socio-economic indicators in cities has long been an important target of urban planning. ...
We thank Foursquare for supporting this research by providing the dataset employed in the analysis.

Proceedings of the 2nd ACM International Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-scale Measurement - HotPlanet '10
For example, through understanding large-scale human mobility, we can track and model and contain the spread of epidemics of various kinds. ...
Research into, and design and construction of mobile systems and algorithms requires access to large-scale mobility data. Unfortunately, the research community lacks such data. ...
Even if we extrapolate large-scale mobility traces from small-scale traces, the problem of validating the extrapolation remains. ...

User stores encrypted data on the server by using transformations. When user allows recommender then they can access the users location and data. LocX provides more privacy for today's mobile devices. ...
Now a days there are many geo social applications which are based on large extent, so people are more concern about the security of location and respective data stored at that location. ...
Using evaluation, based on both synthetic and real-world LBSA traces, LocX adds little computational and communication overhead to existing systems. LocX prototype runs efficiently on mobile phones. ...
