Summary
Urban function mixing, measured by spatial entropy of points of interest (POIs) and temporal entropy of taxis, is crucial for sustainable urbanization. Beijing
Area of Science:
- Urban studies
- Spatial analysis
- Information theory
Background:
- Rapid urbanization and urban sprawl create social problems.
- Urban function mixing is a key indicator of urbanization development level.
- Understanding the coupling coordination between function mixing and urbanization is vital.
Purpose of the Study:
- To measure urban function mixing using spatial entropy of POIs and temporal entropy of taxis.
- To assess the coupling coordination between urban function mixing and urbanization development level in Beijing.
- To analyze the spatial distribution and correlation characteristics of these factors.
Main Methods:
- Utilized urban Point of Interest (POI) data and taxi GPS trajectory data.
- Applied information entropy to calculate spatial entropy of POIs and temporal entropy of taxis.
- Employed the coupling coordination degree model to evaluate the relationship between urban function mixing and urbanization development.
Main Results:
- Significant regional imbalances in POI spatial entropy and taxi temporal entropy were observed, decreasing from urban centers to suburbs.
- Urban function mixing and urbanization development levels were higher in central areas compared to outer suburbs.
- Coupling coordination was balanced in central urban areas but unbalanced in outer suburbs, with spatial agglomeration positively correlating with higher function mixing, urbanization, and coordination.
Conclusions:
- Urban function mixing and urbanization development exhibit spatial heterogeneity.
- Balanced development is concentrated in central urban areas, while outer suburbs show imbalances.
- Strategic urban planning considering regional coupling coordination is essential for sustainable urban development.

01:29Levels of Use of a GIS
196
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...

33.4K
Salt particles that have dissolved in water never spontaneously come back together in solution to reform solid particles. Moreover, a gas that has expanded in a vacuum remains dispersed and never spontaneously reassembles. The unidirectional nature of these phenomena is the result of a thermodynamic state function called entropy (S). Entropy is the measure of the extent to which the energy is dispersed throughout a system, or in other words, it is proportional to the degree of disorder of a...

The first law of thermodynamics is quantitatively formulated via an equation relating the internal energy of a system, the heat exchanged by it, and the work done on it. A quantitative formulation of the second law of thermodynamics leads to defining a state function, the entropy.
When an ideal gas expands isothermally, the disorder in the gas increases. From the molecular perspective, the gas molecules have more volume to move around in.
Consider an infinitesimal step in the expansion, which...

For transition metal complexes, the coordination number determines the geometry around the central metal ion. Table 1 compares coordination numbers to molecular geometry. The most common structures of the complexes in coordination compounds are octahedral, tetrahedral, and square planar.

01:12Coefficient of Correlation
7.5K
The correlation coefficient, r, developed by Karl Pearson in the early 1900s, is numerical and provides a measure of strength and direction of the linear association between the independent variable x and the dependent variable y.
If you suspect a linear relationship between x and y, then r can measure how strong the linear relationship is.
What the VALUE of r tells us:
The value of r is always between –1 and +1: –1 ≤ r ≤ 1.
The size of the correlation r indicates the...

195
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...
