Resumo(s)
This study identifies a measure of the cultural importance of an area within a city. It does
so by making use of origindestination
trip data and the bike stations of the bike share
system in New York City as a proxy to study the city. Rarely is movement in the city
studied at such a small scale. The change in strength of the similarity of movement
between each station is studied. It is the first study to provide this measure of importance
for every point in the system. This measure is then related to the characteristics which
make for vibrant city communities, namely highly mixed land use types. It reveals that the
spatial pattern of important areas remains constant over differing time periods.
Communities are then characterised by the land uses surrounding these stations with high
measures of importance. Finally it identifies the areas of global cultural importance
alongside the areas of local importance to the city.
