Understanding Drivers of Deforestation using Games on Spatial Networks
… which agents engage in coupled activities over a spatial network and study a policy intervention to limit illegal deforestation. Firstly, we conduct equilibrium analysis of a game in which each agent decides the production levels of her coupled activities in the presence of network effects. …

SOCIO-SPATIAL DIMENSIONS OF MIGRANT WOMEN’S LIVES IN TBILISI, GEORGIA
… mobility and migration on Georgian women’s socio-spatial dimensions and what this means for the economic and cultural survival of women in post- Soviet Georgia. Specifically, the research focuses on the spatial availability of family and rural contacts and the use of social safety nets as a coping …

Determinants of soybean adoption and performance in northern Ghana
… and performance. I then employ a combined spatial-autoregressive with spatial-autoregressive disturbances (SARAR) model using a generalized spatial two-stage least squares to understand cross-unit interactions in a spatial dimension. I demonstrate that there exists positive, large, and …

Developing a Social Impact Measurement Framework for the UNESCO’s Biosphere Reserve (Cat Ba Archipelago Biosphere Reserve, Viet Nam)
… Furthermore, a Typology of the Biosphere’s Networks has been identified, including state-based networks (kinship, role-based, cognitive, and affection networks), event-based networks (communication, transactional, religious/spiritual networks), and Biospheric networks (social-spatial …

Tracking Disaster Dynamics for Urban Resilience: Human-Mobility and Semantic Perspectives
… process of resilience, including human mobility, spatial networks, and coupled mobility and sentiment perspectives. In the first, human-mobility perspective, I examine the nuanced impact of a severe winter storm on human mobility patterns and the relationship between perturbed mobility during the …

Data Science for Mining Patterns in Spatial Events
There has been an explosive growth of spatial data over the last decades thanks to the popularity of location-based services (e.g., Google Maps), affordable devices (e.g., mobile phone with GPS receiver), and fast development of data transfer and storage technologies. This significant growth as …

Cluster damage robustness analysis and space independent community detection in complex networks
… which uncovers space-independent communities in spatial networks, to airport and linguistic networks. A critical property of complex systems – robustness – is explored within a partial model of the Internet, by demonstrating a novel perturbation strategy based on the iterative removal of …

Scalable data analytics techniques for summarizing spatial network-based observations
Summarizing spatial network-based observations (SSNO) entails finding a compact description or representation of large spatial or spatio-temporal datasets. For example, transportation planners and engineers may need to identify road segments that pose risks for pedestrians and require redesign. …

Topology of Social and Managerial Networks
… in recent years, organizational and man- agerial networks have reached high levels of intricacy. These are one of the many complex systems consisting of a large number of highly interconnected heterogeneous agents. The dominant paradigm in the representation of intricate relations between agents …
