Lecture Abstract
The interaction between urban environment and human activity is one of the most important issues in healthy city science. Remote sensing and social sensing big data have greatly facilitated mapping, monitoring, and modeling changes of human-environment system. This talk will first introduce data-model fusion approaches in quantifying a range of fine-resolution urban environment components including urban land use categories, air pollution, and green space. The second part of this talk will introduce a dynamic human-environment interaction framework by integrating real-time human mobility with the urban environment. Based on the proposed framework, this talk will use air pollution and green space exposure for an example to uncover the realistic human-urban environment interaction. The audience may receive insights about how to leverage multi-source data and interdisciplinary approaches in the field of urban environmental health science.
