Abstract
This paper explores the evolution and spatial organization
of urban communities in a daily cycle of a city using scalable methods
of social network analysis. Using mobile phone network records, we have
observed spatial patterns in community structures at ne spatial scales
which are most likely related to the activities typical to the dierent
functional regions of a city. It is known that interactions between dierent
parts of the city are subject to a distance decay, moreover, our ndings
show that regardless of the time of the day or current activity, people tend
to communicate within a spatially enclosed community. Furthermore, we
have investigated transitions and transformations of these communities
at the temporal scales of several hours related to the cycles of human
movement and activities in a city.
