Average spatial interaction efficiencies of land use categories in Singapore

Travel distances and paths for pairwise interacting individuals reflect transportation and energy consumption efficiency and were determined by a network analysis of mobile phone GPS tracks. There are significant disparities in spatial interaction efficiencies among the land use categories in Singapore. Residential zones show high efficiency, which is in line with government plans for neighborhood mini-centers, but conversely, mixed-use areas, especially those combining civil and business elements, show lower efficiency and suggest areas for potential improvement.

The distribution of socio-spatial interactions in Singapore based on mobile phone GPS tracks from over 240 000 individuals. A socio-spatial interaction of two individuals and thus a link in the network is defined as the co-location of two individuals within the same grid cell (500mx500m) in the same time interval.
