Context-dependent movement analysis

Chapter 11 in Handbook of Spatial Analysis in the Social Sciences, 2022, pp 187-207 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Understanding of movement and its driving mechanisms is essential in many areas including geography, social sciences, transportation, ecology, epidemiology, and public health. Movement patterns are important contributing factors to the forms and function of many ecological and social systems. Any change in these dynamic systems may impact their collective behavior which can be reflected in individuals' patterns of movement over time. Hence, our ability to utilize movement as a marker to study and model individuals' behavior in associations with their surrounding environment can be instrumental in social sciences. This chapter contributes to the conceptual and methodological knowledge about the relationships between movement and context (i.e., defined as the circumstances that construct the setting for movement and its surrounding environment). The aim is to introduce the concept of contextualization in movement analytics and provide a review of existing approaches to context-dependent analysis of movement.
