Introduction:In the domain of theoretical model development of the decision making of individual people, it has been a concern of how to deal with the choices under uncertain situations. Traditional theoretical models in this case are normally not directly applicable in terms of the theoretical foundations. In this presentation, I would like to introduce the development of a prospect theoreti...
Introduction:Locational data such as phone record data, GPS data, smart card data, have become increasing popular in various research fields including urban planning, transportation, geography and environmental science. Traditional small scales of trajectory data often come together with rich information of individuals. However, large scale big data often does not have any data related to the p...
Introduction:The spatial planning system has a long history internationally, mainly including the Anglo-American spatial planning system based on the maritime law system and the Continent spatial planning system. Integrating the Anglo-American and Continent experiences with their conditions, the spatial planning system of East Asian countries generally has more strict planning formation and b...
Introduction:Machine learning methods have been hot for some years and have been applied also in the wide scope of urban and transportation planning. In terms of the decision making issue, however, researchers and policy makers commonly demand a model that is both interpretable and predictable in the sense the model warrants not only a good predictability but also generates enhanced understandi...
Introduction:Scientia Professor Deo Prasad will introduce the climate emergency of delivering net zero carbon buildings and the experience of developing Australia’s first national guide that provides reliable and science-based benchmarks, targets and pathways towards net zero operational and embodied carbon for new and existing buildings across the nation. The talk will present how the perform...

Introduction:Long-term mobility decisions in housing, job and car ownership has been a subject for long in transportation and urban planning. Since the decision is relatively long time spanned, the decision making is relatively complicated comparing with the short-term daily routines. Often such a decision involves the joint decision of household members. In this talk, I would like to introdu...
