Urban heatwaves increase residential health risks. Identifying urban residential sensitivity to heatwave risks is an important prerequisite for mitigating the risks through urban planning practices. This research proposes a new paradigm for urban residential sensitivity to heatwave risks based on social media Big Data, and describes empirical research in five megacities in China, namely, Beijing, Nanjing, Wuhan, Xi’an and Guangzhou, which explores the application of this paradigm to real-world environments. Specifically, a method to identify urban residential sensitive to heatwave risks was developed by using natural language processing (NLP) technology. Then, based on remote sensing images and Weibo data, from the perspective of the relationship between people (group perception) and the ground (meteorological temperature), the relationship between high temperature and crowd sensitivity in geographic space was studied. Spatial patterns of the residential sensitivity to heatwaves over the study area were characterized at fine scales, using the information extracted from remote sensing information, spatial analysis, and time series analysis. The results showed that the observed residential sensitivity to urban heatwave events (HWEs), extracted from Weibo data (Chinese Twitter), best matched the temporal trends of HWEs in geographic space. At the same time, the spatial distribution of observed residential sensitivity to HWEs in the cities had similar characteristics, with low sensitivity in the urban center but higher sensitivity in the countryside. This research illustrates the benefits of applying multi-source Big Data and intelligent analysis technologies to the understand of impacts of heatwave events on residential life, and provide decision-making data for urban planning and management.

In the era of big data, with the development of computer technology, especially the comprehensive popularization of mobile terminal device and the gradual construction of the Internet of Things, the urban physical environment and social environment have been comprehensively digitized and quantified. Computational thinking mode has gradually become a new thinking mode for human beings to recognize and govern urban complex system. Meanwhile computational urban science has become the main discipline development aspect of modern urban planning. Computational thinking is the thinking of computer science using algorithms based on time complexity and space complexity, which provides a new paradigm for the construction of index system, data collection, data storage, data analysis, pattern recognition, dynamic governance in the process of scientific planning and urban management. Based on this, this paper takes the computational thinking mode of urban planning discipline in big data era as the research object, takes the scientific construction of computational urban planning as the research purpose, and adopts literature research methods and interdisciplinary research methods, comprehensively studies the connotation of the computing thinking mode of computer science. Meanwhile, this paper systematically discusses the system construction of urban computing, model generation, the theory and method of digital twinning, as well as the popularization of the computational thinking mode of urban and rural planning discipline and the scientific research of computational urban planning, which responds to the needs of the era of the development of urban and rural planning disciplines in the era of big data.

Technology-driven advances in the gathering, processing and delivery of big data are making it easier to monitor forests and make informed decisions over their use and management. This paper first describes how innovations in remote sensing and cloud computing are enabling generation of geospatial data more often, at lower cost and in more user-friendly formats. Second, it describes the evolution of systems and technologies to trace forest products, and agricultural commodities linked to deforestation, from source to final use. Third, it reviews the potential for emerging data mining technologies such as natural language processing, web scraping and computer vision to support forest policy analysis and augment geospatial data gathered through remote sensing. The paper gives examples of how these technologies are being used and may be used in the future to monitor and respond to deforestation, fire and natural disasters, improve governance by enabling faster and more comprehensive analysis of social networks, policies and regulations, and increase traceability and transparency within supply chains.

Abstract Research and innovation in personalized medicine (PM) are extensive and expanding, with several pharmacogenetic/pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing options currently available for a wide range of health problems. However, PGx-guided therapy faces many barriers to full integration into clinical practice and acceptance by practitioner/patient: utilization and uptake by payers in real-world practice are being discussed, and the criteria to guide clinicians and policy makers in PGx test selection are not fully incorporated. This review focuses on the advances of pharmacogenomics to individualize treatments, the relationship between pharmacogenetics and pharmacometabolomics, the new paradigm of the Big Data, the needs and barriers facing PGx clinical application and the situation of PGx testing in health national services. It is based on lectures presented by speakers of the European Society of Pharmacogenomics and Personalised Therapy (ESPT) Fourth Conference, held in Catania, October 4th, 2017.

Understanding the antecedents and consequences of happiness at destinations is critical for building livable and sustainable communities for residents and tourists. Big data and social signals provide new opportunities to unpack the driving forces of happiness. For this study, geotagged social media data, physical environment data, and economic data are utilized to shed light on how neighborhood factors shape happiness. An interdisciplinary approach is adopted to integrate natural language processing, spatial analysis, network science, and statistical modeling. The results indicate that (1) crimes are negatively associated with neighborhood happiness; (2) visitor check-in activity mediates the relationship between places of interest and neighborhood happiness; (3) happy neighborhoods with similar happiness levels share higher numbers of common happy visitors, which implies that happy neighborhoods share attributes that attract happy visitors. This research contributes to theories regarding how neighborhood attributes may shape happiness, and demonstrates how big data can be used to characterize human-environment relationships for happiness-related research. Planners and tourism stakeholders can improve neighborhood happiness by engaging with residents and tourists to evaluate the current physical conditions of neighborhoods and develop context-sensitive plans and projects.

Based on the TM remote sensing data of the Huadian city in 1991 and 2011 and based on the DEM data,using the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) change classification method,to Extraction the elevation,slope,slope direction data and the vegetation index data of the study area.Then using the spatial analysis function of GIS software to overlay the two different period NDVI data and analysis the NDVI change of area and spatial. Using the same method to overlay and analysis the relationship of NDVI data and elevation,slope,slope direction.Research shows that the variation of NDVI in the study area has relationship with the topographic factors change.
