Due to the emergence of new big data technology, mobility data such as flows between origin and destination areas have increasingly become more available, cheaper, and faster. These improvements to data infrastructure have boosted spatial and tempora...
Wildfire is a major disturbance that affects large area globally every year. Thus, a better prediction of the likelihood of wildfire occurrence is essential to develop appropriate fire prevention measures. We applied a global negative Binomial (NB) a...
Negative binomial (NB) regression model has been used to analyze crime in previous studies. The disadvantage of the NB model is that it cannot deal with spatial effects. Therefore, spatial regression models, such as the geographically weighted Poisso...
Vehicle crashes on roads are caused by many factors. However, the influence of these factors is not necessarily homogenous across locations, which is a challenge for non-stationary modeling approaches. To address this problem, this paper adopts two t...

The measures in the fight against COVID-19 have reshaped the functions of urban facilities, which might cause the associated crimes to vary with the occurrence of the pandemic. This paper aimed to study this phenomenon by conducting quantitative rese...
Numerous environmental conditions may influence when a female Loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) selects a nesting site. Limited research has used Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and statistical analysis to study sea turtle spatial patterns...
Autonomous vehicle collision reports provide valuable geospatial information for understanding how emerging mobility systems interact with urban built environments. However, existing studies have mostly examined autonomous vehicle crashes from a glob...

The prevalence of obesity among Italian children has reached such alarming levels as to require detailed studies of the causes of the phenomenon. A cross-sectional study was carried out in order to assess the weight status of 1164 Italian children ag...
The increasing popularity of intercity commuting is affecting regional development and people’s lifestyles. A key approach to addressing the challenges brought about by intercity commuting is analyzing its determinants. Although spatial nonstat...
In the U.S., approximately 9.3 million lead service lines (LSLs) account for most lead contamination of drinking water. As the commitment to replace LSLs with safer materials grows, empirical evidence is needed to understand which households are bene...
Background/Objectives: Rural–urban disparities are well documented in pediatric healthcare, influencing access, service organization, and outcomes. However, whether these differences extend to the domain of nursing care remains unclear. This st...
