Evaluating geospatial accuracy for equity analyses: a case study of the U.S. National Bridge Inventory by Gandy, CA, Kang, X, Ritsch, N, Armanios, DE

“…Phase 3 assesses the feasibility of enhancing location granularity through a hand-checked case study. We find that for coarser geospatial levels (state and county), equity-based analyses may be possible, but for more granular geospatial levels (place and census tract), which is where equity-based analyses are often conducted, the data may need greater buffering and hand checks to ensure accuracy. …”

Foreign students and implications of their social networking sites usage by Tan, Yi Ting

“…Past research examining how foreign students utilise Social Networking Sites (SNS) to settle into their host countries are overly Western-centric in their discussions of the issue at hand. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to determine how foreigners or immigrants make use of SNS as a tool to establish their place within Singapore, whether their sense of collective identity influences their SNS usage patterns and whether their usage of SNS has any impact on their ability to integrate into the local context. …”
