Heatwave mapping - anytime & global range-
• Pros:Accurate location, global range
• Cons: Only one time
• Pros: any time (24 hours)• Cons:Non-accurate location,

Study: Transportation mode detection on mobile GPS data
• GPS points recorded by 30 min or by 500m moves. • No tag on transportation mode.
-> We use machine learning techniques todetect transportation mode.

Vulnerability estimation result
Aging ratio of pedestrians (Aug, 25, 2012)- Greater vulnerability in suburban residential areas.

Heatwave risk estimation result• Heatwave risk = Hazard x Exposure x Vulnerability
⎼ Hotspots detected by the G*statistic suggest that the central area is especially risky.

Murakami et al. (2016) suggested that heat-tweets explain temperatures (hazard). But, they did not analyze to what degree heat-tweets explain heatwave risk.

Concluding remarks• Findings
⎼ Spatial BigData is useful to monitor heatwave risk.⎼ Heat-tweet can be a useful indicator of heatwave risk of
individual people.
• Remining issues‒ Integration with more observations (e.g., Remote sensing, human
censoring,…).‒ Dynamic spatiotemporal modeling.‒ Social implementation, e.g., though a smartphone application.
