摘要：Due to the development of location-aware technology, information and communication technology (ICT), and mobile technology in recent decades, we have seen significant changes in human activity and interaction behaviors that are closely related to changing processes in today’s urban, economic and social systems.  In the meantime, detailed data of individual activities and interactions are being collected at an unprecedented spatial and temporal granularity level by communication service providers , government agencies and so on. Now more human activities and interactions are conducted in virtual space . Various types of big data contain useful information for us to better understand different aspects of human dynamics in  physical and virtual spaces.  However, there exist some research challenges of representing, analyzing and visualizing human dynamics GIS to gain insights on spatiotemporal activities and interactions in both physical and virtual spaces. This presentation will discuss some of these challenges and use examples to illustrate potential approaches of addressing these challenges.
