Abstract

Recent developments in geographic information systems (GIS) and increasing availability of micro-data for cities present an environment that encourages innovations in approaches to visualizing and exploring outcomes of urban processes. We describe an object-oriented, GIS-based environment that facilitates visualization, exploration, and description of household level activity-travel behaviour. The activity pattern of a sample household from the 1994/1995 Portland Household Activity and Travel Behaviour Survey is used in the discussion to demonstrate the current capabilities of our system.
