  • Bolstering Community Ties and Its Effect on Crime
    Bolstering community ties and its effect on crime: Evidence from a quasi-random experiment Magdalena Dom´ınguez and Daniel Montolio∗ Work in progress - Do not cite without permission This version: February 2019 Abstract In this paper we study the effect of bolstering community ties on local crime rates. To do so, we take advantage of the quasi-random nature of the implementation of a community health policy in the city of Barcelona. Salut als Barris (BSaB) is a policy that through community-based initiatives and empowerment of citizenship aims at improving health outcomes and reducing inequalities of the most disadvantaged neighborhoods. Based on economic and sociological literature it is also arguable that it may affect other relevant variables for overall welfare, such as crime rates. In order to test such a hypothesis, we use monthly data at the neighborhood level and a staggered Differences-in-Differences approach. Overall we find that BSaB highly reduces crimes related to non-cognitive features as well as those where there is a very close personal link (labeled as home crimes), with responses ranging from 9% to 18%. Additionally, female victimization rates drop for all age groups as well as the offense rates of younger cohorts. We argue that such outcomes are due to stronger community ties. Such results provide evidence in favor of non-traditional crime preventing policies. Keywords: crime; community action; differences-in-differences. JEL codes: C23, I18, I28, J18. ∗Dept. of Economics, University of Barcelona and IEB: [email protected] ; [email protected] We are grateful to Elia Diez and Maribel Pasarin at the Barcelona Public Health Agency (ASPB) and IGOP researchers Raquel Gallego and Ernesto Morales at Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) for their insightful comments on the program.

Curso: 2017-2018 Barrios del extrarradio en transformación. Ciclo de vida y renovación sociodemográfica: el caso de Montbau en Barcelona RESUMEN El siguiente trabajo analiza la dinámica sociodemográfica de la población del barrio de Montbau en la ciudad de Barcelona con el objetivo de estudiar las dinámicas residenciales que están comportando un rejuvenecimiento de la población en un área altamente envejecida. Se realiza un análisis metodológico mixto (cualitativo y cuantitativo), que contempla la evolución reciente de diversas variables sociodemográficas, así como los testimonios de residentes en el barrio. Ambas perspectivas pretenden aportar una visión de conjunto de los cambios observados y una aproximación futura de la evolución demográfica y urbana de Montbau. El análisis contempla la utilización de diferentes fuentes estadísticas y estudia la evolución de la población y los efectos que tienen sobre la misma los flujos residenciales y migratorios. Las entrevistas a los vecinos permiten conocer especialmente las dinámicas de transmisión intergeneracional de la vivienda. El contexto actual del mercado inmobiliario barcelonés, cada vez más selectivo y excluyente, podría estar potenciando la transformación del perfil sociodemográfico del barrio: aumenta el atractivo para la clase media y disminuye el peso (la presencia) de la clase trabajadora.

  • Analyzing Last Mile Delivery Operations in Barcelona's Urban
    Analyzing Last Mile Delivery Operations in Barcelona’s Urban Freight Transport Network Burcu Kolbay1, Petar Mrazovic2, and Josep Llus Larriba-Pey1 1 DAMA-UPC Data Management, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya C/Jordi Girona, 1 3 UPC Campus Nord 08034 Barcelona, Spain {burcu, larri}@ac.upc.edu http://www.dama.upc.edu/en 2 Dept. of Software and Computer Systems, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden [email protected] http://www.kth.se Abstract. Barcelona has recently started a new strategy to control and understand Last Mile Delivery, AreaDUM. The strategy is to provide freight delivery vehicle drivers with a mobile app that has to be used every time their vehicle is parked in one of the designated AreaDUM surface parking spaces in the streets of the city. This provides a significant amount of data about the activity of the freight delivery vehicles, their patterns, the occupancy of the spaces, etc. In this paper, we provide a preliminary set of analytics preceded by the procedures employed for the cleansing of the dataset. During the analysis we show that some data blur the results and using a simple strategy to detect when a vehicle parks repeatedly in close-by parking slots, we are able to obtain different, yet more reliable results. In our paper, we show that this behavior is common among users with 80% prevalence. We conclude that we need to analyse and understand the user behaviors further with the purpose of providing predictive algorithms to find parking lots and smart routing algorithms to minimize traffic. Keywords: Urban Freight, Clustering, Partitioning Around Medoids, User Behavior, Smart City, AreaDUM 1 Introduction Barcelona is considered to be among the smartest cities in the planet.
