  • Understanding Users' Satisfaction Towards Public Transit System In
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Understanding Users’ Satisfaction Towards Public Transit System in India: A Case-Study of Mumbai Rahul Deb Das 1,2 1 Department of Geography, University of Zurich, CH-8006 Zurich, Switzerland; [email protected] or [email protected] 2 IBM, Mies-van-der-Rohe-Strasse 6, 80807 Munich, Germany Abstract: In this work, we present a novel approach to understand the quality of public transit system in resource constrained regions using user-generated contents. With growing urban population, it is getting difficult to manage travel demand in an effective way. This problem is more prevalent in developing cities due to lack of budget and proper surveillance system. Due to resource constraints, developing cities have limited infrastructure to monitor transport services. To improve the quality and patronage of public transit system, authorities often use manual travel surveys. But manual surveys often suffer from quality issues. For example, respondents may not provide all the detailed travel information in a manual travel survey. The survey may have sampling bias. Due to close-ended design (specific questions in the questionnaire), lots of relevant information may not be captured in a manual survey process. To address these issues, we investigated if user-generated contents, for example, Twitter data, can be used to understand service quality in Greater Mumbai in India, which can complement existing manual survey process. To do this, we assumed that, if a tweet is relevant to public transport system and contains negative sentiment, then that tweet expresses user’s dissatisfaction towards the public transport service.

  • A Climate: a Philosophical Study
    A CLIMATE A Philosophical Study by WATSUJI TETSURO translated by GEOFFREY BOWNAS Lecturer, Oxford University Published by PRINTINGBUREAU, JAPANESE GOVERNMENT A CLIMATE A Philosophical Study by WATSUJI TETSURO translated by GEOFFREY BOWNAS Lecturer, Oxford University Published by PRINTINGBUREAU, JAPANESE GOVERNMENT Unesco, at the 9th session of its General Conference held in New Delhi in 1956, decided to launch the Major Project on the Mutual Appreciation of Eastern and Western Cultural Values. In accordance with this decision this Commission has been carrying on since 1958, within the framework of the project, a programme of publishing modern Japanese philosophical works into foreign languages. In 1959, we put out an English translation of "The Ways of Thinking of Eastern Peoples" by Nakamura Hajime; and in 1960 "A Study of Good" by Nishida Kitaro. The present 7101- ume, "A Climate" by Watsuji Tetsuro, is the third of the series and is to be followed in 1962 by an English version of "Time and Eternity" by Hatano Seiichi. Watsuji Tetsuro, one of the foremost scholars in the field of ethics in Japan, attempted in his present book to expound his views in concrete and easy terms on "the function of climate as a factor within the structure of human existence", which represents an aspect of his profound thought. It is our sincere wish that this programme will prove to be a contribution to the development of mutual understanding among the peoples of the world, as well as a closer cultural link between the East and West. Japanese National Commission for Unesco Unesco, at the 9th session of its General Conference held in New Delhi in 1956, decided to launch the Major Project on the Mutual Appreciation of Eastern and Western Cultural Values.
