Big data surely has contributed to our lives in many different ways also in many different sectors. In this article, it shows how big data take an important role in making parks and public space deliver better. Sabina Uffer as the Head of Research for Cities and Nerissa Moray as the Associate Principal for Cities in the United Kingdom explains how big data offers a dynamic approach to restoring life in the urban jungle and public spaces.
From a vast quantity of information that had been gathered then analyzed to reveal patterns, trends, and demands relating to human interaction, big data provides urban planners and policymakers tools to enhance life. From creating efficient traffic movement to positioned trees and installing sensors to observe the air quality.
In today’s world, as the internet has rapidly grown, it can provide managers with faster, cheaper, and more plentiful data sources. For example, GPS technology allows giant companies like Google and Facebook to connect the data to a specific location and map people’s experience in better detail.
Other emerging technologies like sensors and video recognition can provide planners and park managers with information on how their spaces are being used. Also, by using these technologies, they can get specific information to design public spaces better and how to maintain it.
Interestingly, big data analysis allowed managers to recognize underused and abandoned areas so they can implement measures to revitalize them. Analytics software also can be applied for the practical and maintenance of the parks and public spaces. It allows managers to observe and schedule the effective time to do such activities to maintain the spaces.

How Big Data Can Boost Weather Forecasting

張岳庭 D0741017 Source:  https://www.wired.com/insights/2013/02/how-big-data-can-boost-weather-forecasting/ Considering the number of variables involved and the complex interactions between these variables, weather forecasting has always been extremely challenging. The significant increase in data collection and processing capabilities has greatly improved the ability of weather forecasters to pinpoint the time and severity of hurricanes, floods, snowstorms and other weather events. Globally, more and more evidence of climate change is prompting governments and scientists to take action to protect people and property from its effects. But to take effective measures, they need to know more about the weather-from everything that will happen tomorrow to what will happen next year. According to the professor of economics and finance , Alan Anderson, PhD , “Example of an application of big data to weather forecasting is IBM’s Deep Thunder. Unlike many weather forecasting systems...
