Project Description:
The authors' work here analyzed travel smart card data to uncover encounters between "familiar strangers" in daily life. They built a social encounter network on public buses and discovered that these repeated encounters on public transportation become ingrained over time as a "structure of co-presence" across the entire city, visible only at the large-scale level of analysis. The encounter frequencies of an individual depend on his or her "behavioral regularity", demonstrating how large-scale order arises from individual dynamic tendencies.
