Plain-Language Brief

Researchers have developed a machine learning model called CommuniWave to help urban managers measure the degree of informal behavior in urban communities. This can help make better decisions for community planning and improve the resilience of communities.

What the Document Says

• The research focuses on improving urban communities' resilience through enhancing their functional attributes.
• Currently, community planning often follows a top-down approach with a lack of effective metrics for quantifying residents' informal behaviors, leading to conflicts with original plans.
• The study presents CommuniWave, a machine learning model that aims to efficiently detect and quantify the Degree of Informal Behavior (DIB) in urban communities.
• CommuniWave uses three components: a Behavior Capture Net (BCN), a self-developed YOLOv10 model (YLX), and a Behavior Eval Model (BEM) based on random forest.
• The model generates DIB fluctuation charts from street videos, enabling dynamic monitoring to support urban managers in making informed decisions for enhancing community resilience.

Raw Abstract / Excerpt

For urban managers and designers, improving the functional attributes of urban communities to enhance territorial resilience in the face of complexity and uncertainty is crucial. Currently, community planning often follows a top-down approach and lacks effective metrics to quantify informal behaviors of residents, leading to frequent conflicts with original plans. This study introduces CommuniWave, a machine learning model designed to efficiently detect and quantify the Degree of Informal Behavior (DIB) in urban communities. The model integrates a Behavior Capture Net (BCN) based on mmaction2, a self-developed YOLOv10 model (YLX), and a Behavior Eval Model (BEM) using random forest. Ultimately, by generating DIB fluctuation charts from street videos, the model facilitates dynamic monitoring, supporting urban managers in making refined decisions to enhance the overall resilience of communities.
