Questions
1 – “Patterns of Life” analyses depend on
recognizing repeating patterns of activities by individuals or groups. Describe
up to six daily patterns of life by vehicles traveling through and within the park.
Characterize the patterns by describing the kinds of vehicles participating,
their spatial activities (where do they go?), their temporal activities (when
does the pattern happen?), and provide a hypothesis of what the pattern
represents (for example, if I drove to a coffee house every morning, but did
not stay for long, you might hypothesize I’m getting coffee “to-go”). Please
limit your answer to six images and 500 words.
Pattern 1
Image:
Time:May 19, 2015 to May 22, 2015
Where:entrance1,general-gate7, general-gate4, general-gate1,ranger-stop2,
ranger-stop0, general-gate2, general-gate5, entrance4
Size:Four cars, one car at a time, and each car-id is different.
Hypothesis:These cars pass the same places every day, and no stay in the protected area,
they should be crossing the protected area.
Pattern 2
Image:
Time:June 25, 2015 to June 27, 2015
Where:entrance0, general-gate1, ranger-stop2, ranger-stop0, general-gate2, general-gate5,
general-gate6,camping7,entrance3
Size:Four cars, one car at a time, and each car-id is different.
Hypothesis:These cars pass the same places every day,
and stay in the protected area, they should be go camping.
2 – Patterns of Life analyses may also
depend on understanding what patterns appear over longer periods of time (in
this case, over multiple days). Describe up to six patterns of life that occur
over multiple days (including across the entire data set) by vehicles traveling
through and within the park. Characterize the patterns by describing the kinds
of vehicles participating, their spatial activities (where do they go?), their
temporal activities (when does the pattern happen?), and provide a hypothesis
of what the pattern represents (for example, many vehicles showing up at the
same location each Saturday at the same time may suggest some activity
occurring there each Saturday). Please limit your answer to six images and 500
words.
Pattern 1
Image:
Time:Tuesday and Thursday from 2am to 6am of every month (except April 2016).
Where:gate6,gate 5,gate 3.
Size:Only one car at a time,but each car-id is different.
Hypothesis:These cars come in and out of the protected area
between 2 am and 6 am each time.And they only go to gate6,gate5 and gate3.
They may be gangs to catch birds.
Pattern 2
Image:
Time:June 5, 2015 to May 20, 2016.
Where:general-gate1,general-gate4,general-gate7,general-gate0,
general-gate2, general-gate5,ranger-stop0, ranger-stop2.
Size:Only one car at a time,and each car-id is same.
Hypothesis:The car has not left the protected area for nearly a year.
He may be a researcher for nature and conservation study.
Pattern 3
Image:
Time:June 19, 2015 to October 5, 2015, every month on every Friday 14:30 to 16:00
and every Monday at 0:00 (mostly after 23:35 on Sunday) to 1:00.
Where:From entrance4 to general-gate5 to general-gate2 to ranger-stop0 to ranger-stop2
to general-gate1 to general-gate4 to general-gate7 to camping4.
Size:Only one car at a time,and each car-id is same.
Hypothesis:The car comes into the protected area every Friday
and leaves on Sunday, he may be a researcher for nature and conservation study.
Pattern 4
Image:
Time:June 12, 2015 to July 26 ,2015 come into the protected area on Friday
from 13:30 to 14:30and leave on Sunday from 22:20 to 23:20 .
Where:From entrance0 to general-gate1 to ranger-stop2
to ranger-stop0 to general-gate2 to general-gate5 to camping6.
Size:Only one car at a time,and each car-id is same.
Hypothesis :The car comes into the protected area only Friday
and leaves on Sunday, he may go camping.
Pattern 5
Image:
Time:March 4, 2016 to April 10, 2016,
every Friday after 12:15 into the protected area,
every Sunday about 22:15 left the protected area.
Where:From entrance3 to general-gate7 to camping0.
Size:Only one car at a time,and each car-id is same.
Hypothesis:The car is only on Friday into the protected area
and leaves on Sunday, he may be birdwatching.
3 – Unusual patterns may be patterns of
activity that changes from an established pattern, or are just difficult to
explain from what you know of a situation. Describe up to six unusual patterns
(either single day or multiple days) and highlight why you find them unusual.
Please limit your answer to six images and 500 words.
Unusual Pattern 1
Image:
Time:Tuesday and Thursday from 2am to 6am of every month (except April 2016).
Where:gate6,gate 5,gate 3.
Size:Only one car at a time,but each car-id is different.
Reason :These cars come in and out of the protected area
between 2 am and 6 am each time.And they only go to gate6,gate5 and gate3 where the only staff can enter.
They may be gangs to catch birds.
Unusual Pattern 2
Image:
Time:July 10, 2015.
Where:entrance1,ranger-stop1.
Size:Six cars.
Reason :From entrance1 to ranger-stop1 must go through gate2,
but these vehicles through gate2 are recorded in the data,
gate2 is the staff can enter the area.
Unusual Pattern 3
Image:
Time:June 19, 2015 to October 5, 2015, every month on every Friday 14:30 to 16:00 come into the protected area
and every Monday at 0:00 (mostly after 23:35 on Sunday) to 1:00.
Where:From entrance4 to general-gate5 to general-gate2 to ranger-stop0
to ranger-stop2 to general-gate1 to general-gate4 to general-gate7 to camping4.
Size:Only one car at a time,and each car-id is same.
Reason :In more than three months, this car only uses an ID repeatedly into and out of the protected area.
And it comes on every Friday and leaves on Sunday.
Unusual Pattern 4
Image:
Time:June 12, 2015 to July 26 , come into the protected area on Friday from 13:30 to 14:30
and leave on Sunday from 22:20 to 23:20 .
Where:From entrance0 to general-gate1 to ranger-stop2 to
ranger-stop0 to general-gate2 to general-gate5 to camping6.
Size:Only one car at a time,and each car-id is same.
Reason :In more than one month, this car only uses an ID repeatedly into and out of the protected area.
And it comes on every Friday and leaves on Sunday.
Unusual Pattern 5
Image:
Time:March 4, 2016 to April 10, 2016,every Friday after 12:15 into the protected area,
every Sunday about 22:15 left the protected area.
Where:From entrance3 to general-gate7 to camping0
Size:Six cars.
Reason :In more than three months, this car only uses an ID repeatedly into and out of the protected area.
And it comes on every Friday and leaves on Sunday.
4 –– What are the top 3
patterns you discovered that you suspect could be most impactful to bird life
in the nature preserve? (Short text answer)
Top1 :
These cars come in and out of the protected area between 2 am and 6 am each time.
And they only go to gate6,gate5 and gate3 where the only staff can enter.
The pattern could be most impactful to bird life in the nature preserve.
Top2 :
In more than three months, this car only uses an ID repeatedly into
and out of the protected area. Every month the car comes into the protected area
every Friday 14:30 to 16:00 and leaves every Monday at 0:00 (mostly after 23:35 on Sunday) to 1:00.
The car leaves the protected area too late to affect the mating of the birds .
The pattern could be second impactful to bird life in the nature preserve.
Top3 :
In more than one month, this car only uses an ID repeatedly into and
out of the protected area. The car comes into the protected area every Friday 13:30 to 14:30 and
leaves Sunday from 22:20 to 23:20. The car leaves the protected area too late to
affect the mating of the birds . The pattern could be last impactful to bird life in the nature preserve.
