Previous studies have focused on the linear relationship between recreation behavior and environmental variables. However, to inform the planning and design of recreational spaces, it is essential to understand the factors that contribute to differences in the spatial distribution of recreation behavior. This study investigates the characteristics of visitor behavior in urban mountain parks in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, China. It describes the distribution of tourist numbers and the diversity of behaviors in these parks and explores the landscape driving factors of visitor behavior, as well as the interaction effects between the factors from the perspective of spatial driving forces. The results indicate that (1) The observed behaviors in the three parks are primarily access behaviors. The number of visitors and the diversity of behaviors show a high level in the morning and evening and a low level in the midday. (2) There was minimal variation in behavioral composition and behavioral diversity among the study plots of different elevation gradients in the three parks. However, the contrasts between different landscape types were more pronounced, with impermeable plazas exhibiting the highest behavioral diversity and park roads demonstrating the most homogeneous behavioral diversity. (3) The impact of environmental factors was more pronounced than that of landscape pattern factors. The environmental factors that most strongly influenced passing, dynamic, and static behaviors were spatial connectivity value, hard space proportion, and number of recreational facilities, respectively. In contrast, the hard space proportion was the strongest driver of behavioral diversity. Moreover, the interaction between the hard space proportion and spatial connectivity value was more pronounced in driving behavioral diversity, as well as the three behaviors.

Ultra-dense network (UDN) deployment is one of the well known key technologies for enhancing the 5G network data traffic and network capacity. However, UDN deployment brings about many problems such as frequent handover, decreasing Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE). The access points' selection and handover decisions making always affected by several factors no matter we consider from the user side or from the network side. A scientific and effective execution scheme has direct influence on the overall network performance enhancement and high users' satisfaction especially in the context of ultra-dense network, where one user usually has many potentially achievable access points and the mobility is complex there. In this paper, we propose a kind of improved nonstochastic learning approach suits for the multi-objective optimization to achieve the goal of high performance and low frequency handover, by which the handover decision executes once after a given period and the user could learn the dynamic contextual competitive score (CCS) recorded during the period. We evaluate the results of the scheme by two parameters called satisfaction-ratio and handover times. The results show that users could connect to theirs reasonable access points soon without a lot of handover happens.

Urban parks are fundamental to building sustainable and inclusive cities, yet the mechanisms linking their spatial configuration to human activities and social functions remain insufficiently understood. A scalable multimodal framework is developed to quantify how spatial visibility is associated with patterns of park use and the provision of social ecosystem services. A total of 94,635 geo-tagged user-generated images from 148 parks in Vancouver, Canada, were analyzed using the Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) model to classify user activities into six behavioral categories. Concurrently, airborne LiDAR data and space syntax analysis were used to derive three visibility metrics—Mean Isovist Area (MIA), reflecting internal openness; Mean Visual Integration (MVI), indicating visual connectivity within the park interior; and External Isovist Ratio (EIR), representing edge openness and boundary visibility. The results indicate that EIR exhibits the strongest and most consistent relationships with user activity patterns, positively associated with family recreation, social vibrancy, and physical activity, while negatively linked to nature immersion and quiet relaxation. MIA shows moderate associations with socially interactive and child-oriented activities, whereas MVI contributes little explanatory power compared to localized visibility conditions. These findings highlight spatial visibility as a critical design attribute that is closely associated with human–forest interactions. By illustrating that moderate visual openness and edge permeability are associated with more inclusive and multifunctional patterns of park use, actionable insights are provided for urban park planning and design, and the promotion of social sustainability.
