Abstract

The Integrated Multimedia City Data (iMCD) Project was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and created a multi-strand data platform that could be used to examine complex and multidimensional urban issues. The project focuses on the Greater Glasgow region in Scotland including the City of Glasgow. The design of the iMCD was motivated by research questions in sustainable transportation, healthy cities, lifelong learning, and their interrelationships. Further motivations arose from technological and methodological questions in data access, sharing and analytics. The iMCD platform consisted of the following six strands of data: 1 - Participant survey; 2 - Internet Information Retrieval, 3 - Remote Sensing Data; 4 - Sensor Network Data; 5 - Manually Annotated Database; and 6 - Background data from related projects. The Integrated Multimedia City Data, 2015: Secure Access includes the responses from Strand 1 of the project only. This includes a household survey, a travel diary and GPS coordinates collected from participants wearing a GPS device.
