Abstract
AbstractLifestyle recovery captures the collective effects of population activities as well as the restoration of infrastructure and business services. This study uses a novel approach to leverage privacy-enhanced location intelligence data, which is anonymized and aggregated, to characterize distinctive lifestyle patterns and to unveil recovery trajectories after 2017 Hurricane Harvey in Harris County, Texas (USA). The analysis integrates multiple data sources to record the number of visits from home census block groups (CBGs) to different points of interest (POIs) in the county during the baseline and disaster periods. For the methodology, the research utilizes unsupervised machine learning and ANOVA statistical testing to characterize the recovery of lifestyles using privacy-enhanced location intelligence data. First, primary clustering using k-means characterized four distinct essential and non-essential lifestyle patterns. For each primary lifestyle cluster, the secondary clustering characterized the impact of the hurricane into four possible recovery trajectories based on the severity of maximum disruption and duration of recovery. The findings further reveal multiple recovery trajectories and durations within each lifestyle cluster, which imply differential recovery rates among similar lifestyles and different demographic groups. The impact of flooding on lifestyle recovery extends beyond the flooded regions, as 59% of CBGs with extreme recovery durations did not have at least 1% of direct flooding impacts. The findings offer a twofold theoretical significance: (1) lifestyle recovery is a critical milestone that needs to be examined, quantified, and monitored in the aftermath of disasters; (2) spatial structures of cities formed by human mobility and distribution of facilities extend the spatial reach of flood impacts on population lifestyles. These provide novel data-driven insights for public officials and emergency managers to examine, measure, and monitor a critical milestone in community recovery trajectory based on the return of lifestyles to normalcy.
