Enhancing User Experience Through Sentiment Analysis for Katsina State Transport Agency: A Textblob Approach
Emmy Ajik

FUDMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCES, 2023

Katsina State Transport Authority is the state's government-owned transportation provider, operating in all local governments. Because of its extensive reach, it faces a difficult problem in measuring customer satisfaction with the services it delivers. The purpose of this research is to improve the experiences of Katsina State Transport Authority users by using sentiment analysis and the TextBlob library to categorize comments as neutral, negative, or positive. The study begins with meticulous data collecting using Google Forms to provide a representative sample that captures an all-encompassing view of user opinions. The study used feature engineering and model fine-tuning to improve the process, tailoring TextBlob's performance to the complexities of transportation-related feedback. The results reveal that 71% of respondents are usually happy with the agency's services, while 9% offered negative comments with ideas for improvement. This study's findings, which included sentiment analysis and topic modeling, present a road map for enhancing services and planning.

Sustainable governance in smart cities and use of supervised learning based opinion mining
International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (IJECE)

International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (IJECE), 2021

Evaluation is an analytical and organized process to figure out the present positive influences, favourable future prospects, existing shortcomings and ulterior complexities of any plan, program, practice or a policy. Evaluation of policy is an essential and vital process required to measure the performance or progression of the scheme. The main purpose of policy evaluation is to empower various stakeholders and enhance their socioeconomic environment. A large number of policies or schemes in different areas are launched by government in view of citizen welfare. Although, the governmental policies intend to better shape up the life quality of people but may also impact their every day's life. A latest governmental scheme Saubhagya launched by Indian government in 2017 has been selected for evaluation by applying opinion mining techniques. The data set of public opinion associated with this scheme has been captured by Twitter. The primary intent is to offer opinion mining as a smart city technology that harness the user-generated big data and analyse it to offer a sustainable governance model.

Sentiments Analysis On Public Land Transport Infrastructure in Davao Region using Machine Learning Algorithms
WARSE The World Academy of Research in Science and Engineering

Land transport infrastructure has been a vital part of a city. People nowadays use social media to post their sentiments towards developments in a city such as land transport. Government agencies have difficulty in identifying issues that arises from the people using social media towards land transport infrastructure. These social media posts in the form of a text can be analyzed using sentiments analysis, which is a significant task of Natural Language Processing (NLP). This research experimented on creating a model of sentiments on land transport infrastructure in Region XI (Davao Region), the Philippines from the social media website, and test a data set on the accuracy of the model. There are a total of 1,200 text data sets, and it's divided into two: test dataset is 25%, and the training dataset is 75%. The machine learning text classifiers used are Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest (RF) and Multinomial Naïve Bayesian (MNB) to process sentiments analysis of the text data sets. The performance of each classification model is estimated by generating confusion metric with the calculation of precision and recall, the f1-score. The accuracy rating was also computed. A comparison was also conducted based on the results of experiments of the three machine learning classifiers. Based on the resulting experiment, SVM has the highest accuracy, with 76.12% and a f1-score of 71.98%. This research will be utilized as support and notes for policy-making and development for land transport infrastructure in the Davao Region.

Local Resident Attitudes to the Sustainable Development of Urban Public Transport System
Anastasia Lukina

Sustainability

This article presents a study of the attitude of metropolis residents to the environmental development of the urban public transport system. The authors set a goal to assess the influence of values on the assessment of environmental initiatives of city authorities in the field of public transport and their attitude to innovations in this sphere. In the course of the study, four clusters reflecting the values of the respondents were identified. The results showed support for innovations that do not require changes in the transport behavior of the individual. At the same time, we observe differences in the perception of initiatives by representatives of different clusters when the innovation affects their transportation behavior. Hypotheses were tested as an analysis result of empirical data by determining the synthetic indices of values using factor analysis, the classification of respondents based on the obtained indices to identify groups with similar values using cluster analysis,...

Using data mining to explore the spatial and temporal dynamics of perceptions of metro services in China: The case of Shenzhen
Shuli Luo

Environment and Planning B: Urban Analytics and City Science, 2020

Improving perceptions of service quality is a promising planning strategy for increasing the attractiveness and retaining the ridership of public transport systems. The widespread use of social media presents an opportunity to investigate the performance of transport services from the customer’s perspective. This study proposes a framework for integrating quantitative and qualitative analyses to investigate the perceptions of transport services by mining data from social media. We utilise Sina Weibo data related to the Shenzhen metro system to illustrate a text mining process categorised by semantic, spatial and temporal information. On the semantic front, in addition to identifying service attributes and sentiment polarity consistent with previous literature, we find attributes specific to the Chinese context. We also identify clear temporal variations among different service attributes by visualising the number of corresponding microblogs across varying time scales such as hours, ...

Stakeholder perspective on urban transport system service quality
Ferdy N Miza

Different transport stakeholders have different needs for transport infrastructure and services. Achieving stakeholder satisfaction implies a total quality management (TQM) that continuously improves service quality. However, few studies have discussed service quality in relation to urban transport systems. This study proposes an instrument based on SERVQUAL for measuring urban transport service quality from a stakeholder perspective. The proposed instrument is developed and tested through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The gaps between stakeholder expectations and actual received and the gaps associated with stakeholders' expectations and the perceptions of these expectations by professionals are examined. Importance-performance analysis is used to construct a service attribute evaluation map for determining resource allocation to improve service quality. The application is illustrated through an empirical study to discuss the managerial implications in the Taipei metropolitan area. The analytical results reveal the existence of gaps and that stakeholders are more concerned with reliability and safety dimensions.

Sentiment Analysis of Social Survey Data for Local City Councils
Richard Watson

Journal of Sensor and Actuator Networks

Big data analytics can be used by smart cities to improve their citizens’ liveability, health, and wellbeing. Social surveys and also social media can be employed to engage with their communities, and these can require sophisticated analysis techniques. This research was focused on carrying out a sentiment analysis from social surveys. Data analysis techniques using RStudio and Python were applied to several open-source datasets, which included the 2018 Social Indicators Survey dataset published by the City of Melbourne (CoM) and the Casey Next short survey 2016 dataset published by the City of Casey (CoC). The qualitative nature of the CoC dataset responses could produce rich insights using sentiment analysis, unlike the quantitative CoM dataset. RStudio analysis created word cloud visualizations and bar charts for sentiment values. These were then used to inform social media analysis via the Twitter application programming interface. The R codes were all integrated within a Shiny ...

Stakeholder Value Network: Modeling key relationships for advancing towards high quality bus transit systems
BRENDA MEDEIROS PEREIRA

Research in Transportation Economics, 2018

Most urban transportation projects are complex as they involve different areas of knowledge and must accommodate conflicting interests of many stakeholders. Although good practices in public transportation do exist, many cities in Brazil and around the world are not able to maintain these improvements due to strong direct and indirect pressures from key stakeholders. The lack of trust among stakeholders has been stronger than the trust between them. Understanding the relationships between stakeholders and evaluating the critical paths are key to facilitating the implementation of improvements. This paper develops a qualitative and quantitative model that represents the stakeholders' network involved in planning, operating and monitoring public bus transportation, and identifies key stakeholders and critical paths for decision-making. To demonstrate the application of the model, we performed a case study in Porto Alegre. We identified 13 key stakeholders directly and indirectly involved in the process. Through the Stakeholder Value Network methodology, it was possible to qualify and quantify 59 value flows between stakeholders that can influence the implementation of improvements in the public transportation system. The results provide useful information to facilitate improvements and in the services provided to the population.

Planning City Development Directions with the Application of Sentiment Analysis
Dorota Jelonek

Prague Economic Papers

The aim of the article is to present a model of sentiment analysis tool application for planning directions of city development. The study presents a model of using sentiment analysis to build city development strategies as well as realization of projects related to it. The presented model is a part of a larger work on developing the concept of the Regional Spatial Business Community (RSBC). The RSBC is created on the basis of electronic communities built by stakeholders involved in the development of a given city. On the basis of surveys, a six-stage city development procedure is proposed. Using the aforementioned procedure, we describe potential data sources, the goals of sentiment analysis application and expected effects. Analyses of the applicability of sentiment analysis are made on the basis of observation of available tools. The obtained model is applicable; however, its implementation requires certain conditions to be met.

Amplifying citizens’ voices in smart cities: An application of social media sentiment analysis in urban sciences
Marc Aurel Schnabel

In the past decade, urban researchers have paid significant attention to the emergence of computer science and urban planning. According to the literature, social media as a pool of real-time citizen feedback can be investigated to inform smart city synergies. However, the success factors of such an approach have not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, various factors were derived from an extensive literature review to create an efficient e-participation platform. It is explained how our proposed platform 1) complies to the data protection regulations 2) uses advanced text analysis and natural language processing (NLP) tools to identify opinions and emotions 3) maintains persistent communication between citizens and city planners 4) incorporates creative visualisation techniques 5) is informative for its target audience 6) takes into consideration the socio-cultural diversity and 7) can be used as an informing tool in combination with offline methods of participation.

TRA-929: A Standard Lexicon to Measure the Level of Service of Public Transportation Services Through Online Transit-Oriented Discussions
Amer S. Shalaby

2016

Public involvement in operation and planning of transit services is becoming a major focus of public transportation agencies. With the growing population and diversification of ideas, distilling knowledge from public opinion to incorporate into decision support systems is a major challenge for transit agencies. The common practice is to collect information from customers via Customer Satisfaction Surveys (CSat). Although such surveys provide useful insight for transit agencies, their design, data collection, and interpretation is expensive and time consuming. Because of the qualitative nature of the questions in these surveys, inconsistency in respondents' perception of the survey questions is another challenge. Furthermore, for management and decision-making purposes, the results of surveys should be quantified into various key performance indicators. Lack of a standard quantification system causes some biases in the reported results. The advent of online social media has introduced a new bidirectional communication system. Developing a linguistic-based system to interpret customer discussions in social media about the transit system and to transform the discussions into useful information for the agency could overcome some deficiencies existing in CSat. The current study develops a standard lexical resource to categorize online discussions on Twitter into different Level of Service (LOS) indicators.

Novel Transit Rider Satisfaction Metric: Riders' Sentiments Measured from Online Social Media Data
Samiul Hasan

The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the use of an innovative social media-based data source, Twitter, to evaluate transit rider satisfaction. Transit authorities have access to vast amounts of performance metrics that measure ridership, timeliness, efficiency, safety, cleanliness, and service, to name a few. These performance metrics, however, are generally one-sided; they represent the interests of the business and are not customer-based. This paper recognizes the limitations of standard performance metrics and attempts to gauge transit rider sentiments by measuring Twitter feeds. Sentiment analysis is used to classify a population of rider sentiments over a period of time. Conclusions are drawn from totals of positive and negative sentiments, normalized average sentiments, and the total number of Tweets collected over a time period.
