Abstract

The nighttime economy is instrumental in driving economic growth, particularly in the post-pandemic era. Nighttime Light (NTL) data is a key source in nighttime economy remote sensing study, with its angular effect directly affecting result accuracy. This study compares the accuracy of identifying nighttime economic agglomerations (NEAs) in Shanghai using Black Marble NTL and POI data at three observation angles: near-nadir, off-nadir, and all-angle. The results indicate that under all three angles, landmark NEAs can be identified fairly well. However, near-nadir demonstrates superior sample library identification accuracy and Theil index performance compared to all-angle and off-nadir. The study reveals that near-nadir observations offer higher accuracy and better suppression of “pseudo-accuracy units”, making them more suitable for studying the nighttime economy. Furthermore, the study analyzes the spatial distribution characteristics of NEAs in Shanghai and finds a distinct “center-periphery” development pattern, suggesting imbalances in overall development. The presence of buildings with scattered high-low distribution and complex urban structures contributes to the variations in NEA identification under different satellite-observed angles. This study provides valuable insights into selecting the appropriate satellite-observed angle for studying NEAs using NTL data. It also explores the potential application of Black Marble NTL data products in socioeconomic remote sensing.

角度效应对夜间经济观测的影响:确定夜间光线遥感的最佳观测角度
夜间经济在推动经济增长方面发挥着重要作用,特别是在后大流行病时代。夜光(NTL)数据是夜间经济遥感研究的关键数据源,其角度效应直接影响结果的准确性。本研究比较了黑云母 NTL 和 POI 数据在近天顶、离天顶和全角度三个观测角度下识别上海夜间经济集聚区(NEA)的精度。结果表明,在所有三个角度下,地标性 NEA 都能很好地识别。然而,与全角度和偏北角度相比,近天顶角度的样本库识别精度和 Theil 指数性能更高。研究表明,近天顶观测具有更高的精度和更好的抑制 "伪精度单位 "的能力,因此更适合研究夜间经济。此外,研究还分析了上海近地天体的空间分布特征,发现了明显的 "中心-外围 "发展模式,表明整体发展不平衡。高低错落的建筑分布和复杂的城市结构是不同卫星观测角度下核辐射区识别差异的原因。这项研究为利用 NTL 数据研究核能源区选择适当的卫星观测角度提供了宝贵的见解。它还探讨了黑云母近地轨道数据产品在社会经济遥感中的潜在应用。

期刊介绍: Description The journal has an applied focus: it actively promotes the importance of geographical research in real world settings It is policy-relevant: it seeks both a readership and contributions from practitioners as well as academics The substantive foundation is spatial analysis: the use of quantitative techniques to identify patterns and processes within geographic environments The combination of these points, which are fully reflected in the naming of the journal, establishes a unique position in the marketplace. RationaleA geographical perspective has always been crucial to the understanding of the social and physical organisation of the world around us. The techniques of spatial analysis provide a powerful means for the assembly and interpretation of evidence, and thus to address critical questions about issues such as crime and deprivation, immigration and demographic restructuring, retailing activity and employment change, resource management and environmental improvement. Many of these issues are equally important to academic research as they are to policy makers and Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy aims to close the gap between these two perspectives by providing a forum for discussion of applied research in a range of different contexts  Topical and interdisciplinaryIncreasingly government organisations, administrative agencies and private businesses are requiring research to support their ‘evidence-based’ strategies or policies. Geographical location is critical in much of this work which extends across a wide range of disciplines including demography, actuarial sciences, statistics, public sector planning, business planning, economics, epidemiology, sociology, social policy, health research, environmental management.   FocusApplied Spatial Analysis and Policy will draw on applied research from diverse problem domains, such as transport, policing, education, health, environment and leisure, in different international contexts. The journal will therefore provide insights into the variations in phenomena that exist across space, it will provide evidence for comparative policy analysis between domains and between locations, and stimulate ideas about the translation of spatial analysis methods and techniques across varied policy contexts. It is essential to know how to measure, monitor and understand spatial distributions, many of which have implications for those with responsibility to plan and enhance the society and the environment in which we all exist.   Readership and Editorial BoardAs a journal focused on applications of methods of spatial analysis, Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy will be of interest to scholars and students in a wide range of academic fields, to practitioners in government and administrative agencies and to consultants in private sector organisations. The Editorial Board reflects the international and multidisciplinary nature of the journal.
