{"title":"A System Dynamics Approach on Modeling Homeless Prevention Strategy: A Case Study of LA County","authors":"Dandan Kowarsch, Zining Yang","doi":"10.54941/ahfe100986","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54941/ahfe100986","url":null,"abstract":"This article presents a system dynamic modeling approach to simulate the effect of a homeless prevention strategy on the homeless population in Los Angeles. Despite the implementation of rehousing strategy suggested by policy makers, the Los Angeles homeless population has increased over time. Traditional statistics analysis is widely used in researching this topic, but using aggregated data fails to provide sufficient explanations on the correlation between the permanent supportive housing and homeless population. Our system dynamics model overcomes this challenge in a unique way using stocks and flows. We model stocks as key factors that have significant impact on homelessness, including prevented homeless population, the population of the homeless who are in the temporary housing programs, and the population of those who are settled in the permanent supportive housing program. Flows provide details on how stocks are related to each other, allowing memories of the history and interconnection in the homeless system. Each stock may affect the other due to time delays and feedback loops through inflows and outflows. To assess the impact of homeless prevention programs, we perform simulation and scenario analysis by adjusting model inputs including ratios for prevented homelessness and the rapid re-housing. The system dynamics model helps unveil the unintended consequence introduced by the Housing-First policy and allows us to evaluate various policies to come up with data-driven recommendations. The simulation results suggest that prevention strategy could lead to a positive impact on reducing the homeless population. Indeed, the use of Housing-First policy along with a preventative program for homelessness could be considered as a more effective strategy for the mitigation of LA homelessness.","PeriodicalId":292077,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Human Systems Integration (IHSI 2022) Integrating People and Intelligent Systems","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123176516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, evaluation of the layout is very important. For the purpose of evaluating the layout of dwelling quantitatively, referring to spatial syntax, in this paper, three two-dimensional indicators, namely convenience, privacy and utility, are proposed after analyzing users’ psychological process and demand. First, dividing the interior plane into different sections, such as master bedroom and second bedroom, and then a mathematical model was pro-posed to calculate the relationships between each section including accessibility and correlation of each area referring to users' demands, so that users can evaluate the layout mathematically. The mathematical model provides a simple evaluation method for designers to design the apartment. It also provides a scientific basis for users to set out or remodel the apartment.","PeriodicalId":292077,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Human Systems Integration (IHSI 2022) Integrating People and Intelligent Systems","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120850114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis was carried out using qualitative interviews. We recruited five participants, both male and female, who differed in their VR experiences and in the intensity of their weekly physical activity. The results show that people who had already experienced VR technology were the most willing to participate in VR training sessions. A key perceived advantage of VR training is the presence of trainers, which seemed to strongly motivate participants. To increase motivation to train, it is necessary to: explain the reasons for performing specific exercises; adjust the order of exercises during training sessions; and utilise the capabilities of VR environments. This article presents solutions that serve to enhance the attractiveness of VR fitness training.","PeriodicalId":292077,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Human Systems Integration (IHSI 2022) Integrating People and Intelligent Systems","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125560100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The evolution of craft design shows the following trends: 1) the output diversified to satisfy the new needs due to technological advancement, including the material object, experience, service, and digital content. 2) the responsibility shifts from product design to activity design. 3) the boundaries are blurred; more and more industries, disciplines and people are participating in craft design.

More than in technology itself, it is through the technical act that these relationships are embodied: a process developed through experience which is not neutral to its socio-technical and organizational context, generating both pleasure and suffering. Through the analysis of work activity, using observations, individual and auto-confrontation interviews, a case study was conducted in a garment factory. Results give insight into four different dimensions which define efficient technical acts: understanding the machine, relationship with others, a job well done and risks and impacts on health. The management of these work dimensions is done to pursue a balance (which is always fragile) between work demands and health preservation.","PeriodicalId":292077,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Human Systems Integration (IHSI 2022) Integrating People and Intelligent Systems","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126256371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The presented paper focuses on a concept and first evaluation of a measurement environment. A multidimensional approach was chosen for the developed concept. The studied psychophysiological measures were: cardiovascular (ECG) and electrodermal activity (EDA) as well as the forearm and neck electromyography (EMG). In addition, the facial expression was recorded via camera. The results of a first evaluation show, that the combination of the different measures was successful and promising for the use in further research.","PeriodicalId":292077,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Human Systems Integration (IHSI 2022) Integrating People and Intelligent Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130103897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
