  Abstract

In this study, we collected 200,578,703 geo-tweets and removed the twitter bots. Using the concept of activity radius, Twitter users are classified. Users are also divided first into domestic and overseas, and again domestic ones are divided into locals and non-locals. Statistical characteristics of activity strength and active area of Twitter users are described according to activity radius and home region, and the geographical distribution is presented visually. Through a case study of Las Vegas, we have identified the difference in activity strength and active area by the user’s home residence. We expect to derive theories about human mobility by analyzing various cities with the method proposed in this study.
