ABSTRACT

Mobile phone location, together with the individual identification of its user, can provide a new methodology to understand population mobility in contemporary societies (Miller, 2004). However, from a geographic point of view, most research published on mobile phone location has primarily focused on the spatial information requirements to support Location Based Services (LBS), or its visualisations, at the individual user level (Mountain and Raper, 2001; Dykes and Mountain, 2003, 2002) rather than at a society level. A recent exception of this is the work of Shoval and Isaacson (2006).
