How to measure usual environment with mobile positioning data? New data for „old concepts“ Old data for …
Usual environment means the geographical area within which an individual conducts his regular life routines… … not necessarily a contiguous area
The determination of the usual environment should be based on the following criteria:
a) Frequency of the trip (except for visits to vacation homes); b) Duration of the trip; c) The crossing of administrative or national borders; d) Distance from the place of usual residence.
Feasibility Study on the Use of Mobile Positioning Data for Tourism Statistics
Eurostat Contract No 30501.2012.001-2012.452, 31p. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/tourism/methodol
Movement track – GPS, MPS Good quality – location, timing We can ask respondents: about trips, transportation mode…
Phone use data: Call Detail Record… Low quality:
Anonymous data: we cannot ask about trips, transportation mode…
Using LAU-1 for defining usual environment Using LAU-2 for defining usual environment Official domestic accommodation stats (LAU-1)
Anchor point model: Regularity/timing Activity space ellipse: Standard deviation/ confidence

Microdata from mobile devices has high potential for statistics
New products, tailor-made products Statistical body can be also „conceptual body“ for definitions, algorithms
