Consumer Data Research Support Service (CDRSS)
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Leeds
Department Name: Sch of Geography
Abstract
This project will establish a unique Consumer Data Research Support Service (CDRSS) for the supply and provision of new forms of 'Big Data' which are emerging in consumer markets. Big Data are frequently characterised as being high in volume, variety and velocity. In other words the data are continually changing (for example traffic sensors may capture the position of individual vehicles which are rarely stationary); the data are diverse (for example relating to the demographic characteristics of people, their movement patterns, their lifestyles and attitudes, social networks); and simply large, so that for example it is possible to retain data over long time periods as computer storage has also expanded sufficiently to permit this in many situations.
Retail and consumer organisations have been leading the way in the creation and extraction of value from Big Data. For example Tesco has used data from its Clubcard scheme to profile its customers based on their shopping habits and expenditure patterns. This in turn has allowed the company to maintain a long-term competitive advantage in product development, promotion and store formatting and network development. Telecommunications providers are now processing billions of transactions each day as callers interact with mobile telephone cells and wireless devices.
The CDRSS will capitalise on the growing realisation that Big Consumer Data can provide unique insights into social science questions, for example relating to prosperity, deprivation and exclusion; physical movement and behaviour patterns; healthy living, crime, family activities and social networks. The CDRSS will:
* bring together diverse sources of consumer data for the first time within a secure environment;
* produce tools for the anonymisation, aggregation and analysis of big consumer data;
* develop flagship research projects which demonstrate the value of consumer data in research studies;
* create the means for widespread access to these data amongst academic research users;
* explore mechanisms for extending this engagement to business, government and the general public;
* make an important contribution to training and capacity-building in consumer data analytics, and in this way it will therefore have a significant positive effect on the quantitative skills gap in UK social science;
The CDRSS will interact with existing and proposed investments, for example in Administrative Data, Research Methods, and Social Media; but at the same time it will create unique resources and its own distinctive community of users.

Planned Impact
As well as the numerous academic benefits that will flow from the Centre we are confident that the research will have a wider impact on policy and practice, specifically for: policy-makers; Organisations (including business, public sector, industry associations and third sector); and the general public.
Where policy makers are concerned we will build on existing engagement activities and relationships with both national and local government to ensure that the fundamentally new knowledge derived from the Centre is made known and informs the policy agenda, policy formation and policy implementation. The outputs of the Centre will have relevance and application. Examples are in relation to the movement and mobility of people for Department of Transport, in relation to food consumption for Department of Health, in relation to drivers of consumption (e.g. ethics/sustainability, weather) for Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, and in relation to consumer spending and credit for HM Treasury/Bank of England. The letter of support from Leeds and Partners indicates the level of enthusiasm of prospective partners for this type of work. As more and more data is sourced and analysts are able to make linkages and connections that are pertinent to smaller geographic areas to facilitate comparisons, this will be of interest to policy makers locally as well as national government.
Organisations that will benefit from involvement with the Centre are wide ranging and include: business (both data providers and others), public sector organisations, industry associations (e.g. British Retail Association), consumer bodies, and third sector non-profit organisations/charities. The various retail organisations will benefit because their data will be exploited as a resource in a somewhat different way to what it is currently used. Other organisations will benefit too. We aim to demonstrate that data collected about sales/customers can inform not only commercial but also social issues more generally For example, research on how consumption varies in urban and rural areas at different times of the year and in different weather conditions could inform local tourism strategies but also open up new commercial opportunities for businesses. Visitor patterns for a particular shopping area (e.g. the new Trinity shopping centre in Leeds which has been mapped by the PI and colleagues from mobile phone data) has commercial implications for the Trinity retailers and shopping centre managers as well as operational implications for local town centre managers and planners and public services (e.g. police, transport). As well as providing businesses with the opportunity to expand their Corporate Social Responsibility aims, the Centre will play a significant role in building capacity in analytics and big data analysis that will benefit both businesses and public sector organisations (see details below). There is also potential for the Centre to preserve legacy data from retail organisations that would otherwise be lost.
Lastly, are benefits for the public and communities more generally. Public understanding and support for the big data initiative is essential and the Centre will work with partners in the ESRC Big Data Network to support this aim and allay fears that may arise. This will involve a two-way communication process where information about the work of the Centre and the benefits derived from it is clearly communicated to the public and there is also wide opportunity for public feedback and consultation. By demonstrating how the data is used in aggregate, anonymised form and is capable of benefitting communities in new ways we expect broad interest and support.

| Description | Series of graphic visualisations developed by Information and Graphic Designer, Herwig Scherabon. The posters visualize CDRC data from Whenfresh/Zoopla, providing the public with easy to understand visuals that convey the insights of the data on internal migration. |
| Type Of Art | Artwork |
| Year Produced | 2016 |
| Impact | We are currently awaiting approval from Whenfresh/Zoopla to release to the media/general public |
| Description | We stated three specific objectives as follows: 1. "To exploit existing connections, and to initiate, nurture and develop new relationships with data providers. This will lead to agreements for the sharing and re-use of specific data sets". This objective has been fully realised. CDRC has established and maintained a meaningful dialogue with over 166 data partners, and this has led to data sharing agreements with approximately 30 organisations allowing widespread academic access (over 10,000 unique users) to novel data sets. Many other organisations have shared data bilaterally for a combination of intern projects, PhD research and MSc dissertations, which have in turn led to novel insights. 2. "To create a technical architecture which supports the delivery of data to a community of users". CDRC has created a technical architecture which has been accredited under ISO27001 to allow safe data sharing within our organisation and across a network of users. The data has more than 1.66m page views within the CDRC portal and around 155k unique visitors to this data portal. We have also developed a short course training programme that has trained over 1200 academic, public and private sector individuals in over 60 training courses, encompassing programming for data science and application of data analytics to mobility, consumption and health domains. 3. "To generate a portfolio of research exemplars, comprising both thematic programmes as well as more focused projects The research will be disseminated both nationally and internationally in the usual way". Wide-ranging research outputs have been produced from two thematic programmes - or 'driver projects' - identified in our original proposal as 'mobility' and 'ethical consumption'. A third driver project in 'healthy lifestyles' was later added and developed in equal prominence to the other two. The data have also been deployed in other disciplines such as political science, economics, sociology and psychology, for example through our Innovation Fund projects which have also encouraged access from ten partner universities/ Institutes outside the core CDRC network. The work has been disseminated to a global audience through more than 300 journal papers and conference presentations. |

| Description | The CDRC was established in February 2014. A strong flow of data into research projects has been established from a diverse network of partners and data providers. This has led to a substantial corpus of peerreviewed research outputs from the Centre. The generation of data products and their presentation within a flexible and accessible portal has ensured wide-ranging awareness. CDRC-Leeds has established a strong interdisciplinary research network across multiple institutions to create transformational capacity in consumer data research. Specifically, our programme has had substantial impact on: i) Commercial users: the data sharing agreements which we have initiated have allowed more than 30 commercial organisations to share data with over 100 academic users on over 90 different projects. Many other PhD projects and MSc dissertations have led to specific analysis and in many cases academic publication of commercial case studies. We have recently held a workshop with one prominent partner in the retai sector at which one of our Co-Is was invited to become an advisory board member of the British Food Nutrition Panel as a direct result of her research collaboration with the retailer. This collaboration has encompassed (on the part of the retail partner) data sharing, supervision of PhDs and interns in collaboration with CDRC Co-Is. This in turn has influenced them to start making policy changes with regard to their product listings. We are currently liaising with the retail partner over becoming a CDRC training partner as well (contracts currently under negotiation). ii) Government: our work has been reported back to diverse organisations including Cabinet Office, HM Treasury, DfT, Scottish Government and through local partnerships with e.g. Leeds City Council, West Yorkshire Combined Authority, Transport for Greater Manchester. We have also advised internationally e.g. to German Data Forum, Sloan Foundation, NSF, hosting visits from Malaysian Multimedia and Communications Commission, Nordic-Baltic Fintech Trade Delegation, and National Bureau of Statistics (People's Republic of China). iii) Public e.g. through our role in supporting and promoting the Leeds Digital Festival with training and engagement events, now covering two weeks in April/ May, and through our work to promote public appreciation of big data opportunities e.g. through the LifeInfo study, and Be Curious events. iv) Research & Innovation: the intern programme which has been developed since 2016 has provided a means to support 37 projects as of March 2020, spanning several disciplines and commercial/ government partners from Transport Systems Catapult, Burberry, Sky Betting & Gaming and Sainsbury's to Improbable. Many of our interns have gone on to secure jobs at these or similar companies, and one went on to win an international award for research excellence for her work on detecting hate crime through social media channels. CDRC at Leeds has also developed the National Propensity to Cycle Tool (NPCT) as a result of work with the Department for Transport. The interactive web based tool was launched in July 2015 and is aimed at planners tasked with prioritising where to invest to best realise uptake of cycling. The model not only provides insight into where cycling has the greatest potential to grow, but also calculates resulting societal benefits.The method has already attracted significant interest from local authorities around the country including those at Liverpool and Leeds. http://www.cedar.iph.cam.ac.uk/research/modelling/npct-tool/#sthash.sGcklVMC.dpuf. It has also led to its sequel research infrastructure tool, Cycling Infrastructure Prioritisation Tool (CyIPT) in 2018. The 2017-18 Innovation Fund scheme and funding enabled CDRC to support 10 unique research projects on topics with real-world applications as wide-ranging as FixMyStreet: Micro-geographies of civic engagement and neighbourhood environmental quality, one of the outputs of which is a website with maps of local authority defects like fly-tipping, where anyone may search for most-reported issues in their locality; to Investigating Domestic Energy Efficiency Data, which has led to the deposit of an EPC error database with the CDRC data store, and data from which has been shared with staff in Welsh Government to enable them to better track EPCs in their housing stock. (v) Education & Capacity Building: CDRC has hosted over 1000 attendees on over 60 training workshops in topics ranging from R for Spatial Data Analytics; Python for Beginner Analysts; Analysing and mapping public health data; and Data Science, Ethics and AI. Non-academic attendance at these training events has more than doubled since March 2019. |

| Impact | • This case study was successfully used by University of York in 2022 to enact their own positive action recruitment, and now represents a blueprint for how to do positive action effectively to level-up opportunities for underrepresented groups in recruitment to data science. • CDRC-Leeds's DSDP Co-ordinator, Kylie Norman, is an EDI Lead at the University of Leeds and spoke at the February 2023 Research Culture Carousel to an internal and external audience about the value of EDI allyship and how to carry out successful positive action recruitment. • Equitable recruitment practises within data science at CDRC-Leeds are part of a sustainable pipeline of EDI strategic activity, supported by CDRC-Leeds's suite of vision statements, in particular its Values Statement (see attached). EDI has been embedded as a strategic focus through appointments such as the DSDP academic advisory group EDI Chair, Dr Sajid Siraj. This appointment will enable CDRC-Leeds to further develop its approach to embedding EDI in its capacity building of early career data scientists. • CDRC-Leeds's work on positive action recruitment was recognised by the University of Leeds in June 2022 by being awarded the Research Culture EDI in Research prize which led to a podcast and article to further disseminate this work in December 2022. • The research prize from this award is funding a CDRC-Leeds project, Open Data Science for Schools, which is working with the Keighley Schools Together network in Bradford to widen participation from low income and protected characteristics years 8 & 9 students by inspiring them with data science careers, with the aim of encouraging them to stay in STEM education through GCSE into A Level. An outreach event is planned for May 2023, devised and delivered by CDRC data scientists, in partnership with Raspberry Pi's Code Club and local stakeholders such as Bradford City Council's Alliance for Life Chances. * DSDP Programme Co-ordinator Kylie Norman was invited to speak at the University Research Culuture Carousel alongside the Dean and Directors for EDI about the value of positive action recruitment as a tool for increasing equity in recruitment. |

The aim was to help identify and suggest ways to further understand and mitigate risks to vulnerable populations. Prof Birkin provided expert input on the following areas: 1. What does research tell us about the factors affecting vulnerable populations? 2. What do we know, and what don't we know about which populations and why? 3. How do we fill gaps in knowledge and why is it important for policymaking? 4. How do we turn data into evidence for policy making? |

| Impact | This research was instrumental in the passage of the CWIS amendment to the Infrastructure Bill through the House of Commons: "On the eve of Monday 26 January cycling in the UK reached a turning point, as a Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy was voted into the Infrastructure Bill by the House of Commons. The vote came less than a week after CTC unveiled new research by Leeds University showing that, if England were to meet the targets for increased cycle use by 2050 as proposed in the parliamentary 'Get Britain Cycling' report, this would yield economic benefits worth £248bn between now and then. The Get Britain Cycling report proposed raising cycle use from 2% of trips at present, to 10% (below German levels) by 2025 and to 25% (nearly Dutch levels) by 2050." The report mentioned was written by myself and Fiona Crawford (Institute for Transport Studies). Source: http://www.ctc.org.uk/news/20150128-cycling-walking-investment-strategy-agreed |

| Title | Cycling Infrastructure Prioritisation Toolkit (CyIPT) |
| Description | The Cycling Infrastructure Prioritisation Toolkit, is a prototype developed by the University of Leeds and funded by the Department of Transport. The purpose of the toolkit is to aid decision makers in finding the best places to put new cycle infrastructure. CyIPT uses data about the existing road network, such as speed limits, road types and traffic levels combined with information about cycling levels to recommend the most appropriate type of cycle infrastructure on each road in England. CyIPT then attempts to group its recommendations into buildable schemes, and evaluate those schemes by estimating: Construction costs Increase in number of cyclists Benefits from increased cycling Benefit cost ratios |

| Impact | The NPM calculator has been accessed hundreds of times to date. It has been shared on the Chartered Institute for Trading Standards Officers Knowledge Hub and improving the efficiency of the way the assess compliance with UK Government legislation around HFSS product placement in store. It has also been shared by the Obesity Health Alliance on twitter, who flagged it as a useful tool to their followers. The existence of the NPM online calculator directly led to the receipt of further funding (£95,000 for the MAAP project) to work with Leeds City Council to map outdoor food advertising across Leeds. The work won a £1000 Engaged for Impact Award prize from the University, which has been re-invested back into the tool to further develop its capacity for multiple product assessment which will bring about greater benefits for the research and policy communities. |

| Title | CDRC Carbon Footprint Calculator - Prototype version. |
| Description | An interactive dashboard, co-produced with Leeds City Council to provide a decision-making tool as part of their net-zero strategy. The tool requires an upload of a menu with ingredient breakdown. Using the recipe upload, the tool uses a carbon footprint lookup created using open data, to generate UK based estimated for the carbon footprint of the ingredients in the meal along with an aggregated value for each meal. The dashboard was created using Rshiny apps and is available as a webpage, provided to Leeds City Council members and catering staff. The prototype version has been developed to evaluate school meals in Leeds, as a follow up analysis of the recent 'climate friendly' menus introduced across the city. |
| Type Of Material | Computer model/algorithm |
| Year Produced | 2022 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | The Carbon Footprint Calculator has been developed to support decision making as part of the Leeds Climate Strategy and to help achieve their Net Zero targets, by reducing the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the Leeds food system. The development of this prototype tool has enabled conversations with and presentations to policy makers and social impact organisations in Leeds, sparking further application of the tool and engagement work. The development of this tool has also resulted in us running school engagement workshops with primary schools in Leeds, to extend the benefits and learnings from the tool to school children. Insights from the tool are being used to shape the type of data requested in future food contracting/supplier choice by the council. The insights are also being used to inform and re-design the school meals setting and meals that are on offer. The prototype has been trialled and feedback has been obtained as to the tool's current usability. This feedback has now been used to refine a final version of the CDRC Carbon Footprint Calculator and develop strategies to reduce Leeds' carbon footprint, future-proofed for application to be explored beyond school meals. |

| Title | CoSMoNorth: Comprehensive Spatial Model of the North |
| Description | The research outputs are i) the calibrated baseline agent base simulation model for the Northern Powerhouse region using tools that aid modelling in MATSim (Arup developed and otherwise) and support from City Modelling Lab at Arup and ii) the scripts to extract/handle data, apply the tools and regenerate the model. The data used for this model cover datasets from National Travel Survey, 2002-2020: Special Licence Access (i.e. households, persons and trips datasets), projected household and person datasets using SPENSER, Census, OSM, GTFS etc. One reason behind the construction of a large-scale transport model of the North is to apply the model to implement and address policy, societal and economic changes/plans happening in the North due to the government's Northern Powerhouse vision. Another purpose of the project stems from the need to have a baseline consolidated modelling framework for spatial simulation research applications at LIDA and University of Leeds. |

| Title | Consumer Vulnerability |
| Description | Some consumers are more vulnerable to marketing practices due to their personal traits such age, health or household makeup. This vulnerability varies by product and industry. Consumer vulnerability here is defined as the risk that a consumer's mental, physical or financial welfare may be damaged when engaging in a market interaction. While consumer vulnerability has been discussed at length in academic literature and regulatory guidelines, there has not been a comprehensive geographical assessment of consumer vulnerability in the United Kingdom. This study creates a geodemographic classification of consumer vulnerability at output area level. |

| Title | Leeds City Council Footfall Camera Aggregated Data |
| Description | The dataset contains footfall counts in Leeds City Centre supplied by Leeds City Council. There are 10 cameras around the city that monitor numbers of people walking past. These cameras calculate numbers on an hourly basis. The raw data is freely available on Data Mill North; however a cleaned and aggregated dataset has been produced for the purposes of analysis by Leeds Institute for Data Analytics in collaboration with the Consumer Data Research Centre. The dataset is comprised of hourly footfall counts and has been cleaned according to the needs of the research project for which they were gathered. Variables for British Retail Consortium (BRC) weeks and months are also present. Data are provided (as of 30th April 2021) in respect of: 10 locations identified by name. Further details can be gained by contacting Leeds City Council. The date and hour of each record Counts of hourly footfall generated by the cameras and cleaned of duplicates Filename of the csv file made available by Leeds City Council British Retail Consortium (BRC) week number, month number, month name and year The raw data for the study is generated independently by Leeds City Council and available for public use. Whilst it is already used commercially to show footfall trends in the city centre, it has featured in several pieces of novel research investigating suitability for representing the ambient (daytime) population. The project that generated the current version of the aggregated dataset focused on use modelling how changes in COVID-19 lockdown policies impacted footfall and predicting what 'business as usual' may have looked like. The locations with a full set of 104904 records (hours) are: Albion Street South, Briggate, Briggate at McDonalds, Commercial Street Combined, Dortmund Square and headrow. The data has been filtered to start in August 2008, which is when 7 cameras were fully operational - the 6 above and Albion Street North, which only has 83398 records due to missing data. The other cameras, which came online later, are Albion Street at McDonalds (2184 records), Commercial Street at Barratts (76368) and Park Row (2184). Some files were either missing data or structured in such a way that made it difficult to automate aggregation. These were omitted and are classed as missing, despite data being present. There are 793,558 records in total. |

| Title | Manually Collected Footfall Counts in Leeds |
| Description | Manual footfall counts (counts of people who walk past a particular point) were collected at ten sites between the 5th to the 9th of July 2021 between 10:00 and 16:00 each day. At the time of data collection, footfall cameras were installed at three of the ten sites: Briggate, Headrow and Commercial Street. The coordinates of each site are available in the 'LocationData.csv' file. Footfall counts were collected at two sites per day and three data collectors were located at each site. Data collectors were replaced during breaks to ensure continuity. The aim of the project was to capture manual counts of pedestrians to: Validate estimates of the ambient populations produced using a statistical model in three geographic areas within the Metropolitan Borough of Leeds, UK: Headingley, Wetherby and Leeds city centre. Validate the accuracy of footfall camera data captured in Leeds city centre. The accompanying dataset consists of 24 files providing manual footfall counts at ten locations. Each file contains the collection date and a timestamp, with each timestamp representing one count/one pedestrian. For each location, the files are numbered 1 to 3, representing the three data collectors. Due to data collection issues, timestamped data for the 5th of July 2021 at Bond Street and Vicar Lane are not available; however, the total counts recorded by each data collector at these locations are included in the dataset. Counting application Counts were logged using the iOS application Counter+ which is available free of charge via the App Store. The application allows counts to be logged with an associated timestamp, enabling the data to be used in temporal analysis. The data can be exported from the application as a .txt file for further analysis. The application stores a maximum of 1000 records, thus the data must be exported prior to reaching over 1000 counts to avoid data loss. Counting methodology Data collectors were recruited from the student body at the University of Leeds. The data collectors were instructed to count all pedestrians who were not cycling, skateboarding, scootering, or using any form of transport. Individuals using motorised mobility aids were counted. All children were counted including those in pushchairs or being carried. Data collectors were located in positions which did not impede the flow of pedestrians and allowed them to have an uninterrupted view of the count location. To ensure that all data collectors were enumerating pedestrians in the same geographical area, pedestrians were counted as they passed a pre-determined physical marker, for example a lamppost. At locations with a footfall camera installed, the footfall camera was the selected physical marker. Novelty There are currently no, or very limited, publicly available manually collected footfall counts. This makes it difficult to assess the accuracy of automatically collected footfall counts, which are commonly used in mobility and urban analytics research. Quality On Tuesday 6th July, there was heavy rain from 10:00 to 16:00 at both locations, North Street (Wetherby) and B6167 Otley Road (Headingley) which may impact the number of pedestrians. During the other data collection days, the weather was dry with no cloud between 10:00 and 16:00. On Friday 9th July at Commercial Street, a sales cart was in proximity to the footfall camera. This partially obscured the data collectors' view of pedestrian flows; it is unknown whether the sales cart would impact counts recorded by the footfall camera. Representation and Bias There are no expected representational issues or biases in the data. All people have a similar chance of being recorded by the human data collectors. See 'Counting Methodology' for details about people who were deliberately excluded due to their chosen transport method.

| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Charity/Non Profit |
| PI Contribution | Intern Allan Jard worked in partnership with UK Biobank to complete a project to better understand physical activity and sleeping patterns in a cohort of 100,000 people. Intern utilised UK Biobank data. Dr Law was the internship supervisor and is on the Wellcome-funded UK Biobank Activity Expert Group, with membership of the Sleep Working Group. An important focus is to build a resource that can explore questions about how sleep may affect clinical and health outcomes. The aim of this project will be to develop and validate methods/algorithms for using UK Biobank accelerometry data to estimate sleep and wake periods. In addition to the biostatistical expertise provided by Dr Law, the work will be done in close collaboration with Dr Eleanor Scott a clinical expert in sleep/circadian rhythms and cardiometabolic disease (Dr Eleanor Scott). This is a unique opportunity for LIDA, as very few large scale epidemiological studies collect objective measures of sleep/activity. |
| Collaborator Contribution | UK Biobank provided the data for this internship. Between 2013-2016 UK Biobank invited participants to wear a wrist-worn accelerometer to measure 7-day activity, with over 103,000 datasets collected. |
| Impact | The initial output was the development of the sleep and activity measures for quantifying accelerometer data within UK Biobank. These can be used as a key resource for other sleep researchers as part of the UK biobank. In view of the size of the dataset, the complexity and depth of the accelerometer data that will be obtained, and its potential value to sleep and activity researchers, we anticipate that these results will be published in a high impact journal. |

| Description | CDRC Internship (Natacha Chenevoy) - Monitoring hate crime and community tensions through innovative social media analysis, in collaboration with Lancashire Police |
| Organisation | Lancashire Police Service |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | Intern worked in partnership with Lancashire Police Service to complete a project to monitor hate crime and community tensions, using innovative social media analysis. Intern utilised Lancashire Police data for the study. Supervised by Carly Lightowlers and Nick Malleson. The overarching research question is: can the analysis of social media data provide an insight into changing community tensions and hate crime? This question will be addressed through two objectives. The first objective will be to determine whether the language of used in social media might be indicative of strong or weak community relations. It will begin with simple keyword-based analysis of the social media data, moving on to more nuanced natural language processing. The second objective will be to overlay alternative data sources that might supplement and validate the text analysis such as demographic statistics, the index of multiple deprivation, voting records, smart phone mobility data, etc., as well as routinely captured police hate crime data. This work will serve to scope the potential use of social media data for monitoring community tensions and hate crime alongside routine secondary data sources. The findings are thought to offer valuable insights into monitoring and developing effective policing strategies around hate crime and community policing. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Lancashire Police Service provided the data for this internship, specifically police recorded hate crime data. Delivery of these data was agreed by Lancashire and South Yorkshire Constabularies and LIDA has adequate facilities to store the data (it already houses data provided by West Yorkshire Police for another project lead by the supervisors). |

Application approved by CDRC Research Approvals Group on 26/09/2017. The research investigates the extent to which housing market forces are contributing to increasing transience levels in urban areas, particularly in London, wherein access to housing has become even more linked with the ability to pay. The research focuses on the private rented sector and investigates how its regulatory framework and the length of tenancy agreements impact the sense of security of private renters and social cohesion in neighbourhoods. The research also investigates issues of governance by exploring the work of local authorities as they are responsible for enforcing housing standards, and how these are being affected by the growth of the sector at a time of austerity cuts. Semi-structured interviews with private renters and those working for local authorities are being conducted and statistical analysis on rental transaction data and associated migration is being planned to shed further light on transience levels associated with the private rented sector Research underway at UCL lab. |

Application approved by CDRC Research Approvals Group on 04/09/2017). The demand for probiotics (or good bacteria) products surges on in the UK and globally despite lack of consumer understanding of how they work, equivocal evidence about their effectiveness, and regulatory caution about health claims made by probiotics manufacturers. The project deconstructs this important public health debate by asking a fundamental question: what drives consumer confidence in probiotics products when the evidence, and labelling policies, are fraught with controversy? We explore this question using datasets from three sources: a) a national socio-behavioural online survey of probiotics confidence and consumption, b) a social media analytics platform, and c) YouGov and British Population surveys from CDRC's data repository. Using geo-visualization methods, we will construct geographical profiles of probiotics understanding, confidence, sentiments, and consumption in the UK. Our project will culminate with dissemination of findings to schools, parents, practitioners and policymakers through theatre workshops, research and policy briefs, and a virtual seminar series.

Application approved by CDRC Research Approvals Group on 29/09/2017, and Leeds safe rooms will be used for data access. Obesity and physical activity are both national priorities for the UK Government - yet to date, approaches to reduce obesity and increase physical activity, have been meet with limited success. Both are now viewed through a social lens (oppose to a medical one). These aim of these projects are twofold: (1) investigate if the economic and social environment in which an individual lives is associated with attendance to and effectiveness of weight management interventions and physical activity levels; (2) identify if attendance at weight management interventions and self-tracking app use for physical activity are socially patterned. At the individual level results will allow targeting of resources to individuals, or subgroups of individuals most in need and at the area level results could inform intervention design and also be of interest policy makers in terms of increasing the effectiveness of public services and policy decision.

Application approved by CDRC Research Approvals Group on 05/09/2017. Leeds safe rooms will be used for data access. Improving the energy efficiency of homes reduces energy bills and carbon emission. Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) were introduced in the UK to measure the current efficiency of homes and encourage these improvements. Evidence from national EPC datasets show that the energy efficiency of homes is steadily improving over time. In these databases, many homes have multiple EPCs which indicate they have had some form of retrofit. However, it appears that the majority of houses with multiple EPCs do not, in fact, show much improvement in their score. This project aims to determine if national datasets around household and community income, property-value or other geographic measures can explain why people improve their homes. The outcome of this research could shape targeted policy to improve the thermal performance of homes, specifically those in community whose socio economic characteristics suggest they may be in greatest need of support.

Application approved by CDRC Research Approvals Group on 07/09/2017. This project has both methodological and substantive purposes. We aim to add substantially to national debates about the distribution of household income and geographical polarisation by describing patterns of income at the very local level. This will include examining between and within area measures of the income distribution. We will also show how small area income data can be used to add explanatory power to the housing thematic areas of interest to CDRC by including it in a model to predict residential property prices. In addition, we will also undertake validation work on the administrative data held by CDRC by comparing it with government survey data. The outputs will include a substantive policy report, methodological discussion paper, as well a new dataset. The resulting report, data and analytical models will enable new measures to be included in indices of local areas, such as the Index of Multiple Deprivation.

| PI Contribution | Processed and managed data access application and review process to CDRC Controlled Whenfresh/Zoopla data for Innovation Fund project 091 - Data on housing returns for the UK, with an application to quantifying the value of local healthcare and schools quality. Application approved by CDRC Research Approvals Group on 06/09/2017. Housing is by far the largest asset in UK household portfolios, and its importance has grown over the last two decades. It is necessary to have data on the returns to owning a home in order to be able to investigate a wide range of key policy issues for the UK. Because housing is such an important asset, gaining a full picture of regional inequalities requires data on how the returns to home ownership vary across regions. Similarly, understanding trends in intergenerational inequality requires evidence on returns to home ownership. However, there is little evidence on the returns to owner-occupied housing in the UK. Our project uses the unique CDRC data on UK housing sales prices, rental prices and mortgage lending to construct measures of the returns, to owner occupied housing for local areas in the UK, and uses them to value local amenities such as school and healthcare quality.

| PI Contribution | Processed and managed data access application and review process to CDRC Controlled Whenfresh/Zoopla data for project 105 - The impact of housing market investors: theory and evidence from the UK. Application approved by CDRC Research Approvals Group on 11/01/2018. What role do investors in housing markets play? Due to the lack of data availability, very little is known about the impact of investors in the UK housing market. Despite this, policy proposals are being implemented that aim to discourage investors from buying investment property. However, in recent academic work, it is far from evident that investors are necessarily detrimental to welfare. Additionally, the role of foreign investors is often questioned and looked adversely upon. Theoretical results in the economic literature have shown that the welfare loss caused by foreign investors is essentially zero so long as the investment property is rented out. This paper aims to provide empirical evidence of what investors do with the houses they purchase in the UK housing market. The research questions are: (i) who are the investors in the housing market? (ii) why do investors buy houses? (iii) how do investors buy houses? And, finally, (iv) what do investors do with their properties? The last question will have a strong focus on what foreign investors in particular do with their investment properties. User Agreement in preparation. |

| Description | Collaboration with Office for National Statistics Methodology Division |
| Organisation | Office for National Statistics |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Private |
| PI Contribution | Various ONS departments are interested in novel data sources which could support the production of small-area population statistics. As part of methodological decisions around future censuses, ONS have a number of active projects seeking to assess the feasibility of administrative and commercial data sources in capturing population and household statistics. Andy Newing (School of Geography), Jacob Van Alwon and Owen Hibbert (both LIDA DSDP) have explored the potential of dwelling-level water metering data to: 1. Assess the quality of dwelling-level water metering data supplied by an external data provider (a UK water supplier) and develop processes for data clearning and leak detection. 2. Assess the ethical and privacy concerns associated with working with these data at the dwelling and aggregate level and identify the appropriate temporal resolution for analysis. 3. Develop methodoloical approaches to determine characteristics of dwelling occupancy from these data - specifically to identify periods when a given dwelling is occupied/vacant. 4. Consider the extent to which these approaches could be used to classify properties according to their occupancy status and therefore to identify unoccupied properties, or those that may be associated with tourism. 5. To report on the potential future value of these data as a tool to capture small area tourism statistics and indicators of neighbourhood type/change. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Alongside the project team, ONS co-organised a Methodological Workshop to bring the project team together with a range of stakeholders within ONS, representing different teams/business functions. The workshop enabled detailed dialogue between the project team and methodological/domain experts at ONS, enabling us to: - Optimise some data cleaning processes based on ONS expertise and experience - Understand ONS' specific interests within this work and to adapt approach/outputs accordingly, thus maximising impact - Enter into ongoing dialogue with specific teams to further shape this and follow on work. Four further follow up meetings have taken place with specific individuals/teams and a publication (outlined below) has resulted from this work. |

| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | As part of the Government Data Accelerator Fund, for linking data to support trauma-informed practice and tackling adversity, Leeds City Council and the Leeds Institute of Data Analytics (LIDA) embarks on this 6-month project. The project is expected to identify factors correlated with lower levels of children's engagement in education and lower levels of return to school after the COVID lockdowns. It is anticipated that the research will provide insights for policy makers about which sub-groups of the population (e.g. by socio-economic group; geographical area; age) could potentially benefit from supportive interventions to address the ACEs that are associated with absence from school. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Funding, data and expertise. |
| Impact | Research findings shared with LCC with potential for policy impact; an impact case study written by the project data scientist Michael Baidu. |

| Description | DSDP: Approved Intent to Collaborate: Electronic/Online Word of Mouth (EWOM) DSDP in Collaboration with Morrisons |
| Organisation | Morrison Supermarkets plc |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Private |
| PI Contribution | Via the Data Scientist Development Programme (DSDP), the aim of the research is to investigate how resource scarcity influences grocery consumers' EWOM (Electronic/Online Word of Mouth) and how the effects of resource scarcity evolve over time. The research is investigating how comsumers react to resource scarcity via online word of mouth (twitter). Generally speaking, consumers EWOM swings between scarcity-reduction response (e.g., asking for a cheaper product option) and control-restoration response (e.g., showing more lenience towards vulnerable others, or consuming high-calorie food) over time. The academics will develop a programming function that the business partner can use to monitor the sentiment of consumers' EWOM on Twitter. Monitoring sentiment of consumers' EWOM on Twitter is important for businesses, as twitter sentiment is strongly associated with stock returns. They will also provide insights into dynamic change of consumers' response to resource scarcity, which helps the business partner to anticipate consumers' needs under scarcity and get prepared to meet consumers' needs. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Besides the data that we can collect, we also welcome partner/collaborator to provide matching datasets covering: 1. Data containing store geolocation and in-store foodbank donations at each location. This dataset can be used to study consumers' pro-social behavior (a type of control-restoration response) under scarcity. 2. Weekly cost of baskets and similar data that show the weekly change of product price, for example, weekly change of food price. This data can possibly work together with Twitter data to provide insights into customers' sentiment under scarcity. |
| Impact | Outputs from this research project include: 1. 4*/3* academic journal publications. 2. Conference paper and conference presentations at major conferences in marketing and data science. 3. A report of data-analysis results and implication to the businesses partner. The data scientist will lead the writing of this report. 4. A monitoring system (this might be a series of R programmes) on consumer sentiment, useful for businesses and policymakers to monitor consumer concern and wellbeing. We expect to have these research impact activities: - A network activity (a seminar, for example) with the business partner, policymakers and charities to disseminate the research findings and discuss the implication that helps the community mitigate the cost-of-living crisis. |

| Description | DSDP: Approved Intent to Collaborate: Perceptions of COVID Safety Measures in Guest Reviews from AirDNA Data |
| Organisation | AirDNA |
| Country | Spain |
| Sector | Private |
| PI Contribution | The landscape of the hospitality and tourism sectors changed drastically throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. As lockdowns were lifted, accommodation hosts contended with continuously evolving health and safety guidance. For Airbnb properties in particular, often hosted by non-professionals, guests couldn't expect consistency for thoroughness of compliance. Using AirDNA data previously acquired by CDRC, this work will examine Airbnb hosts' ability to meet guests' health expectations, based on perceptions derived from reviews. In contrast with publicly available Inside Airbnb data, the AirDNA data includes actual booking dates and revenue. Unsupervised segmentation of hosts and properties into categories will be performed, using features including hosts' status, time on platform, response metrics, revenue, listing type, booking cost, and maximum guests. Concurrently, reviews concerned with COVID-19 and topics around cleanliness will be identified, using fuzzy text matching or topic modelling. Sentiment analysis on this review subset will assess the performance of hosts/properties. Relationships between these sentiments and the host and property segmentation will be analysed. The data scientist can achieve quick wins with summary statistics for this recently acquired data, particularly regarding guest-written reviews of properties. They will get the opportunity to learn and apply knowledge of unsupervised classification methods and natural language processing techniques. |
| Collaborator Contribution | This projects uses already paid for AirDNA data, so we don't expect them to contribute further data per se. Our expectation is that if the DSDP participant ecounters any issues with the data, then a knowledgeable point of contact at AirDNA could potentially answer their questions more quickly and directly than a project supervisor could. Also, our plan is to check in with them monthly to present our progress, which provides the project with informal goalposts, and is an opportunity for AirDNA to potentially guide the course of the project if they have any insights to share. For example, if an intriguing pattern has emerged in the data, AirDNA could potentially identify it as an artefact of data collection that should be ignored, or alternatively confirm that it's of great interest to them. |
| Impact | The academics would expect to produce an academic paper, a derived dataset composed of categorisations of hosts/properties, and potentially a map or visualisation tool that shows geographic spread of types of properties (including properties that fared well/poorly against expectations of COVID-related health safeguards). |

| Description | DSDP: Intent to Collaborate: Can loneliness be modelled? Investigation of consumer loneliness models using Agent-Based Modelling |
| Organisation | Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | This project is a clear intent to collaborate, pre approved by the research partner, Bradford Teaching Hospital Foundation Trust (BTHFT). BTHFT/Connected Yorkshire has agreen to work with us should CDRC funding be approved. I was tasked to find a partner for a DSDP research project on loneliness with Dr Aulona Ulqinaku, Associate Professor of Marketing, Leeds University Business School and Dr Jiaqi Ge, University Academic Fellow, School of Geography. In a climate of social distancing and emphasis on handling most of the activities online and in isolation rather than in person and in company, we are dealing with mental health deficit. Only 20% of respondents of the Community Life Survey in 2021 reported not feeling lonely, with almost 4 million reporting often being overburden by feelings on loneliness. This situation is burdening the NHS that is trying to outsource mental wellbeing to charities. Loneliness is a subjective feeling caused by lack of quality social connections, social rejection, exclusion, or marginalization. Prior research suggests different behaviour and coping mechanisms based on whether loneliness is to be considered a trait (i.e., chronic and long-term) or a state (i.e., short term and momentary). We believe that by investigating the different models of loneliness, we can get a better understanding of how to mitigate loneliness. Using agent-based modelling, the project aim is to model social connections, rejection, exclusion and marginalization-all strictly related to loneliness-by simulating the interactions between agents of different characteristics and state, who are connected in a social network with varying number of links and link strengths. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The partner will provide the academics with data including anonymized reports and notes from GPs and mental health reports. The datasets allow for matching between the mental health reports and the GP notes, to associate loneliness with other potential symptoms either mental or physical. |
| Impact | Planned outputs include: 1. To create an aggregated dataset that wIll be used for theresearch, containing information on these variables that will be used and collected. The aggregated data sets will be made available to add to the CDRC repository at data.cdrc.ac.uk. 2. Visualisations, e.g. CDRC Maps or other interactive outputs. 3. Work will be submitted to academic conferences but also out to calls such as Parliamentary Inquiries (e.g, https://committees.parliament.uk/work/7205/prevention-in-health-and-social-care/). 4. Academic paper in a marketing or public policy outlet (e.g., Journal of Public Policy and Marketing). |

| Collaborator Contribution | PI is Alasdair Rae. This 8 month project seeks to bring together experienced and early-career academics from non-CDRC institutions (Sheffield, Stirling) and a registered charity (FixMyStreet, part of mySociety) to address key consumer-related questions about local neighbourhood quality across the whole United Kingdom. Through our early scoping work, we have also engaged directly with Keep Britain Tidy, Keep Scotland Beautiful and several local authorities (e.g. Trafford, Brent, Wirral, Cornwall, County Durham, Fife, North Lanarkshire) with a view to sharing our outputs with them at a later date. This project description sets out the motivation, aims and scope of the research programme, which we believe aligns well with ESRC themes on 'ways of being in a digital age' and 'housing'. Our project also has relevance to specific CDRC cross-cutting themes on 'urban mobility' and 'crime and policing'. |

The CDRC is also funding this Innovation project and supporting networking and research sharing by hosting events and workshops at which the PI will provide progress updates and have a chance to meet other project leads. |
| Collaborator Contribution | This project is very closely aligned to the CDRC theme crime and policing. Indeed, the growth of data in the Consumer Data Research Centre (CDRC) offers a unique opportunity to examine alternative denominators of crime and explore the utility of this data for police forces in allocating resources and better understanding the mobility and crime patterns of their urban centres. This project aims to examine three types of CDRC data, travel data, retail data, and footfall data (for 7 specific datasets requested see part B - data requests), and to ascertain the merits of each to examine national and local crime patterns in urban areas. It will also use twitter data and crowd sourced data available to the research team. It will explore this across seven crime types, burglary; theft from person and other theft; violence and sexual offences and robbery; criminal damage and arson; vehicle crime, shoplifting, and drugs. These data have been selected as mobility patterns will impact on different crime types in different way. For example, burglary may be more likely in areas with high residential populations but low daytime population. Theft is likely to mirror retail and footfall data. Violent crime, criminal damage and drugs are more difficult to predict and a combination of datasets may be best suited to understand their spatio-temporal manifestation. |

| Collaborator Contribution | The aim of this study is to inform this debate through a national examination of probiotic consumption patterns in the UK vis-à-vis public confidence in these nutritional supplements. We aim to: 1. Identify gaps in knowledge and public understanding of probiotic products and their health effects; 2. Explore the effects of media preferences and health information seeking behaviours on knowledge and conceptual understanding; 3. Explore the effects of intergenerational communication on probiotics perception and consumption; 4. Analyse social determinants of probiotics buying and consumption; 5. Evaluate public sentiment surrounding probiotic products and perceptions of their health effects through real-time and historical, longitudinal analysis of social media data across platforms; 6. Construct geographical profiles of probiotics consumption and confidence based on aims 1-5. 7. Disseminate findings through active engagement with local communities, practitioners, policymakers and industry using creative devices and existing institutional networks and capacity Methodology: We propose to examine the problem using three data sources: a) national socio-behavioural survey, b) a social media analytics platform, and c) the Consumer Data Research Centre (CDRC)'S existing datasets (YouGov and British Population surveys). |
| Impact | The impact strategy for this project is as follows: Impact Summary # 1: Increase in understanding of probiotics concepts, probiotics' effects on health, and literacy related to interpreting health claims among UK consumers. Impact Summary #2: Strengthen the capacity of UK public health practitioners and policymakers (shortmedium term) and their global counterparts (long-term) to develop targeted interventions, and policies focused on probiotics. Impact Summary #3: According to our industry partner, DuPont Nutrition and Health, our project will help the customization of innovative food solutions based on health concerns among consumers, tailor health communication messages to create awareness of benefits of probiotics to audiences across generations, and strengthen food labeling practices and policies. |

| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | The CDRC, as well as funding this project, is also providing opportunities for further networking amongst the research team from Birmingham involved through workshops and events. |
| Collaborator Contribution | This project speaks directly to the ESRC priority regarding the Ways of Being in a Digital Age and CDRC's priority of Big Data and Retail. It will utilise the representative nature of the British Population Survey (BPS) to explain the determinants of individual internet usage and online shopping patterns. Using the postcode information we will link the BPS with secondary data from ONS and with a novel source of big data from the Internet Archive and the British Library. The latter will enable the building of longitudinal measures about the richness of the local internet content at the level of the BPS responders in order to test whether the availability of online content of local interest can affect individual online behaviour. By employing multilevel modelling (MLM), this project will reveal the individual and contextual determinants of internet usage and online shopping. |
| Impact | This project will lead to 3 academic publications. The most matured one (attached here), which is about to be submitted for review and publication to a top academic journal, focuses on the individual and geographical predictors of internet usage. It tests whether the availability of online content of local interest can attract individuals online. Our underpinning assumption is that local internet content (LIC) in the form of websites with geographical reference represents online opportunities relevant at the local scale and, therefore, it can act as a pull factor for individuals to spend more time online. Such online opportunities can involve, for example, consumption opportunities of services and products provided by local businesses, governmental services such as services by local authorities, or third sector organisations present in a locality. An early draft of this paper was presented in the ERSA Congress in August 2018 (presentation attached) and a revised version will be presented in February 2019 in the Winter Seminar of the German Section of RSAI. A paper will be finalised and submitted for publication in semester 1 of 2019. The above were utilised for a keynote speech that the PI delivered during the 5th Greek Conference of Planning and Regional Development and an invited seminar at the British Library. |

| Collaborator Contribution | With the public release of all EPC certificates in 2017, it has finally become possible to study all houses which obtained a new EPC since 2007. Of the ~15 million EPC certificates in this database, ~1.3 million are duplicates from the same houses obtained on different dates. Although the EPC data currently allows the study of which properties have been improved and to what extent, it is of crucial importance to understand why the owners of these particular properties decided to made the changes. Was it, for example, due to an increase in resident income? Or was it to make the property more attractive when sold? The CDRC is in possession of several data sets that may help to answer this question; The WhenFresh/Zoopla Property Transactions and Associated Migration database contains prices, listing durations and building characteristics of many recent property transitions. The ACXIOM - Small Area Income Database contains information on income levels and occupations at the postcode level for almost all postcodes in the UK. Additionally, the CDRC has publically available geographic data for changes in deprivation index, crime rates, OACs, education levels and many more. |
| Impact | - An academic paper on the identification of errors in the EPC dataset. This has been submitted to Energy Policy and, at the time of writing, was under peer review. - The results of the EPC error identification have been submitted to the department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). BEIS held a call for evidence asking for ways in which EPCs could be improved. The timely nature of this call for evidence means the results have a high probability of influencing future policy. In particular, it was highlighted that machine learning has good potential in the future quality assurance of EPCs. - The results of EPC error identification have been submitted to staff in the Welsh government who are responsible for monitoring the EPCs of their housing stock. - The results of EPC error identification have been shared with members of staff in the office for national statistics - A version of the EPC dataset has been deposited with the CDRC. This version contains an additional flag to show if the EPC was identified as an error. |

As such, this project is squarely within the ESRC Priority Area of "Housing" and the CDRC Thematic Area on "Urban Mobility". We will combine several data sets to study how house prices, rents, and population flows respond to infrastructure and planning changes. The dataset we produce will contain rich data on these dimensions and so will allow us to estimate both households' Marginal Willingness to Pay (MWP) for public goods and other local amenities as well as the rate with which the value of those goods is capitalised into property values (capitalisation rates).The work described above will combine several data sources to create a new, comprehensive data set with detailed information on housing quality, prices, public infrastructure and local planning decisions. |

| PI Contribution | The CDRC is funding this project as well as providing access to Acxiom and Call Credit data. Networking opportunities for future research collaborations have also been provided through events and workshops hosted at CDRC. |
| Collaborator Contribution | This project has both methodological and substantive purposes. We aim to add substantially to national debates about the distribution of household income and geographical polarisation by describing patterns of income at the very local level. This will include examining between and within area measures of the income distribution. We will also show how small area income data can be used to add explanatory power to the housing thematic areas of interest to CDRC by including it in a model to predict residential property prices. In addition, we will also undertake validation work on the administrative data held by CDRC by comparing it with government survey data. The outputs will include a substantive policy report, methodological discussion paper, as well a new dataset. The resulting report, data and analytical models will enable new measures to be included in indices of local areas, such as the Index of Multiple Deprivation. |
| Impact | To date the project has had some impact. The project has two dedicated pages on the NatCen website, where findings are published. Two presentations of early findings have been given at events with CDRC partners and a blog has been published on the importance of analyzing income at a local level. Two reports, one with methodological aims and another with a substantive focus on house prices, were published on the week commencing 17th December, alongside another blog. |

| Collaborator Contribution | Housing is by far the largest asset in UK household portfolios, and its importance has grown over the last two decades. It is necessary to have data on the returns to owning a home in order to be able to investigate a wide range of key policy issues for the UK. Because housing is such an important asset, gaining a full picture of regional inequalities requires data on how the returns to home ownership vary across regions. Similarly, understanding trends in intergenerational inequality requires evidence on returns to home ownership. However, there is little evidence on the returns to owner-occupied housing in the UK. Our project uses the unique CDRC data on UK housing sales prices, rental prices and mortgage lending to construct measures of the returns, to owner occupied housing for local areas in the UK, and uses them to value local amenities such as school and healthcare quality. |
| Impact | The project on various stages of development has been discussed with both academics and policy experts in the housing area (all the discussions are recorded in ResearchFish). Dr. Philippe Bracke has shared his knowledge of the work with his colleagues from the Bank of England. The aspect of regional disparities in housing returns was discussed with selected participants of the Broken Housing Market conference co-organized by NIESR, many of whom were policymakers. Finally, the research seminar organized in NIESR has generated a lot of interest in the CDRC datasets as potential valuable source to be exploited in the further research. |

| Organisation | University of Manchester |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | The CDRC is funding this project. Networking opportunities for future research collaborations have also been provided through events and workshops hosted at CDRC. |
| Collaborator Contribution | We propose to map data on debts and insolvencies by companies using a technique called Bayesian Surprise, to identify spatial patterns where levels of these outcomes deviate from what we would expect. This research would contribute to identifying unique areas of concentration for these outcomes. While analysis of 'new' sources of data allows for identification of crime hotspots, so does the application of 'new' techniques to data such as County Court Judgement (CCJ) Records. In particular, we consider the application of Surprise Maps to visualise CCJs. The implications of the project will be useful for creditors, company law practitioners, law enforcement in financial and corporate crime areas, so we trust that it complies with the crime and policing strand of the CDRC call. Further, we align with the ESRC call for interdisciplinary approach to methodological innovation in the study of macroeconomics, by applying the technique of Bayesian Surprise maps to explore data on debt and insolvencies across the UK. |
| Impact | 1.

| PI Contribution | A speculative approach by the Centre for AI & Climate has led to a more focused, co-ordinated joint effort between the CDRC at Leeds and the University of Leeds' Global Food and Environment Institute to more proactively align shared research objectives in relation to the food system, covering thematic interests in common spanning production, processing, distribution and consumption. An initial workshop has taken place, and an application has been made on behalf of senior academic interested parties to internal University of Leeds policy engagement funding with a view to supporting a public stakeholder-facing consultation event, for which plans were already in train (as at January 2023). |
| Collaborator Contribution | Direct contributions from interested partners will be invited at an event scheduled to take place in May 2023. |
| Impact | While outputs are still in development, the overarching objective is a planned phase of policy engagement resulting in a joint and aligned policy brief. The intention is that this will ultimately be in the service of a more cohesive food system offer on behalf of the University of Leeds which can be tailored to stakeholders locally, regionally and nationally. |

| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | As part of its core data service, CDRC Leeds facilitated the academic review of a research proposal to use the UK Women's Cohort Survey Questionnaire. Following acceptance of the proposal, our research team provided project monitoring and overall support via the Centre's Research Management Process (RMP). This consisted of a project kick-off meeting, midpoint review, and a discussion at the project's conclusion on potential outputs and impacts. The research team additionally facilitated direct contact and dialogue between the project leads and data collection team members based elsewhere at the University of Leeds, particularly on occasions when technical queries arose in relation to the raw data being analysed. The research team received positive feedback from the project leads for the quality of support they received. |

| Title | Error identification for Energy Performance Certificates |
| Description | This software analyses Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and identifies possible errors based on a number of criteria. In the first instance, EPCs which are duplicates of each other are identified. These duplicated are caused by errors in the EPC lodging process. Next, EPCs which contain non-physical parameters are identified. For example, EPCs which describe a house that moves from a cavity wall to a solid wall. These errors are likely the result of human error. Finally, a random forest is trained to identify errors based on comparisons with neighboring EPCs. For example, a if a house is labelled as detached and all its neighbors are terraced, the detached house is likely an error. This random forest is then applied to the data for final error identification. |
| Type Of Technology | Software |
| Year Produced | 2018 |
| Impact | Software was applied to the full EPC database of 15 million entries. The errors identified by the software will be released to the public, allowing for more accurate analysis of the EPC database. |

| Results and Impact | Social science research makes inference about systems based on analysing a representative dataset, however the prevalence of inadvertent missing data values could skew the dataset and compromise the validity of the thesis. By re-construing the distribution of the missing data to be at random, and if the data inobservance is a distinct design feature of the data measuring sensor, then the best course of action put forward by the statistics community (Rubin, 1976) enables valid inferences to be made about the parameters of the system by applying Bayesian theories to the incomplete dataset. The above hypothesis is applied to big consumer datasets revealed from the UK railways, which have many inadvertent omissions. The data is rich, comprehensive and has national coverage hence the desire to exploit them fully, often beyond what they were originally intended. In the case of railways ticketing data the desire to use the data for passenger mobility studies beyond just facilitating revenue sharing amongst train operators, has meant that precise flows and number of journeys per ticket (journey factor) needs to be ascertained. At the moment, number of journeys made with season tickets are unknown, some train stations are grouped so that passenger flows to specific stations within the group are unknown, regional multi-modal transport operators (PTE's) sell tickets of specific coverage that are valid for use on buses and trains, with no accurate sense of number of journeys made with these PTE tickets. These wide range inobservance in ticketing data have to be objectively in-filled (imputed) to create a requisite dataset (Heckman, 1979) for mobility analysis. Current industry practice has been to use proxy trip rates for period season tickets and ad hoc logical rules about where multi-modal tickets are likely to be used. In this research a principled infilling methodology is developed whereby a data model is constructed, enabling the omissions to be construed as missing at random MAR (Little and Rubin, 2014), facilitating the imputation of all unobserved values and measures of uncertainty associated with the imputation results. Regression modelling and subsequent analysis is validly conducted using the complete dataset, and a case study of rail heading (whereby passengers travel further to access a rail service when there are commensurate closer services) is investigated in West Yorkshire, identifying the governing exogenous socio-economic, demographic, urban morphology and network endogenous variables. KEYWORDS: big consumer data, railways ticketing, inobservance, missing data, infilling, imputation, missing-at-random, journey factor, passenger flows, data values, data model. |

The question was heavily influenced by perceived pressures brought about by migration, as 'spending cuts' were on a per-pupil basis. I provided evidence to show that it was a cohort effect, not a migration effect, with an intake of a particularly large cohort of children from a group of mothers with unusually high fertility being the key contributing factor. This was contrary to the prevailing (non-evidence informed) view of why there was an issue. |

| Results and Impact | The conference was an opportunity to showcase the work of the CDRC and set it in its broadest context. We started with two keynote speakers - Judith Batchelar OBE (Director of Food Matters International, formerly Director of Sainsbury's Brand) and Lauren Sager Weinstein (Chief Data Officer, Transport for London). We then had three parallel sessions, focusing on CDRC themes (Health & Wellbeing, Urban Analytics and Sustainability), with twelve researchers presenting research findings on eleven different projects. Our final session was an in-conversation with four early-career researchers about their experiences on the CDRC's training programmes and working on collaborative industry/academic projects. The event increased people's knowledge about the CDRC and will lead to new connections and collaborations (with both academia and industry). |

| Results and Impact | The National Infrastructure Commission invited us to provide evidence on transport capacity for UK cities for the National Infrastructure Assessment (NIA), published in July 2018. The NIA makes recommendations for how the infrastructure needs and priorities of the country should be addressed. Government are required to formally respond to the recommendations made in the NIA. The evidence led to the assertion in the NIA that "transport networks are close to capacity in many UK cities" and the recommendation that "investing in urban transport can support productivity and quality of life". Impact from this work is a direct contribution to the shaping of future infrastructure priorities. |

The intended purpose is about reflecting and observing the UK's prospective in every sectors, such as education, healthcare, environmental protection, business and politics. For ModernWeekly (China), I used to write weekly (counting 40 articles) and the print circulation was closed to 1 million. For Phoenix Cities (China), I wrote two long article and one was about London DLR history. The print circulation was among urban professionals in China (50,000). For UK-Chinese Times (UK's largest national Chinese newspaper), I write for their editorial commentary weekly (counting 150+ articles). While the print circulation is mainly for Chinese population in the UK, it is often picked up by the Chinese news outlets from China for UK's special news coverage. For UK Business Post (UK's business newspaper in Chinese) I have written 42 articles about British SME business. The print circulation was freely available in most Chinese business outlets. My writing has often sparked online discussions about how Chinese business leaders or government leaders can learn from the UK's experience. While I don't have precise measure for direct impact on readership, it does reflect on my increasing "Chinese Twitter" weibo account - closed to 20,000 followers in China. I have been invited to write for China or Taiwan business leaders about how they could promote ethical consumption or ethical business enterprise. |

| Results and Impact | To support DSDP project "Exploring the efficacy of different methods for comparing pedestrian simulations against empirical data", a report has been published online. It is still an on-going activity, however it's aim is to support anyone interested in methods for comparing simulated data against real empirical data. The notebook includes code as well as extensive comments to support learning. It is hoped that it will fill a need for demonstrating how such analysis could look done, especially in R. Data scientist's experience working on the project has demonstrated a lack of such resources. |

| Results and Impact | This 3 day seminar looked to address several issues: What focus should be used to predict trajectory; what are the potential uses of accurate trajectory prediction and what degree of accuracy is required; what is the relationship between accurate predication and an understanding of the generating process- can you have one without the other; what extent do movement observations convey information on the underlying behaviour of moving phenomena; what is the relationship between movement and its environmental context? To what extent changes in movement patterns convey information on changes in the environment and visa versa; can a classification of trajectory generating mechanisms and associated trajectory properties be classified? The seminar involved researchers from Animal Behaviour, GIS, Computational Geometry, Data Science and other fields. |

| Results and Impact | Digital Catapult Centre Yorkshire 6th July 2015 Re:centre, University of Bradford Overarching purpose: To develop and test the proposition that the digital catapult Centre Yorkshire should lead the development of an international 'Patient-Experience' R&D Lab and work programme. Objectives: • To articulate a vision and objectives for an international patient experience R&D programme and Lab • To create a 'road map' for achieving that vision over the next 10 years, incorporating a programme of projects and initiatives • To identify and prioritise practical project interventions for the next 3 years Attendees representing: University of Bradford, University of Leeds, University of York, University of Huddersfield, London Digital Catapult, Bradford Digital Catapult, EPSRC, AHRC, mHealth Habitat, Leeds City Council, Bradford Metropolitan District Council and BT Participants were asked to introduce themselves and speak briefly about what they were bringing to the project. A presentation was given by Graham Hitchin from Directional Thinking, providing some background and an introduction to the 'Designing the Digital Economy' report along with a focus on how design thinking is central to the process of this project. Graham stressed the importance of putting the user at the centre of the process and outlined some of the design models that had been used in the build up to putting the report which highlighted the strengths of all 3 digital catapult centres. Liam Sutton from Bradford University then spoke briefly about the background to this meeting and the digital Catapult in Bradford and the background to the patient experience Lab programme including some of the impacts the patient experience lab could have. The room then split into small groups in order to: Construct a shared vision to combine, to add to, and or to discard the impacts highlighted in Liam Sutton's presentation. Once each group had created a vision they were assigned a group of people and asked what the experience from the Lab would feel like for these groups. 1. Citizens with poor health outcomes & low usage, health professional bodies and corporate tech and pharma companies. 2. Citizens with poor health outcomes and high usage, NHS organisations and academics/ researchers 3. Citizens with good health outcomes and low usage, health professionals and local authorities 4. Citizens with good health outcomes & high usage, GPs, primary care trusts, supply chains and SMEs Finally each group was then asked to create 3 project templates that the patient experience lab could consider that would be taken back to the digital catapult and Innovate UK to help shape future funding calls etc. Projects ranged from creating a digital health passport that combine all health records in to one place (and or a project focusing on the barriers to such a project) to projects on how to increase the amount of innovation into the health sector to enhance the patient experience (for example cutting down waiting times etc.) Continued engagement and projects with the Digital Catapult in Yorkshire. |

Abstract: In their lives, people face decisions about risks affecting their health, finances, and environmental footprint. Experts in different domains may be asked to develop communications with the goal of improving people's judgments and decisions about specific risks. Such communication efforts may fail if experts lack information about what wording people prefer to use to describe relevant concepts, what information people need or want to know to make more informed decisions, and what barriers people experience when trying to change their behavior. In this presentation, I will present the social science behind effective communication development, and end with key lessons learned. |

| Results and Impact | Title: Developing effective communications to inform employees' decisions about energy use Seminar description: Companies are increasingly seeking to reduce employees' energy use. One of the potential challenges is that employees are not responsible for their companies' energy bills, and therefore may have no incentives to reduce their energy use. Moreover, communication efforts may fail when communication designers have incorrect intuitions about what drives consumers' energy use or willingness to save. This presentation will present the social science of effective communication development, highlight its main findings, and give specific recommendations about how to design communications to reduce employees' energy use. |

The four University of Leeds/CDRC researchers were given the opportunity update the audience on the methods or results of our analysis regarding the effect of interventions run by food retailers. Some projects are aimed to determine whether interventions shifted a particular customer group's food purchasing patterns towards the Eatwell Guide. The projects received funding from the IGD who hope to publish the results of our analyses (whether the trial was successful or not) soon. For a brief portion of the meeting, a retail partner joined us to discuss partnership, collaboration, their intervention, and other related matters. Plenty of discussion was brought up regarding the nature, methods, and context of IGD trials. The University of Leeds/LIDA/CDRC team consisted of myself, Madeleine Thomas (undergraduate researcher), Alexandra Dalton (data scientist), Dr Francesca Pontin (data scientist), Emily Ennis (Research and Impact Manager), Dr Michelle Morris (Associate Professor and my project supervisor), Prof William Young (Chair of Sustainability and Business and my project supervisor), and Prof Mark Birkin (CDRC PI and co-director of LIDA). |

| Results and Impact | The Open Data Science for Schools (LODSS) is a 6-month project, running from Feb-July 2023, to utilise £3k funding provided by the University's Research Culture team to widen participation in the Data Scientist Development Programme (DSDP). This project is working with the Keighley Schools Together Network (KSTN) through outreach visits to schools from our data scientists (April-May 2023) to introduce careers working with data as potential careers for all. We will then invite engagement visits from students into LIDA to inspire them about careers working with data (June-July 2023). Keighley is an area of high diversity, deprivation and food insecurity, and its schools are located in low-aspiration, lack-of-positive-role-model neighbourhoods. We believe strongly in co-production for successful collaborations, so we will work with the Keighley Schools Together Network to co-produce our outreach visits around the theme of data and the food environment. We will target yrs 8 & 9 students, so that we can encourage underrepresented groups and those from low income households in particular to think about pursuing STEM subjects into and beyond GCSE and further education, with a view to obtaining careers working with data. |

| Results and Impact | This keynote address was entited 'Understanding and Informing People's Decisions About Climate Change' Abstract: Consumers face many daunting decisions about climate change, mitigation and adaptation. Communication efforts to inform these decisions may fail if communicators lack information about what information people need or want to know to make more informed decisions, and what barriers people experience when trying to change their behavior. In this presentation, I will present examples of how behavioural decision research can help to understand and inform people's decisions. |

The right communication approach at the right time can mitigate negative consequences for the millions of people forced to practice social distancing with subsequent feelings of being isolated, as well as people experiencing financial constraints in their lives that affect their wellbeing and behaviors. Whether you're a new business or have been around for centuries, Aulona will discuss ways in which digital brand communications can best address the psychological and financial consequences, typical during this crisis, leading to win-win communications and outcomes for both companies and consumers. |

| Results and Impact | In September, the Northern Powerhouse Partnership launched its digital agenda looking at digital connectivity and needs to drive the North as a leader of the next industrial revolution. As part of this launch, they worked with EY to deliver an innovation sprint across the North covering four cities in just one day. This innovation sprint took place on Thursday, 20 September, examining how we will innovate together to put the North of England at the forefront of the next industrial revolution? This was an opportunity for business leaders and entrepreneurs to share different perspectives about the opportunity digital presents for business transformation and to hear more about NPP's report. The Government's recent Artificial Intelligence sector deal feels like a great catalyst for us to start to have a debate around how we leverage this and other opportunities effectively to lead the next industrial revolution. We produced tangible outputs that we can share with Government to assert our shared commitment to seizing the opportunity, with a clear breakdown of how we can make that happen. There is a lot of talk about digital but we're not sure that businesses are all aware of what it actually means for them and the future - we want to help unlock that. This was a chance to hear from other businesses and experts in the room about how they're navigating challenges to drive transformation. |

The workshop was aimed at everyone interested in using OpenStreetMap (OSM) to support sustainable transport planning, in professional or advocacy contexts. It was practical and aimed to familiarize participants with the "tools of the trade". Two sessions were run: one online and one in-person to increase the reach. About 30 participants attended the workshop and a few reported that they learnt a lot and are motivated to develop their programming skills further and apply newly acquired skills at work (e.g. NHS). Moreover, a tutorial was designed and developed, which is openly and freely available to everyone to use as a learning material at any time.

| Primary Audience | Industry/Business |
| Results and Impact | Shrink to fit: Using less, generating our own and buying smart - renewable energy and the challenges we face UK electricity demand is increasing while the generating capacity of our aging power infrastructure declines. With dwindling global fossil fuel reserves, instability in many fossil fuel-producing regions and the need to decarbonise power generation in the face of the threat of climate change, the need to think about how we use our energy and where we source it is urgent. The UK has made legally-binding commitments to deliver 15% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020. Currently, just 5% of our power is renewably sourced. But what challenges do businesses of different sizes face when considering their energy use? Can we do more to use less? How aware are we of domestic energy alternatives, such as biogas or ambitious wind and tidal industry projects? and are we, as businesses and consumers, ready to pay for it? M&S has partnered with Future Biogas in purchasing 35,000 Mega-Watt hours of biomethane certificates, a move which will reduce its carbon footprint by over 6,400 tonnes and source the equivalent amount of energy to heat 15 M&S Simply Food stores all year round. Join us as guest speakers from the renewable sector and M&S' Head of Energy Supply and Risk, Gio Patellaro, explore how we can embrace renewable energy and how to overcome some of the challenges associated with change - with expert insights from Professor Wändi Bruine de Bruin, from Leeds University Business School, on understanding and informing consumer behaviour around energy and climate change. |

| Results and Impact | I presented a paper on "A Framework for Big Data in studies of Urban Mobility and Movement". This paper develops a framework for the use of big data in studies and analysis of urban mobility and movement patterns. The framework development stages consist of applying human behaviour theories to conceptual models of urban mobility, to develop analytical methodologies. Empirical studies then enable a validation of the model, and application to forecasting and policy analysis. This urban mobility analysis framework is applied to the analysis of individual movement patterns, with an application in Yorkshire, UK, and to the forecasting of passenger demand due to changes in accessibility, a new railway station and a new residential housing scheme in Yorkshire, UK. After my talk Michael Batty, Bartlett Professor of Planning at University College London and Chair of the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA) asked questions relating to possibility of getting results from the analysis as UCL had been doing similar results for many decades without conclusive outcomes. |

| Results and Impact | Presentation to 6 Leeds City Council members each representing a different area of catering and council food suppliers, including a demonstration of the prototype Carbon Footprint Calculator. The prototype is currently focused around school dinners, however the demonstration sparked conversation around further application of the tool across the wide variety of council run food venues in Leeds. Councillors discussed how they saw the tool could benefit their respective area of catering and what challenges may need to be overcome in order to incorporate it. Feedback from this session was used to refine the tool and extend the reach of the project, such that the final version will be used across the wide variety of council run catering businesses as well as potentially by their suppliers. Councillors also debated how best to use insights from the tool to influence their decision making processes, to the aim of reducing their carbon emissions. |

| Results and Impact | The British Academy of Management run Professional Development Workshops (PDWs) with the purpose of enhancing the professional skills of management scholars. Alongside Professor George Baltas (Athens University of Economics and Business) and Dr Charalampos Saridakis (University of Leeds), I led a Workshop on Frontiers in Data-Driven Retail Management, targeted at non-specialists who are interested in knowing how we can use consumer data to aid managerial decision-making, discover behavioural patterns, and extract meaning from an ever-growing universe of information. The main impact from this event was to raise awareness among management academics as to how to incorporate data and data analytics into their research in the area of retailing, but also generally. Professor Robson's part of the workshop focused on some of the research work and approaches of the CDRC. Management scholars sometimes follow established patterns of research in terms of the methodological approaches they use and the sorts of questions they seek to answer. This workshop showed the audience how to incorporate data to produce high quality research outputs that have pragmatic relevance. The subsequent Q&A session addressed any uncertainties the audience had about such approaches that might impede the change to using data analytics. |

| Primary Audience | Professional Practitioners |
| Results and Impact | Submission for RGS-IBG Conference 2016 accepted for presentation. Social science research makes inference about systems based on analysing a representative dataset, however the prevalence of inadvertent missing data values could skew the dataset and compromise the validity of the thesis. By re-construing the distribution of the missing data to be at random, and if the data inobservance is a distinct design feature of the data measuring sensor, then the best course of action put forward by the statistics community (Rubin, 1976) enables valid inferences to be made about the parameters of the system by applying Bayesian theories to the incomplete dataset. The above hypothesis is applied to big consumer datasets revealed from the UK railways, which have many inadvertent omissions. The data is rich, comprehensive and has national coverage hence the desire to exploit them fully, often beyond what they were originally intended. In the case of railways ticketing data the desire to use the data for passenger mobility studies beyond just facilitating revenue sharing amongst train operators, has meant that precise flows and number of journeys per ticket (journey factor) needs to be ascertained. At the moment, number of journeys made with season tickets are unknown, some train stations are grouped so that passenger flows to specific stations within the group are unknown, regional multi-modal transport operators (PTE's) sell tickets of specific coverage that are valid for use on buses and trains, with no accurate sense of number of journeys made with these PTE tickets. These wide range inobservance in ticketing data have to be objectively in-filled (imputed) to create a requisite dataset (Heckman, 1979) for mobility analysis. Current industry practice has been to use proxy trip rates for period season tickets and ad hoc logical rules about where multi-modal tickets are likely to be used. In this research a principled infilling methodology is developed whereby a data model is constructed, enabling the omissions to be construed as missing at random MAR (Little and Rubin, 2014), facilitating the imputation of all unobserved values and measures of uncertainty associated with the imputation results. Regression modelling and subsequent analysis is validly conducted using the complete dataset, and a case study of rail heading (whereby passengers travel further to access a rail service when there are commensurate closer services) is investigated in West Yorkshire, identifying the governing exogenous socio-economic, demographic, urban morphology and network endogenous variables. KEYWORDS: big consumer data, railways ticketing, inobservance, missing data, infilling, imputation, missing-at-random, journey factor, passenger flows, data values, data model. |

Experts in different domains may be asked to develop communications with the goal of improving people's judgments and decisions about specific risks. Such communication efforts may fail if experts lack information about what wording people prefer to use to describe relevant concepts, what information people need or want to know to make more informed decisions, and what barriers people experience when trying to change their behavior. In this presentation, I will present the social science behind effective communication development. |

| Results and Impact | • CDRC-Leeds has trained 72 early career data scientists through its Data Scientist Development Programme (DSDP) 2016-2023. Only 12% of the data scientists 2016-2021 identified as being from the Global Majority, so the Programme worked with HDR UK in 2021 to instate positive action recruitment to address this underrepresentation. The team at CDRC-Leeds responded to the University's call-to-action in its newly-launched 2022 EDI Strategy by disseminating its approach to positive action recruitment in the Case Study, "Strength in Diversity". This has resulted in policy impact through positive action recruitment becoming one of 6 new work streams in the University's EDI strategy. This case study lays out the value of positive action recruitment in signalling the intent to create more equitable recruitment through expanding reach and relatability of roles traditionally majority-filled by white men. It has since been used to enact a positive action recruitment case at Universities of York and Sheffield (2022 and 2023). |

Experts in environmental and health domains face the challenge of communicating about those risks to various audiences without a background in health or environmental science. Such communication efforts may fail if experts lack an understanding of their audience, what language they prefer, and what information they need or want to make more informed decisions. In this presentation, I will present a behavioral decision research approach towards developing effective communications. Examples focus on sustainability, climate change, and HIV prevention, but recommendations can be applied across multiple domains. |
