The interplay between urban space, local community, and social media in each case study requires diverse methodologies that are both computational (i.e. machine learning, social network analysis, and natural language processing) and ethnographic (i.e. semi-structured interviews, thematic analysis, and site analysis). The book views social media not as a replacement for the local community or urban space but rather as a translation of the uses and meanings of all three realms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to students, researchers, and instructors in a number of disciplines including urban design\/planning, media studies, geography, and communications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Sauda,Ginette Wessel,Alireza Karduni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367459108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367459109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Eric Sauda","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136009089279,"sku":"9780367459109","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5ad2acc7-8758-43b1-bfd1-ad4b3705c504.jpg?v=1770159903","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-media-and-the-contemporary-eric-sauda-9780367459109","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
