Özet: With the increasing application of using mobile device and social media, large amount of continuous information about human behaviors is available. Data visualization provides an insightful presentation for the large-scale social media datasets. The focus of this paper is on the development of a mobile-device based visualization and analysis platform for social media data for the purpose of retrieving and visualizing visitors’ information for a specific region. This developed platform allows users to view the “big picture” of the visitors’ locations information. The result shows that the developed platform 1) performs a satisfied data collection and data visualization on a mobile device, 2) assists users to understand the varieties of human behaviors while visiting a place, and 3) offers a feasible role in imaging immediate information from social media and leading to further policy-making in related sectors and areas. Future research opportunities and challenges for social media data visualization are discussed.
