Abstract :
Traditional social network models mainly consider the logical relationships betweens social nodes. This paper added geographic spatial information into the nodes of typical city/town social network models, and proposed an individual-based social network model with spatial-temporal information. The collecting and pretreatment methods of social and geographic data were discussed, and in the research of detailed modeling methods, the theoretical methods and implementation measures of modeling individual social relationship chain and individual daily behavior spatial-temporal model were advanced intensively. This social network model could be extensively applied in many fields, such as epidemic spread simulation and analysis.
