Developing an e-Learning Theory for Interaction and Collaboration Using Grounded Theory: A Methodological ApproachUsing Grounded Theory: A Methodological Approach
(Qualitative Report, 2021)Grounded Theory (GT) is becoming an increasingly prevalent research methodology in many fields. Although researchers use it in qualitative and quantitative studies, it is more popular with qualitative studies, as evidenced ... -
Modeling and Mapping Crime in Eastern Nairobi, Kenya
(Research Gate, 2013)This working paper provides a description of the phases of my PhD study. Drawing on assumptions from various theories of environmental criminology, this study applies various crime mapping methodologies to observe geographic ... -
A Spatial Approach to Surveying Crime Problematic Areas at the Street Level
(Research Gate, 2014)Reaching far beyond the realm of geography and its related disciplines, spatial analysis and visualization tools now actively support the decision-making processes of law enforcement agencies. Interactive mapping of crime ... -
Evaluating the Accuracy and Effectiveness of Criminal Geographic Profiling Methods: The Case of Dandora, Kenya
(The Professional Geographer, 2014)Criminal geographic profiling (CGP) prioritizes offender search, extensively reducing the resources expended in criminal investigations. The utility of CGP has, however, remained unclear when variations in environmental ... -
Communities as neighborhood guardians: A spatio-temporal analysis of community policing in Nairobi's suburbs
(Research Gate, 2015)The efficacy of citizens to participate in neighborhood-watch activities and report signs of trouble is important for safeguarding communities against crime. Community policing is a key policing strategy for utilizing the ... -
Analysis of community properties and node properties to understand the structure of the bus transport network
(Research Gate, 2016)Akin to most infrastructures, intraurban bus networks are large and highly complex. Understanding the composition of such networks requires an intricate decomposition of the network into modules, taking into account the ... -
Crime Risk Estimation with a Commuter- Harmonized Ambient Population
(Annals of the American Association of Geographers, 2016)Residential population data are frequently employed to link the crime incidence of an area with the number of residents to estimate the underlying risk. Human mobility patterns cause shifts in the baseline population, ... -
A contextualized and personalized model to predict user interest using location-based social networks
(Research Gate, 2016)The accurate determination of user interest in terms of geographic information is essential to numerous mobile applications, such as recommender systems and mobile advertising. User interest is greatly influenced by the ... -
An Empirical Approach to Mobile Learning on Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(IEEE, 2020)Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are made up of mobile nodes that are interconnected wirelessly, while topology changes as mobile nodes join and leave the network. MANETs do not depend on fixed infrastructure. Due to ... -
