This study examines the impact of virtual mobility on human mobility in Tehran's nightlife conditions, using Foursquare social media data. The research highlights the effects of Foursquare on nightlife and spatial interactions, emphasizing the importance of virtual mobility in shaping human behavior.
Social media can transfer virtual mobility to human mobility in the city. Foursquare social media gives actual data for assessing human mobility. Human mobility studies indicate that nightlife is attractive to the residents of large cities. So, the main issue of this research is to evaluate the impact of human mobility, created by virtual mobility on Foursquare, in actual nightlife conditions in Tehran. Also, the research question is about the effects of Foursquare on nightlife and spatial interactions. For this, active nightlife restaurants were targeted. Desired data from the Foursquare API and Tehran Municipality API, found the two spots of Tehran had the most activity at nightlife. By triangulation and networking, some triangles and their area were obtained in these two spots. Finally, it determined that ranges with less area can have a greater impact on urban space. The innovation of this study is in its method of conduct, which can be used as a model for other studies of human mobility, in developing countries that tend to identify attractive places within their cities.
