Transformation of Local Communities from Neighborhoods to Urban Commons in the Production of Social Representations of Space

The paper explores new types of social interaction between urban communities. These include translocal and hyperlocal identities that reflect the uniqueness of urban areas at different levels. These two types of identities have become more widespread due to the increasing communication of city residents in digital ways, especially through social media. The method proposed in this paper is based on the application of thematic modelling, toponym and keyword extraction, and spatial knowledge graphs. It allows the identification of links between different territories and hotspots of activity resulting from such communication. It also provides the ability to identify the semantic properties of such phenomena, which could be useful in further urban identity research.
