In this article, we propose a methodology for investigating social behavior databases using Formal Concept Analysis and we present two case studies. One addresses the global concern for road safety, where frequent accidents on roads and streets result in loss of human lives, severe injuries, and significant material damage, impacting not only the direct victims but also their families and society at large. To tackle this challenge, it is crucial to analyze the factors contributing to these accidents, particularly driver behaviors. The other case study uses a longitudinal database of students on exchange programs. It has 3 waves and allows for studies to better comprehend how the geographical mobility affects factors related to the health of the exchange students. We aim to discover patterns related to the consumption of alcohol within exchange students. The objective is the understanding of how the change in environment affects the habits and aggravates the states of these individuals which certainly would prove useful in the prevention of alcohol abuse.

摘要

In this article, we propose a methodology for investigating social behavior databases using Formal Concept Analysis and we present two case studies. One addresses the global concern for road safety, where frequent accidents on roads and streets result in loss of human lives, severe injuries, and significant material damage, impacting not only the direct victims but also their families and society at large. To tackle this challenge, it is crucial to analyze the factors contributing to these accidents, particularly driver behaviors. The other case study uses a longitudinal database of students on exchange programs. It has 3 waves and allows for studies to better comprehend how the geographical mobility affects factors related to the health of the exchange students. We aim to discover patterns related to the consumption of alcohol within exchange students. The objective is the understanding of how the change in environment affects the habits and aggravates the states of these individuals which certainly would prove useful in the prevention of alcohol abuse.
