Ground truth drop list

Analysis Master 23-07-2026

The last cleaning step removed stops that had no matching place on the map: 21 real stops (68 stay records). This took the dataset from 975 to 907 stays.

Category Stops Rule
Underground 10 Location in the Shareo or Kamiyacho underground arcades, which ZTOWN does not capture (Spatial entity layers)
Manual verification 11 Checked one by one against the self-report record

The 11 stops removed after checking by hand (place names as the participants wrote them; participant codes are left out on purpose):

  • City Bakery, Minamoa
  • RIDERS Motomachi, Hiroshima Gate Park
  • Starbucks Hiroshima City Central Park
  • Hirogin HD (Hiroshima Bank head office branch)
  • Omnibus Roasters Motomachi
  • Fukuya to Taito Station underground passage (named "underground", but not in Shareo or Kamiyacho, so it is in this group)
  • Bus stop, Hiroshima Station
  • Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims
  • Pride of Hiroshima, Hiroshima Gate Park
  • Lawson Shimint
  • Coco's Restaurant Danbara

All 21 names were checked against the raw self-report data, and all of them matched.
