Generating a Located Synthetic Population of Individuals, Households, and Dwellings
2017
Some of the new approaches in urban modeling, such as multi-agent systems (MAS) or activity-based models (ABM), require inputs in the form of disaggregated individual data. But for privacy protection reasons, such data is seldom available at this level. One way to get around this obstacle is to generate a synthetic population. This paper presents a method for generating a population from fully aggregated socio-demographic and geographic data. Based on French examples, this method can be reproduced anywhere in the country providing a relevant linkage between the characteristics of agents and those of urban spaces. The proposed method is subdivided into two steps. First, a population of agent…

Publiczna prywatność w społecznościowym świecie - podejście młodego pokolenia
2018
Upowszechnienie portali społecznościowych sprawiło, że użytkownicy sieci inaczej zaczęli podchodzić do kwestii prywatności: dziś, mając ku temu odpowiednie narzędzia, chętniej udostępniają informacje o sobie i swoim życiu.

Informacje takie mogą zostać wykorzystane w różnych celach przez obce osoby. Niniejszy artykuł opisuje wyniki badania przeprowadzonego w celu opisania podejścia młodych osób do kwestii prywatności w cyfrowych czasach oraz świadomości zagrożeń wynikających z publicznej prezentacji pryw…
Internet of Things and biometric data versus employee privacy in the Polish case
2020
The Internet of Things is a modern technology that affects every area of human life, includ- ing employment relationships. IoT enables the processing of specific personal data categories, including biometric data, and entails the risk of employers interfering with employee privacy. Due to the use of intelligent solutions, the issue of employee privacy, which is, in princi- ple, a personal right subject to protection, becomes significant. The relationship between an employee and an employer includes two subjects of legal protection, the meeting of which may lead to internal contradiction. There is the employee’s dignity and privacy, on the one hand, and protection of reasonable interests of …
