RESEARCH PAPER

Project Objective

Through our project, we aim to:

1. Derive individual walking distance between various key attractions and Airbnb listings in Downtown Seattle
2. Analyse the spatial relationships between various key locations and Airbnb listings in Downtown Seattle to determine if the listing's location to key places affect its listing price
3. Through the use of Local Geographical Weighted Regression (GWR) Model, we hope to help Airbnb owner(s) determine the better pricing for their listing(s).
