요약Redistricting is the process by which electoral district boundaries are drawn, and a common normative assumption in this process is that districts should be drawn so as to reflect coherent communities of interest (COIs). To evaluate how well district boundaries align with COIs, states often rely on proxies such as compactness metrics and municipal split counts. However, recent legal challenges and scholarly works have highlighted the limitations of these proxies and the complexities of balancing multiple criteria when creating district plans.To address these challenges, this dissertation introduces the use of spatial interactions as a framework for modeling COIs, providing a direct means of quantifying the alignment between district boundaries and underlying communities. By leveraging large-scale human mobility flow data, this research demonstrates three distinct approaches to analyzing Wisconsin Congressional Districts, showcasing the value of spatial interactions in assessing and improving districting outcomes.In the second chapter, spatial interactions are applied to evaluate how well district boundaries align with human mobility patterns, offering a global assessment of district quality. This assessment is further integrated into outlier analysis, a common technique that compares proposed district plans against an ensemble of reasonable alternatives. In the third chapter, spatial interactions are combined with social interactions (e.g., Facebook friendships) to provide a multi-perspective evaluation of how interaction-based communities align with district borders. Using fuzzy set logic, the district affiliations of geographic subunits (e.g., census block groups) are quantified, enabling the identification of areas assigned to districts with which they do not share the majority of their interactions. In the fourth chapter, spatial interactions are used to identify and quantify the strength of district cores. Building on the rich club framework, a weighted temporal rich club analysis is introduced to detect district cores across varying levels of connection strength and to quantify the consistency of these connections over time.This dissertation contributes to the broader fields of GIScience, geography, network science, and political science. First, it demonstrates how direct measures of human activity can be used to quantify the communities that political districts are intended to represent. By grounding definitions of communities in empirical human-activity data, it offers a more precise foundation for assessing the alignment between communities of interest and political boundaries. Second, it introduces novel methods for evaluating the affiliations of geographic subunits, addressing the persistent challenge of vague and ambiguous regional boundaries in geography. By integrating multiple measures of human activity, these methods highlight areas where perspectives converge and diverge, offering nuanced insights into the district affiliations of these subunits. Third, it advances tools for examining the evolution of connections between hubs over time, enabling a deeper understanding of the temporal dynamics that shape central nodes within interaction networks.
