Caption

The weighted KDE of analysis of the data from the POIs in Pekanbaru (blue), indicating urban functional delineation, overlaid over a Sentinel-2 map of the city. The five deeper blue areas are the hotspots of urban activity, which correspond to urbanized areas. The borders of the delineation do not correspond to the borders of the urbanized area on the map, which indicates a difference between how urban functional delineation and traditional urban delineation define urbanization
