Key Factors Assessment on Bird Strike Density Distribution in Airport Habitats: Spatial Heterogeneity and Geographically Weighted Regression Model
Although the factors influencing bird strikes have been studied extensively, few works focused on the spatial variations in bird strikes affected by factors due to the difference in the geographical environment around the airport. In this paper, the bird strike density distribution of different seas...

The ordinary least square (OLS) model was used to analyze the global effects of different factors, and the Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) model was used to analyze the spatial variations in the factors of bird strike density. The results showed that key factors on the kernel density of bird strikes showed evident spatial heterogeneity and the seasonal difference in the different habitats.
