The submarkets are created using a novel spatiotemporal clustering method referred to as Multidimensional Spatiotemporal Change\u2013DBSCAN (MDSTC-DBSCAN), which incorporates the temporal change in transaction prices along with spatial proximity to identify spatial areas with similar transaction prices. It represents an advancement over MDST-DBSCAN for this use case, as it considers the change over time as valuable information rather than a constraint that further splits the clustering groups. The results of the case study in Vienna indicate variations in price growth rates among the submarkets (i.e., contiguous regions with similar prices and price growth rates) that confirm the importance of considering the temporal changes in transaction prices. With respect to the Viennese case study, a lower Moran\u2019s I value was observed for 2022 compared to previous years (2018 to 2021), indicating a higher level of homogeneity in transaction prices. This finding was also supported by the cluster analysis, as less expensive clusters demonstrated higher rates of price increase compared to more expensive clusters. Future research can enhance the algorithm\u2019s usability and broaden its potential use cases to other multidimensional spatiotemporal event data.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi14020072","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,12]],"date-time":"2025-02-12T10:25:57Z","timestamp":1739355957000},"page":"72","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Segmentation of Transaction Prices Submarkets in Vienna, Austria Using Multidimensional Spatiotemporal Change\u2013DBSCAN (MDSTC-DBSCAN)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Lorenz","family":"Treitler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Exploreal, 1010 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5998-7343","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ourania","family":"Kounadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography and Regional Research, University of Vienna, 1010 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"189","DOI":"10.1080\/00330124.2015.1033671","article-title":"Local Spatiotemporal Modeling of House Prices: A Mixed Model Approach","volume":"68","author":"Yao","year":"2016","journal-title":"Prof. Geogr."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"105292","DOI":"10.1016\/j.landusepol.2021.105292","article-title":"Spatio-Temporal Stability of Housing Submarkets.
