Historical data is used alongside machine learning regression models to forecast nightlife activity levels, with the Multi-Layer Perceptron Regression achieving the highest accuracy. The study shows temporal signals—especially previous-hour observations—are the strongest predictors, while year and month variables also contribute meaningfully. Results demonstrate how terminal roaming data and predictive modeling can inform urban planning decisions and improve nightlife service scheduling and overcrowding management.","Master Degree Program in  \nMGI  \nInformation Management  \nPREDICTING THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE IN LISBON’S  \nNIGHTLIFE  \nLeveraging Machine Learning and Terminal Roaming Data to Support  \nUrban Planning  \nMaria Carolina Bentes Pimenta Paisana Santos  \nProject Work  \npresented as partial requirement for obtaining the Master Degree in Information Management  \nNOVA Information Management School Instituto Superior de Estatística e Gestão de Informação  \nUniversidade Nova de Lisboa  \nNOVA Information Management School Instituto Superior de Estatística e Gestão de Informação  \nUniversidade Nova de Lisboa  \nPREDICTING THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE IN LISBON’S NIGHTLIFE  \nLeveraging Machine Learning and Terminal Roaming Data to Support Urban Planning  \nby  \nMaria Carolina Bentes Pimenta Paisana Santos  \nProject Work presented as partial requirement for obtaining the Master’s degree in Information Management, with a specialization in Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management  \nSupervisor: Miguel de Castro Neto, PhD, NOVA Information Management School  \nCo‐supervisor: Bruno Jardim, PhD, NOVA Information Management School  \nSTATEMENT OF INTEGRITY  \nI hereby declare having conducted this academic work with integrity.

The primary objective is to predict these movements using historical data and machine learning models. Various regression models were employed and evaluated based on their accuracy in forecasting nightlife activities, with the Multi-Layer Perceptron Regression model emerging as the most accurate. Findings revealed that temporal features, particularly previous hour data, were the most significant predictors with year and month features also playing important roles. This research supports the potential of leveraging machine learning and terminal data in urban planning, providing insights that can enhance decision-making and improve the nightlife experience through strategic service scheduling and overcrowding management. Ultimately, the understanding of mobility patterns and key determinants of nightlife activity in Lisbon enhances the city's advance towards the development of a smarter and more sustainable urban environment.  \nKEYWORDS  \nSmart Cities; Lisbon; Urban Planning; Mobility Patterns; Nightlife Mobility; Modelling  \nSustainable Development Goals (SDG):  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \n1.
