We clusterize checkins sequences parsed from geosocial networks and study the properties of clusters (communities) that we obtain.

The practical interest to this problem could be explained from sociological and technological side.
From the sociological viewpoint the clusters collect users with similar behaviour, i.e. show communities of citizens. So, this research would help sociologists to understand some attributes of these communities without doing expensive surveys. For example, our study helps to calculate sizes of communities or to understand typical consumer trajectories of people from the communities.
From the technological point of view our study helps to forecast the next point-of-interest for users.
