Assessment of volunteered geographic information for vegetation mapping
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2020Vegetation mapping requires extensive field data for training and validation. Volunteered geographic information in the form of geotagged photos of identified plants has the potential to serve as a supplemental data source for vegetation mapping projects.

The credibility of volunteered geographic information [PDF]
GeoJournal, 2008 The proliferation of information sources as a result of networked computers and other interconnected devices has prompted significant changes in the amount, availability, and nature of geographic information. Among the more significant changes is the increasing amount of readily available volunteered geographic information.

Despite the ‘mobility turn’ in urban studies, there is surprisingly little research into the role people’s everyday movements play in driving urbanisation processes.

Assuring the quality of volunteered geographic information [PDF]
Spatial Statistics, 2012 Abstract Volunteered geographic information (VGI) is a phenomenon of recent years, offering an alternative mechanism for the acquisition and compilation of geographic information. As such it offers substantial advantages, but suffers from a general lack of quality assurance.

The majority of spatial data provided as Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) are roads and other linear map features. Such data have been widely used in routing and navigation, road network update, emergency response, urban planning and more. Due to

Spaces of Volunteered Geographic Information
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013Open any recent geography article or book that discusses the internet and you will find the opening sentences replete with the terms ‘new’, ‘change’, ‘proliferation’ and ‘recent’. Apparently something is brewing in digital space that makes geographers very excited. Cliches aside, it is clear that many of the most recent additions to the online world (e.

Volunteered geographic information (VGI) can provide field samples for predictively mapping geographic phenomena. Yet the biased spatial coverage of VGI observations often undermines the fitness of use of VGI samples for predictive mapping.

A Gamification Framework for Volunteered Geographic Information
2015Using crowdsourcing methods to gather large amounts of useful geodata presents many challenges. One challenge is to attract volunteers to participate in crowdsourcing activities. Several studies conclude that to encourage crowdsourcing it is necessary to take into account people’s intrinsic motivation (e.g. fun, altruism, ambition).

Automated geographic context analysis for volunteered information
Applied Geography, 2013Abstract Several studies show the impacts of (geo)social media and Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) during crisis events, and have found intrinsic value for rescue teams, relief workers and humanitarian assistance coordinators, as well as the affected population.
