Extending Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) with Geospatial Software as a Service: Participatory Asset Mapping Infrastructures for Urban Health

open access: closed, 2019
Community asset mapping is an essential step in public health practice for identifying community strengths, needs, and urban health intervention strategies. Community-based Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) could facilitate customized asset mapping to link free and accessible technologies with community needs in a mutually shared, knowledge ...

Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) systems and their interactions with Geospatial Semantic Web

2015
With the development of the Internet, especially Web 2.0, user-generated contents such as “Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI)” have gained attention and generated a lot of information over the Web. This chapter introduces the basic information about VGI and presents that VGI (or crowd-sourcing) applications have proven useful for gathering and ...

A Comparison of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) Collected in Rural Areas to VGI Collected in Urban and Suburban Areas of the United States

2017
Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) is being collected worldwide and may be a source for authoritative data providers such as national mapping organizations. In order to evaluate the usability of these data as part of an authoritative dataset, it is first necessary to understand the quality and reliability of the data.

Evaluating Internet-based public participation GIS (PPGIS) and volunteered geographic information (VGI) in environmental planning and management

Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 2015
An Internet-based public participation geographic information system (PPGIS) is an affordable and accessible tool for citizens to provide location-based volunteered geographic information (VGI) in environmental planning and management. Based on a conceptual model, this study uses the SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis ...

What Volunteered Geographic Information is (good for) - designing a methodology for comparative analysis of existing applications to classify VGI and its uses

2010 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2010
Volunteered Geographie Information (VGI) is the harnessing of tools to create, assemble, and disseminate geographie data provided voluntarily by individuals [6], and is regarded by the authors as an important component of Community Remote Sensing. What is currently lacking is a systematic framework that classifies the myriad of VGI products and sources.

Which ‘public'? Sampling effects in public participation GIS (PPGIS) and volunteered geographic information (VGI) systems for public lands management

Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 2013
Web 2.0 technologies including Public Participation Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS) and Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) provide methods for engaging multiple publics in public lands management. We examined the effects of sampling in a PPGIS/VGI application for national forest planning in the US.
