Does Linus' Law Apply to Data Quality in Volunteered Street View Imagery (VSVI)? Mechanisms Contributing to VSVI Data Quality Improvement for Environmental Audits

Transactions in GIS, Volume 29, Issue 1, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Street View Imagery (SVI) is crucial for urban environmental audits. Although Volunteered Street View Imagery (VSVI) has the potential to provide higher spatial and temporal resolution than traditional SVI, the use of such user‐generated data is currently limited by the inherent spatial heterogeneity in contributions and unclear quality ...

Validation of Regional Positioning Service User Connections as Support in Update Cartography

Transactions in GIS, Volume 29, Issue 1, February 2025.
ABSTRACT The significant demand for highly updated geospatial or cartographic information surpasses the capacity of the official agencies responsible for its generation. The procedure for updating official cartography, in some Spanish regions, can take more than three or 4 years.

Digital equity in a crowded tool space: Navigating opportunities and challenges for equitable implementation of conservation technologies

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2025.
Encouraging more equitable approaches to conservation technologies underpins global priorities for sustainable development by centering and supporting the communities most directly involved in conservation actions. Based on direct feedback from developers and users of these technologies, we establish that not only is improving access and increasing the

Big Data (R)evolution in Geography: Complexity Modelling in the Last Two Decades

Geography Compass, Volume 18, Issue 11, November 2024.
ABSTRACT The use of data and statistics along with computational systems heralded the beginning of a quantitative revolution in Geography. Use of simulation models (Cellular Automata and Agent‐Based Models) followed in the late 1990s, with ontology and epistemology of complexity theory and modelling being defined a little less than two decades ago.

Can social media data be useful in spatial modelling? A case study of ‘museum Tweets’ and visitor flows [PDF]

, 2014
This paper explores the potential of volunteered geographical information from social media to inform geographical models of behavior. Based on a case study of museums in Yorkshire, we created a spatial interaction model of visitors to 15 museums from ...

Characterizing collaborative mapping projects. A methodological framework for analyzing volunteered geographic information and spatial data infrastructure convergence

Transactions in GIS, Volume 28, Issue 7, Page 1908-1927, November 2024.
Abstract In this article, we compile and characterize a total of 43 collaborative web map projects by a set of parameters that enable the understanding and comparability of current and future projects. We then develop a comprehensive methodological framework to explore volunteered geographic information (VGI) and spatial data infrastructure (SDI ...
