Citizen Science and Sensing

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have undergone a significant evolution since their inception, transforming from specialized tools for governmental and military applications into ubiquitous platforms that permeate various facets of modern society. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the historical development of GIS, highlighting key milestones and technological advancements that have shaped its trajectory. It further delves into the contemporary challenges faced by geospatial sciences, particularly in the era of Big Data, and explores emerging trends such as cloud GIS, real-time GIS, spacetime GIS, and augmented reality. The paper concludes by outlining future research directions to address the complexities of an increasingly interconnected and data-rich world, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary approaches, enhanced interoperability, and robust security measures to harness the full potential of geospatial information for societal benefit.

Information regarding tourist sites plays a vital role in attracting tourism. Tourists derive information regarding the site from traditional pamphlets circulated by travel agencies and tourism departments. But as the digital paperless economy is way ahead, Webmaps can help local and foreign tourists get information regarding tourist sites on their gadgets. WebGIS integrates spatial and non-spatial data, helping to overcome the limitations of several websites that give only factual information on tourist sites. Information regarding tourist sites in the Banswara district of Rajasthan State (India) is not properly available. This study used QGIS to create a webmap showing important tourist sites in Banswara district. Field visits were carried out to collect the latitude and longitude of sites. These locations were exported as points, and attribute data was attached in QGIS. The final output is derived using the qgis2web plugin. Plugins like HCMGIS and ORS were used to add base layers and find the shortest routes. The webmap is published using the WordPress system as a webpage to provide site-specific information to tourists, like its location, importance, and description. A usability examination showed the webmap's strengths and weaknesses. Users found the content to be precise and the overall design to be creative and interactive. With recommendations to add real-time information, there is possibility to make the webmap better in the future.

Im vorliegenden Beitrag identifizieren wir Möglichkeiten und Grenzen einer Aufarbeitung bisher noch ungenutzter Datenquellen für raum-zeitliche Biodiversitätsanalysen in Deutschland. Im Rahmen des Syntheseprojekts sMon (https: //www.idiv.de/smon) des Deutschen Zentrums für integrative Biodiversitätsforschung (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig erprobt eine Arbeitsgemeinschaft aus Bundes-und Landesbehörden gemeinsam mit Fachgesellschaften, Verbänden und wissenschaftlichen Einrichtungen Methoden, wie heterogene Daten der letzten Jahrzehnte für retrospektive Trendanalysen genutzt werden können. Darauf aufbauend schlagen wir gangbare Wege zur Zukunft des deutschen Biodiversitätsmonitorings vor und illustrieren, wie Daten aus der Vergangenheit helfen können, Monitoring künftig zu gestalten. In this article, we identify possibilities and limits of processing as yet unused data sources for spatio-temporal biodiversity trend analyses in Germany. The sMon synthesis project (https://www.idiv.de/smon) of the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig is a joint working group of federal and state authorities cooperating with natural history societies, nature protection organisations and scientific institutions. In this group, we develop and evaluate methods for using heterogeneous data for retrospective trend analyses over the last decades. Building on this, we propose viable approaches for the future of German biodiversity monitoring and illustrate how data from the past can help to shape monitoring in the future.

In the last decades, a shift towards more democratic, participatory processes has occurred, rooted in the need to address environmental problems and climate change threats. Moreover, these participatory processes have been increasingly required in today's spatial plans, strategies, and studies, for example, in Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans, Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience Plans, and Sustainable Development Plans. In this context, academia and industry have built various public participation web-based solutions (ppWebGIS) and other geospatial participation tools to facilitate participatory procedures and support and inform the participants (planners, policymakers, citizens, etc.) towards spatial decision-making. However, despite the recent advancements in methodological and technological participatory geospatial tools, they are weak in addressing the complex issues found in "outlier" urban areas, i.e., areas with challenging conditions and characteristics. This paper introduces a comprehensive methodological framework for participatory spatial planning that conceptualizes and utilizes geospatial tools and platforms to address the challenges and opportunities in areas with special conditions. As part of an ongoing research program, the paper's main contribution is to provide methodological innovation for participatory spatial planning in areas with special conditions through conceptualizing and implementing participatory geospatial tools to solve complex and multifactorial spatial problems.

The term "crowdsourcing" was initially introduced by Howe in his article "The Rise of Crowdsourcing" [1]. During the last few years, crowdsourcing has become popular among companies, institutions and universities, as a crowd-centered modern "tool" for problem solving. Crowdsourcing is mainly based on the idea of an open-call publication of a problem, requesting the response of the crowd for reaching the most appropriate solution. The focus of this paper is on the role of crowdsourcing in knowledge acquisition for planning applications. The first part provides an introduction to the origins of crowdsourcing in knowledge generation. The second part elaborates on the concept of crowdsourcing, while some indicative platforms supporting the development of crowdsourcing applications are also described. The third part focuses on the integration of crowdsourcing with certain web technologies and GIS (Geographic Information Systems), for spatial planning applications, while in the fourth part, a general framework of the rationale behind crowdsourcing applications is presented. Finally, the fifth part focuses on a range of case studies that adopted several crowdsourcing techniques.

The integrated Geospatial Urban Energy Information & Support System (iGUESS) is currently being developed as part of an EU project to reduce CO 2 emissions in five European cities. The project is intended to create a decision support platform providing access to distributed data sources and analysis and modelling tools through a single web-based interface. The final goal is to furnish the participating cities with current and projected space-time energy layers for their urban planning process. iGUESS provides access to tools that compute local renewable energy potentials and other spatially bound mitigation action potentials, like the construction of green roofs or installation of renewable energy technologies. These potential maps are fed into the non-spatial techno-economic assessment model ETEM to find the best combination of planning actions subject to a set of objectives (e.g. emission targets) and constraints (e.g. budget), helping urban planers deciding where, on what technologies and when to invest. The interoperability between models and data is guaranteed by the usage of the web service standards specified by the Open Geospatial Consortium. The main iGUESS interface for decision makers is a web-based GIS, which facilitates the spatial comparison of different model outputs. The system also provides a component for impact assessment by comparing the results of different scenarios and making use of spatial multi-criteria analysis algorithms. Another aspect of iGUESS is the incorporation of uncertainties associated with input data and modelling results into the decision support.

Die Plattform Österreich forscht (www.citizen-science.at) wurde 2014 mit den Zielen gegründet, (1) Citizen Science Akteurinnen und Akteure in Österreich zu vernetzen, (2) einen möglichst umfassenden Überblick über Citizen Science Projekte in Österreich zu geben und (3) allgemein die Methodik Citizen Science wissenschaftlich weiter zu entwickeln.Viele Institutionen, welche in Citizen Science aktiv sind, haben sich 2017 auf Initiative der Plattform Österreich forscht im Citizen Science Network Austria zusammengeschlossen und sich damit dazu bekannt, die Qualität von Citizen Science in Österreich zu fördern (http://www.citizen-science.at/die-plattform/das-netzwerk).Ein wichtiger Schritt zur Förderung dieser Qualität war es, transparente Kriterien aufzustellen, die jene Projekte erfüllen müssen, welche auf der Plattform Österreich forscht gelistet werden möchten.

ABSTRACT
Air pollution and odour annoyance caused by livestock farming often leads to tension and distrust between livestock farmers and non-farming residents in agricultural areas in the Netherlands. In this study, we conducted a citizen science project to measure air quality and odour annoyance in collaboration with farmers, non-farming residents, and the municipality. The aim was to explore whether measuring together through citizen science influenced (1) mutual trust between stakeholders, and (2) their trust in the scientific process and outcomes of this project. We conducted semi-structured interviews with participants before and after participating in the project. Results indicated that measuring together did not improve trust between farmers and their neighbours. However, non-farming residents did express more trust in the municipality and perceived their interests were more fairly taken into account. Moreover, all participants expressed trust in the scientific process and outcomes regarding their ‘own’ measurements; contrasting the distrust they expressed in the ‘official’ governmental data. Control and transparency due to their own involvement, involvement of an independent scientific institute and positive interactions with the scientists’ contributed to this trust. These results highlight the need for further research on the potential impact of citizen science projects on trust in different contexts.

Citizen Science ist derzeit in aller Munde, der Begriff wird aber v. a. mit Natur- und Umweltwissenschaften in Zusammenhang gebracht. Doch auch in den Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften haben Forschungsaktivitäten Ehrenamtlicher eine lange Tradition. Im vorliegenden Artikel werden einerseits die Gründe für den aktuellen "Boom" von Citizen Science erkundet, andererseits die Schnittmengen mit verwandten Konzepten wie "Public History" oder der ehrenamtlichen Denkmalpflege sowie die besonderen Potentiale einer gemeinsamen Weiterentwicklung benannt.

Urban development is now becoming an increasingly complex challenge in global and local terms. The urban form is both, the element of the city's sense and the spatial framework of urban transformations. The morphology of the city is changing constantly with urban development. What can be continuously observed is, that "cities and their complexes grow spatially, forming large areas and absorbing new territories." [2]. Urban morphology consists of built-up tissue and voids in-between, so the urban development is directly related to the volume and geometrical structure of open areas and public spaces. If the public life occurs in the space in-between, exploring tools of advanced urban analyses focused on morphology of open spaces seems to be important and actual. Spatial disposition and relation between public spaces define unique features of towns and contribute to the general perception of the sense of cities. However the problem is not as obvious as it may seem in practical terms. While the analysis of the built-up tissue of cities is relatively achievable, a measurable analysis of the space in-between is a considerable challenge due to the lack of defined geometry. This geometrical aspect of open spaces in cities is addressed in this article. The promising and powerful data environment enabling the development of such analytic tools are 3D virtual city models. The already introduced by the author analytic method called 3D-Negative (N3D) allows quantification and measurable analyses of the "invisible" geometry. The method is closely related to GIS and cityGML environments. The purpose of the article is to analyze regularities, spatial distribution and structure of public spaces in selected cities in area and linear means.

O Boletim de Ocorrência (BO) policial constitui uma das principais fontes de informação para a fundamentação e fomentação de políticas públicas de segurança. Apesar da existência de aplicativos móveis para registro dos BOs, por razões múltiplas muitos oficiais de polícia ainda registram o BO de forma manuscrita. O registo do BO de forma manuscrita é um desafio para a coleta de informações, pois impõe uma etapa de transcrição do texto, que é uma tarefa árdua e pouco escalável. Este artigo propõe uma plataforma colaborativa, denominada PANDORA, que utiliza técnicas de Aprendizado de Máquina para realizar uma transcrição inicial do BO manuscrito para então ser modificada/melhorada, por meio da colaboração de múltiplos usuários especialistas. Uma avaliação com usuários especialistas e BOs reais foi executada.

Micro-blogging websites like Twitter are very popular among internet users, over 100 million tweets are posted every day. The websites are active in e cient dissemination of information pertinent to any emergency like ood and earthquake. Recent research proved that these platforms can e ectively be used for monitoring, evaluations and coordinating relief operations in such situations. One of the very critical issue of such applications is to identifying the validity of these posts automatically during the emergency situation as factual information or rumors. The idea is to verify the tweet from some other authentic news source. Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation (FIRE 2018) edition included a shared task for Information Retrieval from Microblogs during Disasters (IRMiDis). The subtask 1, is identifying the tweets from their content as fact or fact-checkable tweets. The main idea of this task is to identify the validity of the tweets so that the rumors or baseless situational...

In this paper, we present a mobile-based participatory sensing method to engage citizens' participation in the living quality evaluation. The system called City Probe consists of the APP and the platform to provide the location-based services. City Probe allows citizens to identify and assess the spatial issues. By using the rating function of City Probe APP, citizens can turn the qualitative spatial issues into measurable UGC data. In addition, the UGC data are visualized as (1) rating value map, (2) rating amount map, and (3) rating heat map to present the different quantitative patterns of city. The experiment of arcade survey verifies the value of City Probe by locating and assessing the OCCUPANCY issue.

Im Rahmen des vom BMBF geforderten Verbundprojektes "Lernende Stadt Gelsenkirchen – Bildung und Partizipation als Strategien sozialraumlicher Entwicklung" soll im Forschungsschwerpunkt Citizen Science ein Konzept zur Zusammenarbeit zwischen Wissenschaft und Stadtgesellschaft (Citizen Science 2.0) mit Handlungsempfehlungen und Gelingensbedingungen erarbeitet werden. In diesem Kontext zielt die vorliegende Ausarbeitung darauf ab, das bislang noch unkonkrete Gelsenkirchener Modell von Citizen Science 2.0 zu prazisieren. Dazu wird zunachst ein Uberblick uber die in Deutschland vorherrschenden Begriffsverstandnisse und wissenschaftlichen Diskurse gegeben. Das spezifische Gelsenkirchener Begriffsverstandnis, abgeleitet aus einer Dokumentenanalyse und Gesprachen mit der Stadtverwaltung, wird dargestellt und eine Einordnung in wissenschaftliche Citizen Science- Diskurse vorgenommen. Hierbei finden sich auch Kongruenzen mit aktuellen Entwicklungen im Bereich der transformativen und...

Die Beteiligung von Patient:innen an medizinischer Forschung stellt einen neuen Trend der Citizen Science, der Forschungsbeteiligung von Lai:innen, dar und wird bspw. als Patient Science oder ‚Patientenbeteiligung‘ bezeichnet. Vor allem im Bereich chronischer Krankheiten sollen Patient:innen Alltagseinblicke mit ihrer Erkrankung ermöglichen sowie selbst am Forschungs-prozess beteiligt sein. Der Anspruch geht hierbei so weit, dass Patient:innen von der Formulierung der Forschungsfrage bis hin zur Interpretation der Ergebnisse involviert sind, da sie als Expert:innen ihrer Alltagsthemen einen großen Mehrwert für die Medizin liefern. In meiner Forschung zur Gestaltung der partizipativen Forschungsarbeit bin ich jedoch auf vier Spannungsverhältnisse gestoßen. Diese betreffen die klinische Taktung von wissenschaftlicher Forschung, die notwendigen Kompetenzen der Patient:innen zur Forschungsbeteiligung, die Nutzenerwartungen diverser Akteur:innen sowie die Rollenverteilung in der Forschun...

ZusammenfassungPartizipative Gesundheitsforschung ist ein eigenständiger Forschungsansatz, der eigene Förderbedingungen benötigt. In der Zeitschrift Gesundheitswesen erschien im April 2020 ein Artikel, der Empfehlungen für geeignete Maßnahmen zur Förderung von partizipativer Gesundheitsforschung diskutiert. Im Rahmen des vorliegenden Beitrags werden dort angesprochenen Aspekte durch Praxisbeispiele untermauert.3 Erfahrungsbeispiele werden aufgeführt, um die vielfältigen und unterschiedlichen Bedingungen während der Bewerbung um Mittel für partizipative Forschungsprojekte zu erläutern. Beispiel 1 zeigt, wie die fruchtbare Zusammenarbeit von Antragstellenden und fördernder Stelle partizipative Prozesse ermöglichte. In Beispiel 2 haben die Förder- und Antragsbedingungen, trotz eines Fokus auf Partizipation, eine wirksame Beteiligung im Rahmen der Antragsentwicklung nicht möglich gemacht. Beispiel 3 setzt sich mit eigenen, berechtigten Forschungsinteressen von Betroffenen auseinander, d...

Participatory research formats have recently gained in importance in historical research. This is particularly reflected in the increase in historically oriented citizen science projects. However, this development has so far received little attention in the relevant research literature and, especially in the Germanspeaking world, remains at best a niche phenomenon. Thus, the aim of this article is to encourage academic debate on the relevance of citizen science in historical science, with a focus on digital-based approaches. The article begins with the definition of citizen science and then examines its positioning in humanities and historical science, which is followed by a discussion of the potentials and limitations of participatory approaches based on the research project "Cinema in the GDR". The paper draws on cross-disciplinary and discipline-specific studies, initial project-side evaluations, and experiences from the project implementation. Finally, the article asks under which prerequisites digitalbased citizen science approaches could gain long-term acceptance as a research method in historical science.

Geo-data created by numerous VGI applications are widely used today. Although VGI data bring numerous benefits, they also have some limitations primarily because the users are not motivated to collect all kinds of geo-data but only those that are of great importance for them. Therefore, there are types of geo-data like traffic signs, park benches, trash cans, pedestrian crossings etc. that are in most cases not covered by the existing VGI applications. Our aim is to address the problem of volunteers' motivation by creating location-based game (LBG) whose by-product of playing would be such data. In this paper we present the prototype of the MapSigns LBG that is used for mapping traffic signs. The proposed game has the data quality check implemented in the game plot. Also, in this paper we address the possibilities of consuming geo-data created this way by officials and wider set of users.
