Abstract
Owing to the rapid development of geospatial and mobile communication technologies in recent years, acquisition of high-quality spatial and temporal information has become much more efficient and cost effective than before. As a result, many researchers deem that data collected by volunteers with little training can be used for scientific researches if carefully designed quality assurance process is performed. In this chapter, we introduce the application of VGI (volunteered geographic information) in spatial humanities. In particular, we demonstrate the procedures for obtaining high-quality spatiotemporal information of various community resources from data collected by volunteers equipped with mobile devices such as smart phones, tablet PC, and GPS (global positioning system) tagger.
