“…negative sentiment could be related to mess from falling leaves, which could be mitigated through additional maintenance), or whether park use can be promoted at optimal times. In addition to urban planning, we can also improve existing tour recommendation and route planning systems [6,17,22,47] by using our sentiment analysis approach to identify and recommend Points-of-Interest that elicit more positive sentiments.…”

Green spaces are believed to improve the well-being of users in urban areas. While there are urban research exploring the emotional benefits of green spaces, these works are based on user surveys and case studies, which are typically small in scale, intrusive, time-intensive and costly. In contrast to earlier works, we utilize a non-intrusive methodology to understand green space effects at large-scale and in greater detail, via digital traces left by Twitter users. Using this methodology, we perform an empirical study on the effects of green spaces on user sentiments and emotions in Melbourne, Australia and our main findings are: (i) tweets in green spaces evoke more positive and less negative emotions, compared to those in urban areas; (ii) each season affects various emotion types differently; (iii) there are interesting changes in sentiments based on the hour, day and month that a tweet was posted; and (iv) negative sentiments are typically associated with large transport infrastructures such as train interchanges, major road junctions and railway tracks. The novelty of our study is the combination of psychological theory, alongside data collection and analysis techniques on a large-scale Twitter dataset, which overcomes the limitations of traditional methods in urban research.

“…This observation can add to the ongoing effort of incorporating differentiated emotional responses observed in a diverse population set into cartographic designs and GI services. For example, Huang et al [77] collected people's affective responses to environments through crowdsourcing and developed a method to enhance route-planning services. An evaluation showed that users felt more comfortable and satisfied with the new method than with the traditional shortest path.…”

3D representations in applications that provide self-localization and orientation in wayfinding have become increasingly popular in recent years because of technical advances in the field. However, human factors have been largely ignored while designing 3D representations in support of pedestrian navigation. This exploratory study aims to explore gender effects on using 3D maps for spatial orientation. We designed a 3D map that combines salient 3D landmarks and 2D layouts, and evaluated gender differences in their performance during direction-pointing tasks by administrating an eye tracking experiment. The results indicate there was no significant overall gender difference on performance and visual attention. However, we observed that males using the 3D map paid more attention to landmarks in the environment and performed better than when using the conventional 2D map, whereas female performance did not show any significant difference between the two types of map usage. We also observed contrary gender differences in visual attention on landmarks between the 3D and 2D maps. While males fixated longer on landmarks than females when using the 3D map, females paid more visual attention to landmarks than males when using the 2D map. In addition, verbal protocols showed that males had more confidence while make decisions. These empirical results can be helpful in the design of map-based wayfinding enhancement tools.

“…However, these approaches were traditionally used in laboratories with highly controlled conditions. Recently, with the rapid development of new technologies, novel methods and sensors have become available for collecting affective responses to environments (Huang et al 2014;Resch et al 2015). In the following, we highlight two of these current approaches.…”

“…Secondly, users can optionally provide further details about their affective responses, particularly on the aspects of safety, attractiveness, diversity, and relaxation. These four aspects were obtained from an empirical study (Huang et al 2014). In summary, each affective response to environments is collected as ratings on these five aspects (i.e.…”

When travelling in space, humans perceive the environment and evaluate it affectively. This chapter illustrates how mobile crowdsourcing and social media data can be used to study people's affective responses to different environments. It also showcases how these affective responses can be used to provide a better understanding of human−environment interaction, as well as to enable smart geospatial applications (particularly navigation systems). This chapter also discusses some essential challenges that need further investigations when crowdsourcing people's affective responses. Some of these challenges are participation motivating, data quality and privacy.
