“…A meaningful place name can capture the location's demographic, historic, environmental, personal, as well as commercial significance [20]. When supplemented with other knowledge, location information can also be used to infer higher level contextual information, such as a person's activity, level of availability or interruptibility (see, for example, [19,28,35,45,48]). …”

Most location sharing applications display people's locations on a map. However, people use a rich variety of terms to refer to their locations, such as "home," "Starbucks," or "the bus stop near my house." Our longterm goal is to create a system that can automatically generate appropriate place names based on real-time context and user preferences. As a first step, we analyze data from a two-week study involving 26 participants in two different cities, focusing on how people refer to places in location sharing. We derive a taxonomy of different place naming methods, and show that factors such as a person's perceived familiarity with a place and the entropy of that place (i.e. the variety of people who visit it) strongly influence the way people refer to it when interacting with others. We also present a machine learning model for predicting how people name places. Using our data, this model is able to predict the place naming method people choose with an average accuracy higher than 85%.

“…Thus, place can be conceptualized as an integrated system comprising cognitive, affective and conative processes (Jorgensen and Stedman 2001). Kramer (1995) contends that the importance of transactional perspective to place constantly increased within the environmental psychology research. According to this perspective, people and their physical environments are inseparable units, constantly influencing defining and altering one another.…”

“…In order to function in a complex world, people establish conceptual classification systems for objects, places and behavior (Rosch 1978;Smith and Medin 1981). Kramer (1995) asks whether the conceptual classification of places is based on certain criteria applicable to each place. He explores whether it is possible to compare places on a macrolevel as generic places.…”

“…Once identified, such conceptual criteria could be used to build up a classification system in order to relate places to one another in a systematic way. Kramer (1995) Specificity of function is about the idea that some places are very specific with respect to their function while others are less strictly defined. There exists obligatory and additional activities in places.…”

“…(3) Places constrain and afford activities. Places are simultaneously configured for certain activities and make it hard for other activities that are non-typical to the place to occur (Genereux et al, 1983;Kramer, 1995). For example, a pub might support socializing, a church worship and perhaps community meetings, and a neighborhood store buying necessities and maybe running into friends and neighbors.…”

Abstract. In this paper we examine an emerging class of systems that link People-to-People-toGeographical-Places; we call these P3-Systems. Through analyzing the literature, we have identified four major P3-System design techniques: People-Centered systems that use either absolute user location (e.g. Active Badge) or user proximity (e.g. Hocman) and Place-Centered systems based on either a representation of people's use of physical spaces (e.g. ActiveMap) or on a matching virtual space that enables online interaction linked to physical location (e.g. Geonotes). In addition, each feature can be instantiated synchronously or asynchronously. The P3-System framework organizes existing systems into meaningful categories and structures the design space for an interesting new class of potentially context-aware systems. Our discussion of the framework suggests new ways of understanding and addressing the privacy concerns associated with location aware community system and outlines additional socio-technical challenges and opportunities.
