Georeferenced Open Data and Augmented Interactive Geo-Visualizations as Catalysts for Citizen Engagement

Abstract: Citizen engagement figures prominently on political agendas around the world. In this context, high hopes are pinned to open government, open data and ICT tools. At the same time, there are fears of a widening digital divide, where large groups of society are in danger of being excluded from societal processes, for example due to having difficulties in using the online tools provided. In this paper, we propose an approach that has the potential to address many key issues in this context (e.g. accessibi… Show more

“…We use the term 'Geovisualization' in line with [28] to broadly include interactive maps, network graphs, charts/graphs, tables, symbols, diagrams and pictures. Geovisualizations can act as catalysts for citizen engagement in the OGD landscape [15]. In keeping with Albus [1], intelligence requires at least the ability to sense the environment, make decisions, and control action.…”

“…This studies demonstrates that users have acknowledged the usefulness of the tool and are eager to participate more often with this kind of online platforms. In their project, (Fechner & Kray, 2014) Today only very few open Government projects focus on 3D visualization. One example is the Cityplanner project ( cityplanneronline.com ), which provides features such as the possibility to visualize 3D buildings and to communicate with the citizens regarding future projects.…”

“…Geospatial visual methods, in varied forms, have been traditionally used to engage users and enable participation. Fechner and Kray [81] proposed an approach which relies on space and time as common integrators, and uses augmented interactive geo-visualizations to facilitate citizen engagement. They introduced three ideas, and exemplary tools, worth exploring in a smart city context: (i) synchronous distributed online collaborative mapping, (ii) the use of maps as spatial dialogue platforms, and (iii) the use of location-based services to highlight engagement opportunities both spatially and temporally.…”
