Keys to successful scientific VGI projects

Abstract: Scientific projects are increasingly using volunteered geographic information (VGI) in order to collect and validate geographic data. This concept relies on the three challenges that A) users can be found and B) be convinced to collaborate and contribute and that scientists finally C) are able to gather high quality data for their projects. In this paper these three challenges are discussed using the experience with three different research projects.

“…Benefiting from numerous volunteers and their familiarity with surrounding features, geospatial data are updated on the OSM platform frequently and quickly. Now various applications are derived and expanded on OSM spatial data because the data is free for all uses [2]. And OSM is a potential source of geospatial open data for monitoring sustainable development goals (SDG) indicators [3].…”
