“…Also, it can utilize information on the physical surroundings of mobile users, e.g., shops and restaurants (Molitor et al, 2016). By definition, conceptual characteristics of LBS include spatial proximity-meaning that a service is only feasible if a customer is positioned relatively close to a service location (Bärsch et al, 2019)-and locatability-referring to the ability of a device to determine its current geographic position (Junglas et al, 2008). Further, LBS requires service customers to stay in physical proximity (Mathew et al, 2004;Molitor et al, 2016) and data provision in (near) real-time (Pei Chin & Siau, 2012).…”

“…This top left cell in both cases characterizes service with a user and an entity that have static locations, but still utilize location information. Although some definitions would still consider this an LBS (Xu et al, 2009), most established definitions and our revised definition do not include such service as it lacks spatial proximity and locatability (Bärsch et al, 2019;Junglas et al, 2008)-the main characteristics that constitute an LBS. While location information is optional in this type of service, they can still enhance the service's value proposition and might help to co-create superior value-in-use.…”

“…Spatial proximity is an essential aspect of LBS because LBS requires a customer to be close to a service location (Bärsch et al, 2019). In contrast, LCS does not pre-suppose that a service customer is in spatial proximity to a service provider, since LCS is independent of the customer's location.…”

“…Customer has to be close to the service location (Bärsch et al, 2019) Not required, service is independent of the location of the customer Locatability Devices need to be capable of determining their geospatial position (Junglas et al, 2008) Not needed, relies on static positions with fixed coordinates…”

Location-Based Service (LBS) is an established concept and enables providers and customers to co-create value-in-use, building on location information on humans or mobile objects. LBS, however, is not the only way to co-create value by using location information, as LBS does not target immovable objects, such as infrastructure. Informed by a literature review, we set out to conceptualize Location-Contextualizing Service (LCS) as a class of service complementing LBS. LCS focuses on improving existing service, based on enabling users with static positions to contextualize and analyze data on immovable objects. We describe the conceptual properties of LCS vis-á-vis LBS and outline why we see Geographic Information System (GIS) as a crucial class of systems to enable LCS. We discuss why LCS highlights new aspects and shifts research priorities that constitute the LBS and GIS fields today.

“…Hence, it comes as no surprise that, around the globe, different approaches to cope with the crisis have arisen [12], as the resilience of local retailers is limited [13]. One feasible and highly discussed option is local online platforms (LOPs) [14][15][16]. LOPs mainly link local retailers and logistics companies by means of digital platforms, in order to ensure online sales for local retailers and delivery to customers [14].…”

Integrating Retail into an Urban Data Platform from a Stakeholder Perspective: Network Approaches in Leipzig (Germany)

et al. 2022

Growth rates in e-commerce, changing consumer behaviors, and COVID-19 have all put pressure on local retailers worldwide, threatening the resilience of city centers. Local online platforms (LOPs) have been considered as a solution to help local retailers increase their visibility and survive on the market. However, most platforms fail to attract a significant number of stakeholders. Simultaneously, digital platform solutions with more holistic urban perspectives, such as urban data platforms (UDPs), have emerged. However, a question remains: how can the integration of retail data (e.g., product availabilities) into a UDP succeed? Therefore, in this paper, we explore stakeholder-oriented networking processes to integrate local retail data into a UDP in Leipzig, Germany. Leipzig has increased its population by 26% since 2000, but presents the highest retail vacancy rate, compared to other major German cities. To investigate the networking process in Leipzig, we conduct a social network analysis which combines qualitative interviews, mapping, and ethnographic research. We interview ten stakeholders and uncover conflicts within the networking process: First, all stakeholders have different understandings of UDPs and how to integrate local retail data; second, the interviewees acknowledge the importance of, but none of them feel responsible for, initiating or managing the process; and third, the city administration has shown diverging interest, in terms of taking on more responsibility.
