“…Ésta puede ser asociada a una localización o coordenadas específicas que se basan en un marco de referencia geográfica (por ejemplo una medida u observación física o medioambiental objetiva asociada a una coordenada); o una contribución (generalmente de carácter más subjetivo) vinculada a un lugar (definido como «una localización creada por experiencias humanas» (Grantham and Tuan 1978), con características físicas y humanas asociadas), como un barrio, una calle, un centro deportivo o una iglesia. En cuanto a los atributos de la información se tendría que considerar la flexibilidad en su estructura, presentándose de forma estructurada o no estructurada (Deparday 2010), y en su caso los diferentes niveles de estructuración.…”

Abstract:This work addresses voluntary geographic information (VGI) as an information system that facilitates organizations to achieve specific goals by outsourcing processes and activities to an online community. A definition of a voluntary geographic information system (VGIS) is proposed, identifying its core components (Project, Participants, Technology), then, crowdsourcing, the most relevant process for managing information within these type of systems, is analysed. We analyse several types of crowdsourcing models in the context of VGIS, and it is proposed a classification built around the different ways of organizing a community, which include different levels of participation according to the use of three processes: contributory, collaborative and participatory. Based on the study of the different typologies intrinsically linked to the existing levels of involvement and engagement, and the use of participants' cognitive skills, a continuum of participation is identified, presenting two opposite tendencies when designing VGI projects: crowd-based and community-driven, the latter with higher levels of collaboration or even co-creation. Based on the above, it is proposed a set of criteria for the design of the crowdsourcing strategy of a VGIS, as a roadmap that directs the project. This design and planning tool helps to characterize and define in a simple way the general requirements of the processes and activities of a VGIS that will be implemented through a crowdsourcing task, being the first step in the interdependent design of the project, participation and technological components. The design of subsequent strategies related to the other components of the system must be aligned and linked to the crowdsourcing strategy, and altogether will guide the development of tasks, functionalities and the specific technological tools of the system.

En él se propone una definición de sistema de información geográfica voluntaria (SIGV), se identifican sus componentes centrales (Proyecto, Participantes, Tecnología), y se analiza el proceso de gestión de la información más relevante en este tipo de sistemas: el crowdsourcing. Se analizan varios tipos de modelos de crowdsourcing en el contexto de los SIGV, para luego proponer una clasificación basada en los diferentes modos de organizar a una comunidad; éstos incluyen distintos niveles de participación según el uso de tres procesos: contributivo, colaborativo y participativo. En base al estudio de las diferentes tipologías vinculadas intrínsecamente a los niveles de implicación y compromiso existentes, y al uso de las habilidades cognitivas de los participantes, se identifica un continuo de participa...

“…Despite the current globalization process and the ubiquitous communication, place continues to be an object of strong attachment (Lewicka, 2011b). Places can evoke feelings (Bondi, 2005) and/or lived experiences (Stedman, 2003;Tuan, 1978). Nevertheless, they are rarely settled due to their dynamic nature based on relative coordinates (Murdoch, 1998).…”

“…Nevertheless, they are rarely settled due to their dynamic nature based on relative coordinates (Murdoch, 1998). Jordan et al (1998) stated that place cannot simply be described as a linear location of related objects, it has to be considered by its inherent human meaning (Relph, 1976;Tuan, 1978). Place is the central piece of human experience with implications for the development of identity and belongs (Duff, 2011), thus, the key concept of both human geography and environmental psychology (Antonsich, 2010, p. 120).…”

“…This routine is actively shaped by our attachment toward places that form our daily ground (i.e., sense of place) and the social relationships that we build on them (i.e., social capital). Human geographers study the concept of sense of place as the particular relationship between an individual toward a place (Relph, 1976;Tuan, 1978). The characterization of social relationships has also been studied through the notion of "social capital" notion from many different angles (Szreter, 1998).…”

“…The definition of sense of place is elusive and controversial (Antonsich, 2010). Despite the different uses of sense of place as a synonym of attachment, belonging or identity, it has also been related to rooted, healthy, self and the philosophical tradition called 'phenomenology' (Relph, 1976;Tuan, 1974Tuan, , 1978 in human geography. On the other hand, there are positivistic and quantitative approaches to the concept (Jorgensen and Stedman, 2001) and from social anthropology (Williams and Vaske, 2003).…”
