The development of VGI application for urban road problems

In recent years new interactive web services are dramatically altering the way in which ordinary citizens can create digital spatial data and maps. individually and collectively, to produce new forms of digital spatial data that some term 'volunteered geographic information' (VGI). Further...

Computer science In recent years new interactive web services are dramatically altering the way in which ordinary citizens can create digital spatial data and maps. individually and collectively, to produce new forms of digital spatial data that some term 'volunteered geographic information' (VGI). Furthermore due to recent convergence of greater access to internet connections, the availability of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) at affordable prices, and more participative forms of interaction on the Web (Web 2.0) vast numbers of individuals are able to create and share geographic information. Due to this reasons many governments are considering how they can better engage with and accept citizen input online, particularly through the gathering and use of VGL. There are variety types of supplementary data that governments can collect by VGI systems. One of these types is digital photo (that captured by Geotagging). Geotagging is the process of adding geospatial data to different forms of media. This involves enriching various media (such as texts , photos or video) with location data; latitude, longitude, and altitude. Photos can prove volunteered report and give more useful information of problems to governments , so can be very useful for government. This study attempt to develop a process for volunteered reporting of urban road problems to local governments based on VGI System. Therefore, attempt to design and develop a Geoweb by using Google Map APIs and related tools and functions for running the process of volunteered reporting and Geotagging data to reports. Moreover, attempt to develop a database for store data by coding and connecting to browser-side. Finally test the process by importing some supposition reports and. This study could be extending database and adding Place marks on the streamed Base Map from Google for citizens to add and Geotag information. 2013-06 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48700/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48700/22/MojtabaZeinaliMFGHT2013.pdf application/pdf en public http://dms.library.utm.my:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:83776 masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Geoinformation & Real Estate Faculty of Geoinformation & Real Estate
