“…In the broader field of geography, GIS has been widely used to map demographic and statistical data (Pacheco & Velez, 2009). Traditional uses of geographic mapping with GIS are varied and include such wide uses as mapping universities degree programmes (Malhotra & Vlahovic, 2011), mapping historic artefacts (Xing, Chen, & Zhou, 2015), and planning community interventions (Smith & Miller, 2013)see Bodenhamer, Corrigan, & Harris (2010) or Hankins (2014) for more complete histories of GIS.…”

Research supports the use of geographic information systems (GIS) to inform and direct action in geography and urban planning. As critical researchers, we also see the power of GIS in participatory projects with students to analyse power, privilege, and oppression in order to move toward action. Understanding that meaning shifts through an interplay of social, linguistic, and material interactions, GIS has the unique ability to show fluidity yet connectedness across geographic borders, providing intriguing opportunities as a research tool. Drawing on recent studies of GIS in research, we recognise the potential to build understanding of spatial context as both socially and politically constructed, but also the tendency to see a map as bounded data in finality. We argue here the importance to return the data back to the material itself in order to avoid reifying a flat, discursive representation of the material without claiming agency. Through the planning of a participatory project with GIS as a research tool, we consider the implications, cautions, and potential of using GIS as a fluid and incomplete representation of a moment in time and space that is also a path moving toward something else.

“…The third stage (stage 3), which represents the present-day distributed GIServices has benefited from the current Internet web and mobile services, as well as accessibility to cloud big data and the power of cloud geoprocessing. This has allowed users to construct the mashup GIS framework based on the patterns from the previous two stages (stages 1 and 2) [23]. With the distributed GIServices (i.e., stage 3), everyone can access the immense cloud geographic data as they want, and the massive cloud computing lets the user do the heavy geoprocessing faster than any local client.…”

Rapid urbanization in developing countries has been observed to be relatively high in the last two decades, especially in the Asian and African regions. Although many researchers have made efforts to improve the understanding of the urbanization trends of various cities in Asia and Africa, the absence of platforms where local stakeholders can visualize and obtain processed urbanization data for their specific needs or analysis, still remains a gap. In this paper, we present an Internet-based GIS platform called MEGA-WEB. The Platform was developed in view of the urban planning and management challenges in developing countries of Asia and Africa due to the limited availability of data resources, effective tools, and proficiency in data analysis. MEGA-WEB provides online access, visualization, spatial analysis, and data sharing services following a mashup framework of the MEGA-WEB Geo Web Services (GWS), with the third-party map services using HTML5/JavaScript techniques. Through the integration of GIS, remote sensing, geo-modelling, and Internet GIS, several indicators for analyzing urbanization are provided in MEGA-WEB to give diverse perspectives on the urbanization of not only the physical land surface condition, but also the relationships of population, energy use, and the environment. The design, architecture, system functions, and uses of MEGA-WEB are discussed in the paper. The MEGA-WEB project is aimed at contributing to sustainable urban development in developing countries of Asia and Africa.

The development in the quantity of clients and the volume of data in OpenStreetMap (OSM) show the success of Volunteered geographical information(VGI) based task in attracting different types individuals from everywhere throughout the world. A huge quantity of data is produced every day by non-proficient clients and OSM faces the test of guaranteeing information quality. Since contributors have diverse perspectives about items, information integration in OSM might be considered as a type of multi-representation information combination. As due to freely availability of crowdsourced data quantity and quality assurance are two major areas to concern. This work introduces the design and development of a framework for identifying errors in crowdsourced map data, which enables volunteers to edit and tag geospatial and geographic data. Completeness, a quality parameter is used to investigate different types of errors. Initially Web-based framework is established, which includes a set of components to display the geospatial map data, indicators, markers to highlight or identify errors, as the establishment of the labeling framework. Based on this approach a prototype is developed and implemented in experiments. To actually fix the errors on OpenStreetMap, after completing the fix, it is sent back to OpenStreetMap. The result of this approach is to calculate the fixed errors by volunteers and graphically represent the stats of user contributions towards OpenStreetMap.
