“…Apps may provide a useful tool for researchers to collect data about transportation. For example, "IPET" (Individual Persuasive Eco-Travel Technology) collects data about participants' travel, automatically processes this information to provide sustainable travel alternatives through pop-up messages in the app, and offers users points to further encourage sustainable travel [44]. However, successful implementation of "IPET" requires a significant time commitment from participants in order to obtain accurate travel data.…”

Gamification, the application of game design principles to a non-gaming context, has been used to promote pro-environmental behaviors. Such principles have been implemented in boardgames, team competitions, electronic games, smartphone apps, and in apps that researchers developed primarily to collect data. We review the games and apps that have been evaluated in empirical research in the last 5 years and provide a list of apps and games that have yet to be tested. Gamification has been used for sustainability education, energy reduction, transportation, air quality, waste management, and water conservation. Although we do not know yet why certain games and apps are more effective than others, gamification appears to be a promising avenue for preventing climate change.

“…One of the smartphone advantages is automatic data recording (Safi,2019;Greaves et al,2015;Sato, Maruyama,2019), while they also represent a promising tool for longitudinal research (Udtha et al,2015). Current smartphones are equipped with sensors allowing the tracking of movement (Korpilo 2017, Piras, 2018, which can be used in various research areas, for example, related to the pricing strategies during traffic peak and peak off (Adnan,2020), refugees topic (Keusch,2021), health (Dorsey,2017, NG,2019, climate change (De Crescenzo,2020), etc.…”

Researchers worldwide require valuable data to confirm and validate their models or theories. Obtaining such data, especially concerning people's behaviour, is very difficult. Although ICT technologies can facilitate the data collection process, it is necessary to consider the right promotional and communication tools to ensure the required sample size. The paper provides evidence on users' engagement during the European data collection campaign (H2020 MoTiV project ) using the Woorti mobile application. The results show that using the mobile application to collect data does not automatically attract and engage citizens. This brings several challenges to be addressed during the data collection campaign. The study found that electronic media are not always the most effective channels to attract users to research. Direct addressing and outreach events seem to be more effective for this purpose. This case study also shows that although incentives motivate people to participate in data collection, the most crucial factor in their participation is contributing to the research.

“…Other technologies that were developed include the virtual data collection for COVID-19 purposes, including pandemic planning, surveillance, testing, contact tracing, and quarantine monitoring (Sosa et al, 2021;Whitelaw et al, 2020). Other studies included data on lifestyle, activities, habits, and environment (Canino et al, 2016), health monitoring (Nugroho Joshua et al, 2017), daily trips and activities information (Piras et al, 2018), and medical delivery in Sri Lanka (Phadnis et al, 2021). Phadnis et al's (2021) study particularly found the ability of a mobile-phone survey to facilitate rapid data collection.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way data collection for research takes place around the world. Such adaptation has forced a turn of research methodologies in conducting research. This study focuses on on-site and remote digital data collection methods that can be adopted during the pandemic. The method of research and data collection often requires a group of researchers to travel to a specific site to meet communities for data collection, which is not permissible during the pandemic. This paper explores the use of web-based application for documentation of the existing natural and built features, and land management system for identification of the rural community’s land information. In this paper, the use of a web-based application, namely i-LULACAST, is highlighted. The application was designed and used for data entry and management of the rural community with fewer human resources on-site while still maximizing the number of datasets needed for analysis. The system was built using Codelgniter Application 4.0.4 to develop libraries to link databases and perform operations such as data entry, location, and uploading pictures for particular data. This system has also shown prospects for other purposes, such as census, landscape data entry, and contact tracing for medical purposes.
