“…Despite technological solutions providing the necessary conditions for preserving privacy, the adoption rate of location‐based services has been lagging behind from what it was expected to be. Fodor and Brem () investigated how privacy influences the adoption of these services. They found that it is not sufficient to analyze user adoption through technology‐based constructs only, but that privacy concerns, the size of the crowdsourcing organization, and perceived reputation also play a significant role.…”

Data are essential in all areas of geophysics. They are used to better understand and manage systems, either directly or via models. Given the complexity and spatiotemporal variability of geophysical systems (e.g., precipitation), a lack of sufficient data is a perennial problem, which is exacerbated by various drivers, such as climate change and urbanization. In recent years, crowdsourcing has become increasingly prominent as a means of supplementing data obtained from more traditional sources, particularly due to its relatively low implementation cost and ability to increase the spatial and/or temporal resolution of data significantly. Given the proliferation of different crowdsourcing methods in geophysics and the promise they have shown, it is timely to assess the state of the art in this field, to identify potential issues and map out a way forward. In this paper, crowdsourcing‐based data acquisition methods that have been used in seven domains of geophysics, including weather, precipitation, air pollution, geography, ecology, surface water, and natural hazard management, are discussed based on a review of 162 papers. In addition, a novel framework for categorizing these methods is introduced and applied to the methods used in the seven domains of geophysics considered in this review. This paper also features a review of 93 papers dealing with issues that are common to data acquisition methods in different domains of geophysics, including the management of crowdsourcing projects, data quality, data processing, and data privacy. In each of these areas, the current status is discussed and challenges and future directions are outlined.

“…This variable [71] has three dimensions: collect, control and awareness. The difference between the CFIP and IUIPC model seems to be that the former was designed for an off-line context, while the latter studies the privacy of Internet users, since LBS is an online service [49].…”

“…In this way, research has been done on adoption of mobile telecommunication services [60], mobile cloud computing [61,62], and LBS [32,33,36,63,64]. Of all the well-known adoption models, we especially highlight published research papers where TAM is applied to LBS [10,36,49,65,66] or to mobile devices [67].…”

“…The adoption rate of LBS applications is below the expected rate [10,48]. Researchers try to find the causes and reasons for this low adoption [49]. This slow adoption of LBS has been mainly explained by three causes: (1) mobile phone providers have taken longer, and at a higher cost than expected, to implement more precise location techniques; (2) there has sometimes been a latency of responding to applications by providing the user's location; and (3) the users' concern for privacy issues.…”

The Behavioral Response to Location Based Services: An Examination of the Influence of Social and Environmental Benefits, and Privacy

Abstract:Given the importance tourism has in many economies, this research was designed to study how the social and environmental benefits of Location Based Services (LBS) in the tourism sector influence user behavior and thus contribute to sustainable development. The objective has been to study LBS as a solution that makes the deployment of tourism activities easier, more useful and improves attitudes towards it, but in a context where trust in privacy and benefits-based sustainable social and environmental development are key. To achieve this, this research identifies what could be the influence factors in the adoption of mobile applications with Location Based Services from the point of view of the tourism sector, especially if the social and environmental benefits of LBS can help improve usage behavior. We investigated the technological acceptance of LBS in tourism, using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a solid model to explain its adoption. Nine hypotheses were investigated by carrying out a survey of travelers (n = 277) during their visit to Seville (Spain). To test the conceptual model's hypotheses, the Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique was applied to estimate variance-based structural equations models (SEM).The results of this study indicated that tourists are willing to accept these LBS services within a particular adoption model, where trust in privacy and social and environmental benefits are paramount.
