“…In the analysis stage, the contribution of crowdsourcing data collection techniques [76] (e.g., Google Maps, Open Street Maps) was very critical for the correction of the background, collection of land use data, and recording of urban equipment and traffic congestion, similar to many relevant surveys carried out in the Athens metropolitan area [75,77,78]. The mapping of the data [54] and the tabulation [79] contributed to the understanding and visualization of the data collected.…”

Culture is frequently used as a means of promoting sustainable urban development. Indeed, in many areas across Europe, cultural and recreational routes or clusters have so far been utilized in order for urban regeneration and structural reconstruction to be pursued. Such routes have been developed in Greek cities as well, e.g., in the cities of Volos, Thessaloniki, and Athens. In the Greek capital, Athens, a couple of axes are actually recognized as cultural ones. Andreas Syngrou Avenue, initially designed as a six/eight-lane freeway located at the heart of the Athens metropolitan area, is one distinguished example. By focusing on this axis as a cultural route/cluster, the goal of this article is to elaborate on smart and sustainable mobility patterns for strengthening its cultural/recreational identity and increasing its attractiveness. To accomplish this goal, critical problems confining citizens’ mobility and access to various cultural landmarks in this area are identified and are properly dealt with, stressing the importance of sustainable mobility in relevant cultural planning endeavors. Based on the study and an assessment of the current state of this route (land uses, traffic loads, design qualities, and environmental affordances), a sustainable mobility proposal is provided in order for a master plan that enhances and develops the cultural function and identity of this route.

“…In order to evaluate crowdsourced data, other studies focused on defining measures and indicators for evaluating VGI quality [15]. Land administration has different constraints and demands so some studies examined the option of using OpenStreetMap as a basemap for cadastral surveying [16] and promoted the need to build a conceptual framework for utilizing VGI in land administration [17]. Crowd sourcing nowadays is bound to mobile devices driving other studies to examine the potential of mobile applications using an accurate orthophoto as basemap in an effort to check the reliability, achieved geometric accuracy, and usability of the method for the compilation of accurate, assured, and authoritative cadastres such as the Hellenic Cadaster [18].…”

Greece is one of the few European countries that has not yet a fully operating Cadastre at national coverage. Cadastral surveying and property registration have been completed only for about 8% of the Greek territory, which includes about 18% of the total property rights. At the remaining areas, cadastral surveying and property registration is still under development and is expected to be completed by the end of 2021. The cadastral survey is a participatory procedure in which property right holders, or their representatives, are expected to declare the land parcels on which they have property rights and submit all documents that prove these rights. The time frame available for the declaration is 3 months, which is specific for each municipality. Right holders are now enabled to provide both spatial and descriptive information, regarding their properties and property rights, without the need of a professional. That includes the parcel’s boundary lines along with the legal documents required to validate the declaration. Each right holder, or a representative, has the option to submit a declaration over the internet through a web application without the need of a professional. Within the frame of a PhD research, several concerns were addressed such as usability, security, and scalability in order for the outcome to support its scope while respecting binding constrains. As a result, two web applications have been created to officially support the Hellenic Cadaster property rights declaration process. The suggested approach was considered a big success in terms of both public acceptance and usability as shown from the statistics collected during the first eight months of its formal operation.

“…The choice depends on the availability of the recourses. The experience has indicated that OSM can be adopted for cadastral purposes, taking into consideration specific generalizations and rules (Basiouka et al 2015).…”

Are Land Owners able to participate in official Cadastral Surveys? Can the official procedures be modified in order for crowdsourcing techniques to be incorporated in them? How many different stakeholders can actively get involved and which is the optimum workflow that could be adopted? This chapter addresses the main question of whether the spatial and attribute data that is collected by volunteers -land owners -can be used in official Land Administration Systems (LAS) and explores the potential introduction of crowdsourcing techniques into the official cadastral surveys as a simplified and transparent procedure with the aid of citizens.As the title reveals, this chapter aims to propose a crowdsourcing cadastral model as an alternative option to the official cadastral procedures. The research investigates a voluntary model and documents it in terms of participants and structure according to various international case studies that were analyzed in depth within the research that was carried out by Haklay et al. (2014). The main lessons that were collected by each separate crowdsourced case study were used as a guideline for the suggested cadastral model. The opportunities and the weaknesses are isolated and explored in terms of a cadastral survey. The main advantage of the adopted case studies is the opportunity for a simulation of 420 European Handbook of Crowdsourced Geographic Information real circumstances in cadastral surveys and not a simplistic logic. Τhe main innovation is focused on the design of the model in an a priori approach with well-defined and already tested successful case studies.The model is clarified in technical and societal aspects while it sheds light on the proposed process. The workflow, the stakeholders and the adopted main lessons of the crowdsourced case studies are the key components that are explored and analyzed in this chapter.
