“…These groups encompass the wider spectrum of GI including the creators and users of internet based map mashups (combination, visualisation, and aggregation of data) and users of GI which has been created by potentially untrained volunteers (Floyd et al, 2007 ;Goodchild, 2007b;Haklay et al, 2008) . The GI end user groups identified during the workshop were:…”

ABSTRACT:The use of Geographic Information or GI, has grown rapidly in recent years. Previous research has identified the importance of usability and user centred design in enabling the proliferation and exploitation of GI. However, the design and development of usable GI is not simply a matter of applying the tried and tested usability methods that have been developed for software and web design. Dealing with data and specifically GI brings with it a number of issues that change the way usability and user centred design can be applied. This paper describes the outcomes of a workshop held in March 2010 exploring the core issues relating to GI usability. The workshop brought together an international group of twenty experts in both human factors and GI, from a wide range of academic and industrial backgrounds. These experts considered three key issues, the stakeholders in GI, key challenges applying usability to GI and the usability methods that can be successfully applied to GI. The result of this workshop was to identify some areas for future research, such as the production of meaningful metadata and the implications of blurring of the line between data producers and data consumers.

“…Directive to the American Senate from May 1, 2000, abolished the selective availability of the GPS signals which led to the expansion of GPS devices, navigation systems and other GPS signal receivers that became available to the civilian population. The very precision and accuracy of the location via GPS signal today does not exceed the error of 6-10 m. [7]. Mass production and the use of GPS technology led to the fact that GPS receivers are found in most mobile phones today.…”

Abstract:The web has penetrated just about every sphere of human interest and using information from the web has become ubiquitous among di erent categories of users. Medicine has long being using the bene ts of modern technologies and without them it cannot function. This paper o ers a proposal of use and mutual collaboration of several modern technologies within facilitating the location and communication between persons in need of emergency medical assistance and the emergency head o ces, i.e., the ambulance. The main advantage of the proposed model is the technical possibility of implementation and use of these technologies in developing countries and low implementation cost.

“…All these applications have made maps more accessible to the general public. What is more, with the introduction of Web 2.0 and neocartography, the 'general public' can also contribute to the contents of these maps or create so-called mashup-maps based on available API's (Turner 2006;Haklay et al 2008;Crampton 2009;Kraak 2011;Roth & Ross 2012;Dodge & Kitchin 2013;Peterson 2014). The best known example of user generated contents (or Volunteered Geographic Information, VGI) can be found in Open Street maps.…”

Due to recent technological progress, maps have become more popular than ever before. This is especially true for young people, who interact with these technologies on a daily basis. Therefore, it is essential that these potential map users possess sufficient knowledge and skills to process the content of cartographic products. A user study was conducted during which pupils (aged 11-18 years) and geography students (>18 years) had to solve a number of cartography questions using topographic maps. The data were analysed statistically, taking into account a number of potentially influencing factors (user characteristics) on the participants' results: age, gender, youth club membership, knowledge about the area, among others. The results show a rising trend in the pupils' scores with increasing age, which can be explained by education in cartography at school. Geography students perform much better, but no influence of any other user characteristics was detected. For pupils, knowledge about the area and gender might be considered as influencing factors. However, the detected influence of gender depends on the scoring system.
