About the Book

A selection of case studies in the field of geographic citizen science casting insight on future research.

Unbeknownst to them as they made their scientific discoveries, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and other “gentlemen scientists” would later inspire a field of scientific practice and innovation known as citizen science. Today, the growth and availability of citizen science projects have been substantial, as anyone can now contribute to a scientific discipline without professional qualifications. As a subset of this movement, geographic citizen science presents a unique approach towards supporting the participation of everyday citizens in the collection, analysis, and dissemination of scientific data. This book presents a selection of wide-ranging case studies that provide insights into the design, interaction barriers, and lessons learned from a diverse set of participants. The volume captures the current status of research and development of geographic citizen science, providing critical insight to inform technological innovation and future research in this area.

About the Author :
Artemis Skarlatidou is Senior Research Associate in the Extreme Citizen Science (ExCiteS) group at UCL. Her research interests include Risk Communication, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and User Experience aspects (e.g. usability, aesthetics, trust) of citizen science applications, geospatial technologies and their spatial representations for expert and public use. Muki Haklay is Professor of Geographic Information Science at UCL. His research interests include public access, use, and creation of environmental information; interaction with geographical technologies; participatory mapping; and citizen science. He is the co-director of UCL Extreme Citizen Science group (ExCiteS) and co-founder of the social enterprise Mapping for Change.

Review :

'The "Indigenous Communities" chapters focus on representation of traditional ecological knowledge in Canada, Central Africa, and Brazilian Amazonia. This section provides exceptional insight into the design challenges of representing, e.g., pictographs or nonstandard characters using standard XML data architecture in user interface design, citing the Sapelli cellphone app developed to overcome language and literacy barriers This open-access text is commended to interdisciplinary readers interested in the confluence of user interface design, mobile geographic information systems, cultural anthropology, international development, and digital government ... Essential [for] Upper-division undergraduates. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals. General readers.'
Choice

'This is a fascinating book describing a shift in scientific paradigms to accommodate projects which are contextualised by place and needs of local communities and their cultures, using the most innovative and user-friendly technologies and where the outcomes can be radical and empowering for those participating.' Geographical Education
