Abstract: OpenStreetMap (OSM) is known as the most successful application in the field of crowdsourced Volunteered Geographic Information. Studies show that the vast majority of OSM contributors are middle-aged, well-educated males in stable employment. Accordingly, OSM data represents the worldview of a sharply delimited social group. To overcome this, it is necessary to identify the issues which prevent new user groups from contributing to OSM. This paper elucidates the problems behind these mechanisms and identifies the challenges of new users by focusing on the example of senior citizens. Keywords: OpenStreetMap, usability, challenges, exclusion, education Published Online: 2017/06/30 11:56:48 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5576 0x00369da8 Rights:https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/
GI_Forum publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical and sustainable science and society. GI_Forum implements the policy of open access publication after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of seasoned scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions. Only English language contributions are published.
