Abstract: Map-based discussion forums can be used for crowdsourcing people’s ideas and opinions with respect to public planning processes. Their volunteered geographic information consists of text and other media that are linked to geographic features. Building on the concept of argumentation mapping, Cartoforum was developed using the Boundless geostack, an open-source geospatial software package. We present the software architecture and functionality along with three pilot studies covering cycle lane planning in Toronto, Canada; community garden site-selection in the Toronto region; and campus sustainability at the University of Kerala, India. Together, the pilot studies demonstrate the utility of argumentation mapping and illustrate the range of its potential applications in citizen participation. Keywords: argumentation mapping, public participation GIS, campus sustainability, community gardens, cycling infrastructure, volunteered geographic information Published Online: 2019/06/19 08:48:07 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5576 0x003aba4d 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.
