Volunteered geographic information and the future of geospatial data

Cláudio Elízio Calazans Campelo (Federal University of Campina Grande, Brazil), Michela Bertolotto (University College Dublin, Ireland), Padraig Corcoran (Cardiff University, UK), editors

"[This book] is a pivotal reference source for the latest scholarly research on information gathering from volunteers, as opposed to official agencies and private companies, to compile geospatial data. Highlighting a range of pertinent topics such as regional landscape mapping, road safety, and land usage, this book is ideally designed for researchers, academics, students, professionals, and practitioners interested in the growing area of volunteered geographic information"--Provided by publisher.
