The OPARA service was recently upgraded to a new technical platform. You are visiting the outdated OPARA website. Please use https://opara.zih.tu-dresden.de/ to visit the current OPARA website. Previously stored data will be migrated in near future and then the old version of OPARA will finally be shut down. Existing DOIs for data publications remain valid.

"Geovisual analysis of VGI for understanding people’s behaviour in relation to multi-faceted context" Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) in the form of actively and passively generated spatial content offers extensive potential for a wide range of applications. Realising this potential however requires methods which take account of the specific properties of such data, for example its heterogeneity, quality, subjectivity, spatial resolution and temporal relevance. The creation and production of such content through social media platforms is an expression of human behaviour, and as such influenced strongly by events and external context. In this project we will develop geovisual analysis methods which show how actors interact in LBSM, and how their interactions influence, and are influenced by, their physical and social environment and relations.

This project is open access and publicly accessible.
