2002) • Participatory GIS (PGIS) was one of the more substantive methodological and political themes to arise out of the “GIS and Society” research. (e.g. Environmental Decision making). • PGIS is meant to bring the academic practices of GIS and mapping to the local level in order to promote knowledge production. 1990s〜 (Public) Participatory GIS: PGIS Sieber, 2006; Weiner et al., 2007

the complex techniques of cartography and GIS and places them within reach of users and developers. • Neogeography is about sharing location informationwith friends and visitors, helping to shape contexts, and conveying an understanding through the knowledge of place. • Andrew Turner (2006): 『Introduction to Neogeography』 Neogeography
• Citizens are using handheld devices to collect geographic information and contribute it to crowd-‐sourced data sets • These citizens are largely untrained; their actions are almost always voluntary, and their results may or may not be accurate. → need to education & citizens science • Mostly open licensed large and global datasets
is scientific research conducted, in whole or in part, by amateur or nonprofessional scientists. • Sometimes, participatory monitoring and participatory action research. • cf. Participatory Sensing Source: http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100804/pdf/466685a.pdf Citizen Science (Irwin,1995)

Open Data x Geospatial • Data and Place Based Driven Decision Making – Data Visualization, GeoWeb • Reduction of Government Costs – Not need to inquiry counter – Beyond/seamless to local area data • Support to Open Government by Open Technology and Citizens Knowledge – Increased Citizen Engagement – Cultivation of GIS Volunteer
The deeply evaluation of open geospatial data for local government scale • Geographical extent, accuracy, frequency of update • Necessary to devise or even retrieve statistics in API for data portal – The evaluation by capture and introduction to the civic tech application • Aim for open government: is the participation of a variety of citizens and entities able to achieve this? • What kind of organization is to participate ?
