Geographic Participatory Sensing

Geographic Participatory Sensing is a method where people use their smartphones or devices to collect and share location-based data about their environment or urban areas. Participants report information such as traffic conditions, pollution levels, or infrastructure issues, contributing to a collective understanding of geographic spaces. This approach leverages community involvement to gather real-time, diverse data that can help city planners, researchers, and organizations make informed decisions and improve urban living conditions. It effectively combines technology and citizen input to monitor and address local challenges in a collaborative way.
