The appearance of OpenStreetMap (OSM) in 2004 sparked a phenomenon known as Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI). Today, VGI comes in many flavours (e.g. toponyms, GPS tracks, geo-tagged photos, micro-blogging or complete topographic... more
OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a free map of the world which can be edited by global volunteers. Existing studies have showed that completeness of OSM road data in some developing countries (e.g. China) is much lower, resulting in concern in... more

As the world is digitizing fast, the increase in Big and Small Data offers opportunities to enrich official statistics for reporting on Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). However, survey data coming from an increased number of... more
This paper is an Editorial for the Special Issue titled “OpenStreetMap as a multidisciplinary nexus: perspectives, practices and procedures”. The Special Issue is largely based on the talks presented in the 2019 and 2020 editions of the... more
Complex systems have been widely studied by social and natural scientists in terms of their dynamics and their structure. Scholars of cities and urban planning have incorporated complexity theories from qualitative and quantitative... more
Introduction aux fonctionnalités de base de la bibliothèque JavaScript MapBoxGL.
Cameroon has known, in recent years, a very important urban growth. This growth often took place amid messy, characterized, among other things, by the lack of tracking system in cities. Users of these towns very often find themselves... more
Urban scholars have studied street networks in various ways, but there are data availability and consistency limitations to the current urban planning/street network analysis literature. To address these challenges, this article presents... more
Route planning for transportation of goods is an es sential task. Determining a route for e.g. a truck is simple if the road network including the legal and technic al limitations like truck ban or weight restriction are known.... more
In recent years, a web phenomenon known as Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) has produced large crowdsourced geographic data sets. OpenStreetMap (OSM), the leading VGI project, aims at building an open-content world map through... more
State of the Map featured a full day of academic talks. Building upon the motto of SotM 2019 in "Bridging the Map" the Academic Track session was aimed to provide the bridge to join together the experience, understanding, ideas, concepts... more
OSMnx is a Python package for downloading OpenStreetMap street network data and then constructing it into NetworkX graphs. OSMnx can simplify and correct the network’s topology automatically to ensure that nodes actually exclusively... more
Defining the attributes of urban form which relate to city liveability has long been the research topic of a wide range of experts such as architects, urbanists, geographers, and, more recently, computational social scientists. Both... more
Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) is a growing area of research. This Special Issue aims to capture the main trends in VGI research based on 16 original papers, and distinguishes between two main areas, i.e., those that deal with... more
This article addresses the emergent phenomenon of carto-vandalism, the intentional defacement of collaborative cartographic digital artefacts in the context of volunteered geographic information. Through a qualitative analysis of reported... more
OpenStreetMap (OSM) is currently an important source for building data, despite the existence of potential quality issues. Previous studies have assessed OSM data quality by comparing it with reference building data, which may not... more
This thesis evaluates the possibility to construct a web application, which operates solely within a geospatially enabled CouchDB database. Its purpose is the matching of POIs from OpenStreetMap with a random set of points. To do so, a... more
In this paper I trace the origins of “neogeography” (a constellation of new mapping practices and populations on the geospatial web) to its roots in computer hacker culture, notably through early mapping mashups, known originally as “map... more
The academic community frequently engages with OpenStreetMap (OSM) as a data source and research subject, acknowledging its complex and contextual nature. However, existing literature rarely considers the position of academic research in... more
Today, many citizen science projects make use of crowd-mapping. Apart from specially designed web map applications, the crowd-mapping application OpenStreetMap provides several advantages to citizen science projects. But, to improve... more
In the Local Agenda 21 Planning Guide, which was developed out of the United Nations Rio Conference on the Environment in 1992, community-based mapping is identified as a best practice for locally-based sustainability planning. According... more
This final degree Project involves the realization of a system that takes as input different sets of open data from the open data portal of the city of Madrid. The information contained in these data sets will be enriched with information... more
A Map is the visual representation of the earth in meaningful way to serve specific purposes. With time it has developed from cave drawings to paper maps and then digital and finally web based maps. Web based online map services such as... more
This paper examines OpenStreetMap data quality at different stages of a participatory mapping process in seven slums in Africa and Asia. Data were drawn from an OpenStreetMap-based participatory mapping process developed as part of a... more
The route planning solutions promise improvements in terms of the travel time for a route if they are familiar with the traffic congestion state in real-time. With current solutions, where most are static and based on, the cost of road... more
As the volume of information available online continues to grow, there is an increasing problem with information overload. This issue is also escalating in the spatial domain as the amount of geo-tagged information expands. With such an... more
In this work, we present a routing approach avoiding relatively dangerous areas within a city. The information of how dangerous some urban areas are is derived using volunteered geographic information (VGI), governmental open data for... more
Land Use/Land Cover Maps (LULCM), fundamental for many areas of application, are usually generated through the classification of satellite imagery. However, their creation is time consuming and therefore updated LULCM are seldom... more

The Rural Access Index (RAI) is beneficial to monitor accessibility in rural areas. However, the RAI cannot indicate how many rural people have not been served (called Not Served Rural Population or NSRP), and it has only been mapped at a... more
Computational notebooks offer researchers, practitioners, students, and educators the ability to interactively conduct analytics and disseminate reproducible workflows that weave together code, visuals, and narratives. This article... more
