Maritime spatial planning (MSP) is a decision-making process for managing human activities at sea. Stakeholder participation is critical to MSP processes. Spatial decision support systems (SDSSs) can be effective tools for analyzing problems in MSP, for example, the impact of human activities on marine ecosystems. However, despite the fact that mul...

Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) is an essentially collaborative and interactive process of managing human actions at seas and ensuring protection of the marine environment (Morf et al., 2019). Education of MSP often takes place in interactive university courses that employ physical elements for facilitation of spatial communication in negotiative g...

Maritime spatial planning (MSP) needs tools to facilitate discussions and manage spatial data in collaborative workshops that involve actors with various backgrounds and expertise. However, the reported use of spatial tools in real‐world MSP is sparse. A better understanding is needed of how geographic information systems (GIS) can effectively supp...

We have created a cross-platform web-map CGIS for collaborative Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) workshops, called Baltic Explorer [1]. MSP requires simple and easy to use tools for facilitating discussion and managing spatial data in collaborative workshops (Pınarbaşı et al. 2017). Yet, according to reports from real-world MSP workshops, digital sp...

Successful maritime spatial planning processes require stake-holder engagement and participation, thus requiring tools that support collaboration. Communication-driven spatial decision support systems are designed to facilitate decision making processes of complex spatial problems and are therefore suited for this task, but there are unresolved que...

This study presents results from an on-going social map service pilot that supports a national mapping agency (NMA) in data collection. Results from the pilot show that a VGI map service benefits both citizens and the NMA; the data quality is high enough to suit the needs of an NMA; citizens obtain a means to contribute and be involved in ameliorat...

Sharing hyperlocal geospatial knowledge with one’s community may foster many positive outcomes, such as increasing a sense of community. However, much of this information travels by word of mouth and, therefore, does not reach everyone in time or even at all. We present the human-centred concept design process of #hylo, a geosocial network in which...

This paper describes the early development of #hylo –a privacy preserving geosocial network for sharing hyperlocal information on a map.. #hylo demonstrates how to ensure users identity and location privacy in a geosocial network Via the #hylo mobile map application users share public hyperlocal information and are able to manage their location an...

The paper describes the development of a research prototype of a multi-touch map application for multi-use on a large multi-touch screen intended for public spaces. The presented system setup and the development steps provide insight into what can be expected when similar systems are designed. A number of new considerations regarding multi-touch in...

This poster presents a networking solution for delivering geographic features linked to social media among different channels of a centralised multichannel map service. The multichannel map service consists of a desktop web map and a multi-touch wall map channels targeted at planning and memorising a hike as well as of a mobile device map channel t...

The paper presents a multi-touch map application and its usability evaluation. The multi-touch map application is one of the channels in a map-based, multi-channel service for hikers that is being developed as a part of an on-going research project. The map application on the multi-touch screen was exhibited in the centre of Helsinki, in Finland, f...

This chapter describes the results of an empirical study aiming to provide additional knowledge on human verbal descriptions of routes and landmarks. The purpose of the present study is also to provide a theoretical basis for the design and implementation of our terrain navigator — a Location Based Service (LBS) for hikers. The central question reg...

Along with the increasing number of mobile applications for pedestrian use a need arises for more intuitive wayfinding instructions, also for broader use such as hiking. To get a deeper understanding about what kinds of terms and concepts people use when moving in a natural environment and how they describe their surroundings, an empirical thinking...

The paper presents the usability evaluation of a map-based multipublishing service for outdoor leisure activities. The multi-publishing service allows users to access the same spatial information contents through different channels, such as printed maps, map applications for the web or mobile phones and other interactive media. These channels toget...

In the paper we discuss how data matrices are being applied in an experimental way in the MenoMaps research project. One of the outcomes of the project is a map-based service prototype with multipublishing channels capable of delivering the same map data for the users via different media. We demonstrate how the data matrices could be displayed on p...
