GI_Forum publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical and sustainable science and society. GI_Forum implements the policy of open access publication after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of seasoned scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions. Only English language contributions are published.

Starting 2016, GI_Forum publishes two issues a Year.

Abstract

Crowdsourcing and volunteered geographical information (VGI) have proven to be popular methods in many citizen science projects, but using the knowledge of the crowd in data mining of old maps is still rare. This paper presents the project “Stories of Places”, the aim of which is to collect spatial and subjective data about peaks based on a particular map of north Bohemia from 1927 using the author’s own web map application. The quality control of data is conducted by participants themselves: anyone involved in the project could validate the data. The results of the data collection are explored from statistical and spatial points of view as well as by the volunteers. Involved in the project were 19 participants from both inside and outside the region studied, proving that the public is able to analyse an old map. The results also showed differences in the way volunteers work, indicating that volunteers from the region are more suitable for collecting qualitative data. The results of the project from the perspective of the participants as well as the author are discussed in the conclusion.

Keywords: public participation, old maps, data mining, VGI, citizen science
