<p>Dear colleagues,</p>
<p>we are happy to invite you to submit your crowdsourcing-related research to a special issue on "Urban Geoinformatics" (see the PDF in the attachment). It would further be most kind, if you could disseminate this call to interested scholars in your personal
networks.<br>
</p>
Thank you very much, looking foward to your submissions, and nice greetings from Heidelberg,<br>
René Westerholt<br>

<p><span style="font-size:11.000000pt; font-family:'Calibri'">Modern mobile devices are pervasively equipped with embedded sensors and cameras, and allow the positioning of media contents in geographic space. In combination with Web 2.0 technologies, this has
led to the crowdsourcing approach, which in turn has become an important data acquisition paradigm. It is now possible to collect large amounts of geospatial data in a timely fashion and at low costs, especially in urban areas that feature vast numbers of
contributors. Crowdsourcing thus opens up new possibilities for the disclosure of social processes, and for the coping of a range of societal and environmental issues related to urban conurbations. For instance, crowdsourcing allows the integration of user-generated
information into urban planning and management workflows</span><span style="font-size:11.000000pt; font-family:'Calibri'">—</span><span style="font-size:11.000000pt; font-family:'Calibri'">and is thus a crucial step towards the design of smarter and more sustainable
cities. However, at the same time, crowdsourcing brings up new issues to the research agendas: a) huge amounts of data need to be processed, b) more thorough interdisciplinary collaboration is needed, and c) a general lack of theorizing on crowdsourced geodata
and underlying related processes. Further, researchers as well as practitioners are often sceptical about the suitability of crowdsourced data. This is mostly being caused by potential quality issues, heterogeneous data characteristics, lacks of user credibility,
semantic ambiguities, and potential positional inaccuracies, among others. </span>
