Critical success factors of geocrowdsourcing use in e-government: a case study from the Czech Republic

ORCID Icon
 

ABSTRACT

Geocrowdsourcing (geoCS) refers to a quite new phenomenon in geoinformatics, whereby citizens voluntarily collect, maintain and visualize different types of spatial data that might be useful for public authorities. As a rapidly evolving practice and area of research, there are, however, new challenges such as factors that influence its success. This qualitative study is an attempt to explore the critical success factors of geoCS within the field of mobile-based applications for environmental monitoring and reporting of civic issues.
