Geo-crowdsourcing and map-based reporting for smart government

Abstract

Smart government employs data collection, processing, and disseminating technology to improve services through citizen engagement and open data. Geo-crowdsourcing is a method of crowdsourcing for geospatial data, especially through smartphone application. The proposed system consists of geo-crowdsourcing mobile application for city-related events, data processing module, and map-based visualization for improving government’s policy. Prototype for each module is presented and related smart city frameworks are discussed in this work.
