Natural disasters,such as wildfires,earthquakes,landslides,or floods,lead to an increase in topical information shared on social media and in increased mapping activities in volunteered geographic information(VGI)*** earthquakes in Nepal and Central Italy as case studies,this research analyzes the effects of natural disasters on short-term(weeks)and longer-term(half year)changes in OpenStreetMap(OSM)mapping behavior and tweet activities in the affected *** increase of activities in OSM during the events can be partially attributed to those focused OSM mapping campaigns,for example,through the humanitarian OSM Team(hOT).Using source tags in OSM change-sets,it was found that only a small portion of external mappers actually travels to the affected regions,whereas the majority of external mappers relies on desktop mapping ***,the study analyzes the spatio-temporal sequence of posted tweets together with keyword filters to identify a subset of users who most likely traveled to the affected regions for support and rescue *** also explores where,geographically,earthquake information spreads within social networks.

In 2016,Niantic Labs released Pokémon Go,an augmented reality smartphone game that attracted millions of users *** game allows users to“catch”Pokémons through their mobile cameras in different geographic locations that often correspond to prominent *** paper analyzes the distribution of PokéStops,Pokémon gyms,and spawnpoints in selected urban areas of South Florida and *** identifies which socioeconomic variables and landuse categories affect the density of PokéStops,and how PokéStops and gyms cluster relative to each *** nearest neighbor analysis,this paper assesses also how actual PokéStop locations are reflected in Yelp’s“PokéStop nearby”*** show that black and hispanic neighborhoods are disadvantaged when it comes to crowd-sourced data coverage,that PokéStops occur more frequently in commercial,recreational and touristic sites and around universities,and that PokéStops tend to cluster around *** latter suggests that these point sets were generated by a similar location selection *** mitigate geographically linked biases,future versions of augmented reality and geo-games should aim to make them equally accessible in all areas,for example by placing extra resources,such as points of interest,in neighborhoods that are currently underrepresented in data coverage.
