Title: Urban Emotions - Fusing Data from Technical and Human Sensors to Support Spatial Planning with Crowdsourced Emotion Information

Abstract:

The spatial and social structures of a city such as buildings, the transport infrastructure, parks as well as the dynamic nature of human activities and its underlying processes can trigger different collective and individual human emotions as a person’s response to such urban contexts. However, the integration of such human urban emotions into citizen-centric spatial planning processes is a major challenge in order to contribute to a fundamentally changing understanding of spatial and regional planning.
