*Special Issue:* Crowdsourced Data and Social Media in Participatory 
Urban Planning**
*Journal*: Urban Planning <http://www.cogitatiopress.com/urbanplanning>

*Deadline for Abstracts: *30 September 2017
*Deadline for Full Papers:* 15 November 2017
*Issue Release:* March 2018

Recent technological advances in the context of Web 2.0 developments 
like social media, smartphones, wearables, etc. have generated an 
increased demand for citizen involvement into planning processes and the 
formation of civic participation initiatives. This development has 
sparked research in the area of citizen-centric planning, making use of 
social technologies and applications. These neo-democratic developments 
are increasingly producing a vast amount and wide variety of 
user-generated data. The availability of these new and large datasets 
effectively necessitates new data science methods for analysing and 
visualising user-generated data, and for integrating citizens’ opinions 
into planning processes. This particularly calls for interdisciplinary 
approaches between urban planners, geoinformatics professionals, 
sociologists, computer scientists, environmental scientists, and others.

The overarching objective of this special issue is to foster a deeper 
understanding of urban processes from user-generated data to improve 
citizen-centric urban planning, addressing a wide number of application 
areas such as quality of life, traffic and transportation planning, 
sustainable tourism or public safety. We particularly encourage the 
submission of contributions in the following research fields:

- Participatory planning

  * Understanding urban processes from user-generated data
  * Community-based planning
  * Self-organisation and self-sustained neighbourhoods
  * Quality of life

- Crowdsourcing

  * Open Street Map (OSM) and other VGI/CGI platforms
  * Social media: analysis, communication and participation, visualisation

- Participatory and human sensing

  * Human sensing using wearables
  * Participatory sensing to integrate subjective data into planning
    processes

- Implications of data quality and analysis processes

  * Data quality: uncertainty, sample sizes, data types, limitations,
    and ambiguity in information extraction
  * Spatial analysis of urban emotions and behaviour
  * Scale specifications for the needs of urban planning

- Field studies and real-world examples: participatory planning in practice

  * Planners’ perspectives and demands w.r.t. geospatial analysis
  * Augmented and Virtual Reality in urban planning

- Bridging urban science and urban planning

*
