Abstract:
This work presents the prototype of a mobile application designed to make it easy for tourists to provide their opinions about the places they visit. Two characteristics make this application innovative. The first one is the use of a discrete global grid to collect the data, as discrete global grids are now just starting to be integrated with other Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies. And the second one is the strong emphasis on the emotions those places evoke on the users, an emphasis which is guided by the emotional cartography perspective. Besides this, tools are being added to allow the tourists to see and extend the views provided by previous visitors, in a collaborative, volunteered geographic information way.
