Evaluative Maps 2.0 : a web map approach to capture people´s perceptions of a city
| Resumo: | An evaluative image of a city can significantly help urban planners to understand the way citizens perceived their cities. In 1990, Nasar started this concept, but the method proposed by him is already outdated regarding technology. This masters thesis proposed, implemented and evaluated an alternative way of creating an evaluative image of a city through an interactive web map platform, here called eImage. eImage is an open-source system developed exploring the concept of “SoftGIS,” by developing a public participation geographic information system , as a method to explore local knowledge of the citizens about a city. A user study with sixty-eight participants was conducted in Lisbon (Portugal) to test eImage and to understand the usability and usefulness of this platform, for what it is intended to do. The results showed a good usability score and usefulness of this platform. |
