Abstract

Reasonable urban planning requires public participation. Crowdsourcing is an emerging data acquisition and information evaluation method that encourages public participation and makes urban planning more scientific. This article articulates the necessity of utilizing crowdsourcing for urban planning. Then, this study identifies the crowdsourcing phases for urban planning by summarizing several cases and reviewing existing crowdsourcing techniques for data collection, cleaning and analysis. This study then summarizes future research directions for crowdsourcing such as 1) data cleaning techniques need to be further developed for instant feedback to mobile terminals to provide high quality data for urban planning and 2) methods for integrating multisource data to extract feedback from the public as the basis for decision making. Lastly, this study shows that to effectively utilize crowdsourcing, governments should carefully define the study scope and process when implementing crowdsourcing.

Key words
