Summary:

Locative mapping with smartphones is the process of collecting geolocative data using mobile applications, with the data typically being visualized using maps. When such spatial data is collected, the researcher is usually interested in more than just the locations individuals have visited. Spatial data can show how individuals interact with their social and physical environments. Using smartphones for data collection allows the researcher to move beyond geotracking and to include different pieces of information, such as photos or recordings which can be connected to location data. Considerations such as what types of data you want to collect and who you want to collect data from greatly influence how to design your data collection process. In this guide, we will introduce you to the process of locative mapping and collecting spatial data with smartphones and offer advice to help you choose the most suitable software for your project. We will also discuss how the data collection process can be paired with participatory methods to gain deeper insights into the data collected.
