Gamification Mechanism for Enhancing a Participatory Urban Sensing: Survey and Practical Results

Yutaka Arakawa, Yuki Matsuda: “Gamification Mechanism for Enhancing a Participatory Urban Sensing: Survey and Practical Results,” Journal of Information Processing, Vol.57, No.1, pp.31-38, 2016.

Abstract

This paper investigates gamification mechanisms and their application for promoting participatory urban sensing. Participatory sensing, which utilizes user smartphones as sensors, is focused on as an effective and economical sensing mechanism for wide areas. However, countinuing to motivate many participants for a long time is difficult. In addition, monetary incentives are limited generally. To solve these problems, gamification mechanisms are considered one promising technique because they have the potential to suppress monetary incentives by maintaining the motivation of participants. In addition to a general survey, we introduce our past practical research results on gamified participatory urban sensing.
