Conclusion
摘要
This chapter concludes the book by summarizing key findings on the conceptualization and practices of geo-participation. Conceptually, the proposed typology classifies geo-participation practices by differentiating the tools, methods, and outcomes of geo-participation and identifies opportunities and challenges of researching and implementing geo-participation. Empirically, this book tells a story of opportunities and challenges that sheds light on how local governments can use geosocial media as: (1) a data source for soliciting citizen input and (2) a tool for sharing and reporting issues related to routine government services and enabling new forms of government–citizen interaction.
