  • Mapping the Space of Location-Based Services 5
    CHARLIEDETAR MAPPINGTHESPACEOFLOCATION- BASEDSERVICES 2 charlie detar Abstract This paper is an attempt to both summarize the current state of Lo- cation Based Services (LBS), and to unpack and problematize the underlying assumptions on which they operate. Location based ser- vices — including applications for mapping and navigation, social networking, gaming, and tourism and information services — are all based on the idea that information about a user’s location can be used to adapt the content and user interface of a service, improving it. However, the “location” used by these systems is usually restricted to data-poor representations such as geographic coordinates, and as such provides an insufficient cue for the rich and culturally contin- gent context embodied in the notion of a “place”. I will argue that developers should consider both the salience of the particular place- or space-based context to their application domain, and the potential impacts the application will have on a user’s sense of place when designing location based services. Contents 1 Introduction: Location, Location, Location 4 2 Space: the geometry of location 7 3 Place: the interpretation of location 12 4 Technology of space and place 17 5 Space, place, and location based services 22 6 Conclusion 45 7 Bibliography 46 1 Introduction: Location, Location, Location Location is a deep component of how we experience the world — it encapsulates not only a mathematical abstraction for our positions in space, but also a rich set of cultural meanings that we associate with particular places, which bound and contextualize our experience. The concept of “place” combines both geography and sociality — one has a “place” in relation to other people (and deviant behavior is “out of place”).

However, empirical evidence from past studies enough to drive LBS adoption. To boost the adoption rate, suggests that these services do not individually provide enough researchers should consider an under-explored research area: the value to drive the overall LBS adoption.
